“We urgently needed a competent gardener/caretaker for our approx. 5,000 m² estate, as well as a reliable housekeeper. When we turned to BUTLER BUREAU, we experienced exceptionally competent and discreet guidance. Within a very short time, two gentlemen and a housekeeper were introduced to us – all of them matched our requirements outstandingly. We were able to fill the positions immediately and with the best feeling. We particularly appreciated the friendly, attentive communication. Our questions – whether by telephone or email – were always answered promptly and clearly. The reliability and dedication of Ms. Mag. Schlegel were impressive. In short: BUTLER BUREAU is our first port of call when it comes to qualified domestic staff – friendly, professional, and entirely reliable.”
