Hiring Household Staff in Dallas: Highland Park to Preston Hollow

Dallas does household staffing at Texas scale: large residences, full teams, serious entertaining. The market is deep — but the best candidates are still claimed early and quietly.

What Dallas families hire

• Executive housekeepers for large Highland Park and Preston Hollow homes
• Nannies, often combined with family-assistant duties
• Private chefs for daily family dining plus large-scale events
• Estate and house managers for multi-staff households

The salary picture

Dallas runs slightly below coastal markets: housekeepers $55,000–$85,000, nannies $65,000–$110,000, chefs $90,000–$140,000, estate managers $120,000–$200,000. No state income tax makes Dallas packages go further — a recruiting advantage worth mentioning to coastal candidates.

What wins candidates here

Longevity is prized in this market — Dallas families keep great staff for decades, and candidates know it. Clear contracts, guaranteed hours and genuine respect produce extraordinary loyalty in return.
