Our Story

Hello! I’m Sophia Greenhouse Weiss, the founder of Househeld. I created this firm to set a new standard in household staffing that seamlessly blends tradition with innovation.

Having grown up immersed in my family’s business, a premier household staffing agency, I spent my formative years learning firsthand what it takes to build lasting, trusted relationships between families and the professionals who support them.

After earning a B.A. in International Affairs and Anthropology from George Washington University, I began my career at the Council on Foreign Relations, where I helped manage relationships with major donors and board members. This experience strengthened my ability to navigate the expectations of ultra-high-net-worth clients. These skills proved invaluable when I returned to private staffing.

In 2014, I joined one of the nation’s leading domestic staffing agencies, where I ultimately served as Director. Known for my transparency, meticulous attention to detail, and commitment to excellence, I built a track record of long-lasting placements and helped drive innovation across the firm. Over the years, I witnessed firsthand how traditional staffing practices often fell short of meeting the evolving needs of modern families and the staff they hire. I saw an opportunity to create something different, an approach that honors the personal nature of this work while embracing technology to make the process more thoughtful, efficient, and transparent.

That vision inspired me to launch Househeld. At Househeld, we believe the most successful placements begin with genuine relationships, deep listening, and an understanding that no two households or candidates are alike. My goal has always been to challenge the status quo by replacing outdated methods with a refined, technology-driven experience that brings clarity, ease, and confidence to every search.

Househeld combines a high-touch, bespoke service with a dedicated technology platform that streamlines the process without ever losing the human connection that makes this work so meaningful. From secure digital profiles and transparent workflows to responsive communication and tailored support, our modern tools are designed to enhance rather than replace the personal attention each search deserves.

Househeld is more than a staffing firm. It is a trusted partner you can rely on to deliver professionalism, thoughtful guidance, and an experience shaped by care and precision at every step. Whether you are seeking an exceptional role or the perfect addition to your household team, we are here to guide you with dedication and warmth.
