Private Household Operations
Private household staffing, supported by a calmer household system.
Audelle helps families hire trusted household professionals — household managers, nannies, family assistants, drivers, housekeepers, organizers, outdoor and property managers, and private chefs — then gives them a private app to manage menus, calendars, vendors, household tasks, staff responsibilities, and recurring home rhythms.
Hire the right household professional. Manage the home through Audelle.

What Audelle Does
Three pillars. One calmer home.
We manage the invisible work of home — the meals, laundry systems, school logistics, vendors, filters, appointments, and the mental load of keeping everything moving.
01
Design the right household role
We help you understand what support your family actually needs — scope, hours, responsibilities, and the fit that will truly work in your home.
02
Find and hire trusted household support
We source, screen, and place vetted household professionals — managers, nannies, family assistants, drivers, housekeepers, and property help.
03
Install the household systems that keep the home running
Menus, calendars, vendor rhythms, maintenance reminders, seasonal resets, and household documentation — the operating system behind a peaceful home.

Inside an Audelle Home
The details that make a house feel like home.

The Audelle App
One place for the rhythm of home.
After placement, the Audelle app helps families and household professionals stay aligned. It organizes household roles, calendars, weekly menus, groceries, vendors, recurring reminders, maintenance tasks, and household notes in one private dashboard.

Less time managing the house.
More time nurturing the home.
Audelle exists because parents should not have to spend their evenings managing laundry piles, grocery lists, forgotten filters, vendor calls, camp forms, school calendars, and endless household tasks.
We help restore order behind the scenes so families can focus on what matters most: marriage, children, faith, relationships, rest, and being present at home.
In Their Words
What a well-run home feels like.
Sunday evenings used to be about bracing for Monday. Now they feel quiet again.
Audelle designed the systems and found the right people. Our household finally has a rhythm.
It is like having a Chief of Staff for our family. Discreet, thoughtful, and completely trusted.

Common Questions
Where most conversations begin.
Is Audelle a nanny agency?
No — Audelle is a private household operations company. We can support nanny searches when they fit into a broader household plan, but we are not a placement-only agency.
Can we start with only systems and not staffing?
Yes. Many families begin with the Household Operating System Setup alone. It often reduces the amount of staffing needed later.
How is our privacy protected?
Discretion is core to our practice. Client identities and household details are never shared, and every professional we work with signs confidentiality expectations.
