Our Founders
Rachael adds a complementary path of her own. She began her career as a nanny and private educator for high-net-worth families, where her master's degree in education shaped her approach. After many years in yachting, she broadened her expertise in service and operations before co-founding Oceanside. Today, she continues to draw on those experiences in guiding placements with care, insight, and attention to detail.
Together, Rachael and Nick believe that families deserve more than simply filling positions. Oceanside is committed to helping families build trusted household teams - professionals with the emotional intelligence to anticipate needs, the judgement to know when to step in or step back, and the discretion to operate seamlessly in the background. These qualities go beyond what can be listed on a résumé, but they are at the heart of every placement Oceanside makes.
Oceanside Staffing was founded by husband-and-wife team, Rachael Hudson-Svolis and Nick Svolis, who share a lifelong commitment to serving families at the highest level.
Nick brings more than 20 years of experience in private service, from managing life aboard some of the world's most distinguished super yachts to overseeing one of Harbor Island's most prestigious estates. His background gives him a practical yet thoughtful perspective on what it takes to run a seamless household.
