We're Rachael and Nick
the founders of Oceanside Staffing.
With decades of firsthand experience in private service-both on land and at sea-we recognized a clear gap in the industry: families needed more than just resumes. They needed a trusted partner who truly understands the nuances of luxury living and the importance of the right fit. Oceanside was created to meet that need.
Rachael began her career over 20 years ago as a nanny in a private home, later growing into roles as a private educator, chief stewardess, and hiring manager. She's spent her life understanding what makes a household thrive-from the inside out.
Nick's path began in military service with Britain's Airborne Infantry, followed by 20 years as a yacht captain and later, an estate manager overseeing some of the Caribbean's most prestigious properties. His operational expertise and leadership in high-pressure environments bring unmatched value to our clients.
Together, we've built a boutique agency that approaches staffing with the same care and discretion you expect in your home. We don't just fill roles-we build relationships. We take the time to understand your household's rhythm, culture, and long-term goals so we can thoughtfully match you with professionals who elevate your lifestyle. We look forward to earning your trust and helping you build a team that reflects the standards and values of your home.
Meet Our Team.
