About SilverthorneEstate & Household Staffing

Silverthorne Estate & Household Staffing exists because private households deserve considered judgment, held privately, and applied with care to their particular home.

Combined years inside private estates

Our two founders’ experience spans different private-estate roles and household environments, from city households to mountain properties, coastal residences, farms, ranches, and multigenerational estates. This range gives us perspective, and excellent outcomes.

The Founder’s Letter

I know from experience that the right person can bring confidence, continuity, and genuine ease to a household. I also know how personal the decision is to welcome someone into your home and trust them with the people, routines, and responsibilities that matter most.

No two households are alike. Each has its own rhythm, expectations, challenges, and personality. That is why we begin by listening. We want to understand not only what needs to be done, but how the family lives and what kind of person will feel naturally at home within that environment.

Our years in private service allow us to recognize qualities that cannot always be captured on a résumé: judgment, emotional intelligence, discretion, flexibility, and pride in one’s work. We bring that perspective to every conversation and every introduction.

Silverthorne Estate & Household Staffing was founded to create placements built on mutual respect and clear expectations. Our purpose is to help families find exceptional people and to help exceptional professionals find households where their work is valued and the relationship can last.

Ritchie & Amanda Silverthorne
Founders
Thirty-five years. Three observations.
01

The household must be understood.

We begin with listening. Schedules, residences, travel, family dynamics, and management style, the practical details that define how the role must function inside the home.

02

Character carries the work.

Skills can be taught. Judgment, temperament, communication, and discretion cannot. We assess for integrity, maturity, and the instinct to protect what is private.

03

A short list is the standard.

We present only those who are aligned in experience, outlook, and fit. Fewer introductions. Better outcomes. Stronger homes for the long term.

From the Blue Ridge to the coast, we understand the rhythms of life across our state, its communities, its seasons, and the standards that shape the way homes are run.

Our reach is national. Our perspective is local. That combination is rare, and it matters.
