Welcome to the home of the:

International Association for Private Service Professionals (IAPSP)

Workers in the domestic services industry have an extensive history of providing essential services in isolated environments and are often misunderstood for choosing a “lifestyle career” in commission - a core element of estate jobs.  Nonetheless, in 2011 these workers remain the necessary backbone for their employers to more deeply nurture their families, pursue successful careers, manage focused lifestyles and become advocates for the human spirit throughout the world.

Our membership represents an influential segment of this workforce that is characterized by its values, including dignity, respect, health, responsibility, confidence, right-action, compassion and community.  These private service professionals include household staff such as domestic estate managers, butlers, household managers, personal assistants, executive housekeepers, management couples, private chefs, executive protection specialists, nanny managers, property caretakers, lifestyle assistants and more.

The IAPSP helps these individuals to establish and maintain successful careers.  If you are one of these private service professionals, we'd love to hear how we can support you, and we encourage you to stay connected with us by This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
