Yacht Chefs & Traveling Household Staff: Placement for Mobile Families

For families who split the year between residences, yachts and travel, household staffing stops being local. The chef who cooks in Aspen in January may be plating lunch off Capri in July — if the placement was designed for it.

The roles that travel best

• Private chefs with yacht or chalet seasons in their background
• Rota nannies built for time-zone-hopping schedules
• Housekeeper couples who open and close seasonal residences
• Personal assistants who run logistics across continents

What makes travel placements work

Written travel terms — hours, days off, accommodation standards, per diems — agreed before the first trip. The families who formalize this keep their best people for years; the ones who improvise re-hire every season.

Elite Swiss places travel-experienced chefs, nannies and household staff across the USA, Europe and beyond — for residences, yachts and everything between. Tell us your calendar, and we build the team around it.
