Client Testimonials
We are thrilled o be working with you – thank you for your hard work.
We can wholeheartedly recommend Clare!
Thanks once again for your sagacious advice this afternoon. You’re a font of insight, knowledge, and guidance.
Clare’s diligent listening skills and laser-sharp judgement is hugely impressive. She has an uncanny skill to see below the surface, hear what you want and deliver exactly what you need, which isn’t necessarily what you thought you wanted! She is trustworthy, efficient and highly professional. Recommended.
By way of introduction, I am the Office Manager on xxxxx. The Estate Manager, xxxxx asked that I contact you as we are looking to fill the above positions and I understand you have worked with xxxx previously
Dear Clare
Thank you very much for your time on the phone yesterday. You are always a font of knowledge and advice! Do let me know when you’re next in London so that we can have lunch together.
As always, my best wishes
All the best and I will certainly recommend you to anyone looking for your services.
We truly hope she enjoys working with us and will stay with us long term.
Thank you so much for finding her!
You will find attached the letter of reference we did with B for your records We were really pleased.
I just wanted to say how pleased we are with Chris and Wendy. They are so nice and extremely capable and we love having them here.
We are going to make them permanent employees, assuming they too want to extend, at the end of August.
I hope you are having a good summer. The hugest of thanks for finding them
Hello Clare
Everything has been running very satisfactorily with Claudio.
Many thanks.
We are really loving Naomi and the work she is doing. She works on her own initiative and does everything to a high quality
She has also fitted in well with us at a personal level
Just a quick feedback: Jane kindly helped us yesterday and she is absolutely wonderful!
She did some cleaning, ironing and pancakes, and in addition emptied the dishwasher without having been asked to do so as I thought it might be tricky to find where things need to go. She found it all by herself!
Julie and Ross have been here a few days and are getting stuck in, happy to help outdoors and taking the lead on some jobs. Both seem nice people and I have all my fingers crossed it works out.
That’s lovely to hear, thank you Clare. We would really like to offer her the job I do hope she will accept it. Thank you so much Clare, and fingers crossed

Sxxxxxx has been and continues to be absolutely perfect for us – thank you so much again!!
First of all, thank you so much for finding Axxxxx for me. She is a gem and I feel so blessed that she has come my way – and this is thanks to you. As I said, I think she will make a big difference to me and I hope I will to her. She was a great hit with the home team here.
Hello Clare Many thanks – Sxxxxxx is AMAZING!!Thank you so much for all your hard work – our lives feel immeasurably improved already!
Thank you for your email – delighted to report an absolutely stonking first day from Sxxxxxx! We love her, Jxxxxx loves her and our stomachs love her! Epic work! Thank you so so much.
Oh Clare You really have made this whole process seamless & so easy. We were so daunted by the prospect of finding someone to slot into x and x lives & instantly make things easier but that really has been the case. We really appreciate the support you’ve provided, thank you.
Dearest Clare, You are a complete star! L called in this morning and she’s going to come regularly to help once a week. It will be so lovely to have someone here who we know and trust. Thank you, thank you.
Thanks so much. I am sure we will work together again in the future! Thanks for all your help!
As I would have expected from your recommendations, Tammy is fab.
Just wanted to check in to say a huge thank you for connecting us to Dxxx, he’s been amazing. Also, excited to finally meet Axxx tomorrow!
have read through these properly now and LOVE them. I think they are great with such useful and comprehensive advice in there for both sides. I really like the idea of the diary and the weekly 15 minute chats which we should definitely implement. I have printed them off.
What a brilliant CV and reference
I really enjoyed the whole process today I appreciate very much the personal and collaborative approach which is an extremely rare and, I believe, sought after commodity by those who value this type of working relationship. Thank you as well for explaining what takes place in the pre/during/post parts of an interview process. This will be very helpful and I am grateful for the support.I look forward very much to working with you.
Thanks Clare – I am seeing the principal today Will certainly put XX CV in front of her too. I’m currently not using another agency on this as I like your approach so much
Dear Clare, You have left an answerphone message for me to add to the detailed email reply to my original application. Again, thanks. It is a pity that more agencies don’t show the professionalism and commitment to responding to clients that you do.
Good luck with your business – filling a very big need.
Hi Clare! Long time! Hope you are well and doing good. My Boss’s Mother has asked on behalf of Friends of hers who have a house in Holland Park if I know of a decent Agent. They need a Couple to help them including cook, shop and driving. No idea of any other details about them or the job but I have said you are the best I know! Good luck! Take care.
I’ve been away a lot with work over the last few weeks and XXX has worked so well! She’s kept everyone organised – cooked for everyone, organised Lily’s Duke of Edinburgh expedition trip, and kept all the tradespeople out of the main house to name but a couple of things. She’ll turn her hand to anything without hesitation and we get on really well. Thank you so much for your help in finding someone so compatible with our family needs!
I hope xxx gets in touch, did xxx from xx ever get in touch? If not send them an email saying xxx has recommended domestic bliss recruitment agency for all their staffing needs
XX is terrific. We are happy to offer him the position of General handyman, gardener, driver. He is a charming man. Thank you Clare for finding us the right person at just the right time.
I shall certainly be in touch with you . You have been very helpful and xxx very much advised me to go to you so if any of my friends need to find help in the future I will give them your name and number.
I want to take the opportunity Clare, to say thank you for your professionalism and your attention to detail.
We have now ended the search for the Assistant Housekeeper, however I wanted to thank you for your professionalism and being so helpful throughout that period, in future I will recommend your agency to my colleagues if they need to reach out for help.
Candidate Testimonials
Just want to say ‘thank you so much’ for your kindness and great effort in placing me for this role. Very much appreciated!
I start the trial on Monday; cooking dinner and staying the night for HK work on Tuesday. I’ll try my best! Thank you so much.
We are enjoying it here; Mr and Mrs X are lovely and very accommodating.
Our accommodation is very nice and very modern, couldn’t ask for anymore.
Thank you so much for giving me this job opportunity,
They are a fantastic family. Yesterday I started cooking for them and they enjoyed my lasagne.
I am very happy 😊
Just to let you know everything is going really well. I have been meaning to message you but I’ve fully thrown myself into the role and its just been super busy. I am very happy though and everyone here is lovely! 🙂 Thank you so much for everything
Thank you for your honesty, direction and advice.
I hope you’re doing well. I wanted to reach out to you personally as someone I trust and value for your expertise in private household placements.
As you may remember, I previously found a role through your agency, and I truly appreciate your understanding of my background and experience.
This is just a brief note to thank you for taking the time to speak with me earlier.
Thank you also for sharing with me your advice and wisdom.
Over the next few days I will bring my CV up-to-date after 12 busy years at Holland Park!
Thank you so much for taking the time to meet with us and talk about domestic couple opportunities. I really admire the mission that drives your business, and look forward to the opportunity to work with you in the future.
Thank you for your email and for the delightful meeting this morning. Registration complete, I am extremely happy with the level of personalised attention you provide to each role. I feel comfortable and confident in your hands.
It was so nice hearing your voice this morning over the phone! Such good memories of my first years in London, tough as they were!. However, I will never forget how much you helped me and all the invaluable wise advice that you shared with me.
I must say that out of all the agencies I’ve registered with past and present I can say with absolute confidence that my first impressions of you and your service is first class. Thank you in advance for all your hard work and Input in helping me to find my next role.
Thank you so much for reaching out. It is definitely very rare to have a wonderful follow up so I am deeply moved by your gesture of kindness.
Hi Clare, It was lovely to meet you. You are an inspiration and you really made me think about myself and my own happiness in my search for my future employment. I absolutely love your agency. Its one of care and gives great attention to everyone’s needs. I was browsing through the other night and I love the way you keep in touch with the people at their placements. I really admire that and how you are conscientious and thoughtful of where to place different people. I find that very uplifting!! and it gives me great confidence. I will take on board advice. I feel you get to know people extremely quickly!! Thankyou again Clare for a lovely interview.
Thank you for your kind words. I will recommend you and have in the past. I always enjoyed chatting with you as you are straight talking.
It was great speaking with you Clare. Thank you so much for your time and advice. It is really appreciated. Feeling so excited and happy about our future
Just wanted to let you know that you are one of the few (or maybe the only one) agents that gave me a clear idea of what is happening during a recruitment process.
You are so kind for sharing the relevant information that we need. It’s so hard when applying for a new position… Employers always look for experience which we understand but how to get the experience when no ones willing to give us a chance? We do believe with all the valuable skills gained over the years in the Hospitality Industry there is no doubt we can perform the duties asking of us. Thank you again for taking the time to share your guidance.
I trust you are well. Thank you for the chat on WhatsApp yesterday. Initially, I did not quite grasp what you were trying to explain to me in the beginning, but then did!. I do respect your professionalism and advice.
Thank you very much for your suggesting a cooking course, it is really helpful. I have actually looked for one before, but did not find any thing which will be useful (they were all just one day, or just specific cuisine). I also hope our paths do cross. I wish you all the best, good luck and success – you sound absolutely fabulous. Your web site is really stylish and welcoming too.
We hope that business is good for you Clare and that Domestic bliss appointments go from strength to strength, you are still the best Domestic Agent in the field…!! No other agency has shown as much care and consideration to our welfare as you have…!!
Good morning Clare, good to hear from you and glad things are going well…!! We had a look at your new ‘brochure’ it is an excellent concept and a long awaited approach to this funny ‘ol business!! In our experience it is amazing how many people treat their staff with a demeaning attitude!! It is more than a job to us, it is a lifestyle and often 24/7 even off duty we are very much ‘onsite’ and available, we are very flexible but sometimes the mutual respect for privacy and down time is very much one sided. As you know we are searching again for that ‘illusive’ possibly fictitious ‘perfect’ position. Our judge of character has proved to be no measure in which to go by. It does not look too good that we are now in our third, full time position in this business and now looking for our fourth!! Unfortunately our side of the stories are often unheard. Still, we are not quite yet broken and we are going to give one more position a try before we throw in the towel and change our career paths. With the launch of Domestic Bliss Appointments we have renewed faith and hope that finally a position with good, honest, genuine, mentally stable, emotionally unchallenged, realistic and non patronising employers comes our way…..fingers crossed!! :-)
Afternoon Clare, Just a wee update on our position re working as a couple. After your recommendations/editing our CV we secured a job in the Highlands. We are over the moon. The clients are fantastic. M & I want to thank you so much for all your assistance. If you hadn’t guided us, we’d most likely still be struggling to get our foot in the door, and show our potential!
Hi Clare, I just wanted to say thank you for taking the time to speak with me this morning. You gave me lots of useful information which I have taken on board. I feel so much more confident on which way to continue forward with our new Housekeeping venture.
Thanks for all the tips, details and my CV. The CV you have created really illustrated me as a person and my experience, so I can’t thank you enough.
Thank you Clare, you are one of the few (only) person(s) who took the time to explain this to me. I greatly appreciate it and will follow your kind advice.

Thank you so much for your time this morning, it was such a pleasure to speak with you too and it has given me a big boost of confidence that I’m in safe hands to find a fantastic new role that’s right for me.
A big thank you for our last phone conversation who helped me to project myself into this opportunity.
The CV is fabulous and is a transformation of what I sent you. I am very grateful. The first agent asked to keep my CV, and would be in touch if the client wanted to see additional candidates. No one has been in touch with me since then.The other agent contacted me on Thursday and said they wanted to talk to me on Friday about my candidacy in more detail and discuss the positions (more than one!) they had available. No one has been in touch with me since then.Neither of them had taken the time and trouble to ask me to properly re-write my CV, as you have done. Neither of them had invested the time in me that you have.Thank you so much for the guidance and advice
It was an absolute pleasure to chat with you yesterday. Bodhi and I have had long discussions about the next step this year in the current situation and we’ve decided we will join private yachts for the season/ or 1yr contract. With this in mind we won’t pursue the role discussed any further. However I cannot thank you enough for our discussion yesterday, how refreshing it was to speak to a agent that is so passionate and professional about provided a fully planned out and excellently delivered recruitment process for an industry that so desperately needs it. I have no doubt when I am ready to go land based, you will be the first person I call!
It was the most exciting and informative interview, nothing to compare with the other interviews we had with other agencies.
Adri and I wish to extend our sincerest gratitude to you for all your amazing input and time spent explaining how to present our CV’s …this has been invaluable to the both of us. I don’t believe that in my entire history of applying for jobs and revising my CV, speaking to recruiters or employers anyone has ever taken the time and made the effort to point me in the right direction.
Thank you for your time, enthusiasm and great CV feedback and top tips
We have been extremely pleased with your service and how professional you are.
We will no doubt use you again when any required.If Julien needs another job, we will definitely recommend him.
He is an extremely good cook, very healthy, very creative, different style of food et very discreet. We were delighted.
Thanks again and hope all the best for you.
