HUM Homes is a private household staffing and advisory firm specializing in long-term, high-trust placements for busy professionals and families across the U.S.
We place Household Managers, Personal Assistants, and Family Assistants who bring structure, discretion, and proactive problem-solving into private residences. Our process is hands-on and highly curated, focused on alignment, professionalism, and longevity.

The Household Manager becomes a trusted, long-term presence
Running a home is a full-time job. HUM makes sure it's done right. We recruit and place dedicated house managers, then go further than anyone in the industry: we build a custom home operating system documenting every preference and standard, train your house manager before they start, and provide ongoing support for as long as it takes. No guesswork. No turnover cycle. Just a home that runs and a family that's closer because of it.
