Bespoke Private Household Recruitment for UHNW Families and Individuals
Founder Bio
Amanda Cooper is the founder of Silks, a discreet private household staffing consultancy shaped by more than fifteen years of working closely with private clients and their homes.
Her career has been built not behind a desk, but within the private spaces where households truly operate, through personal consultations, home visits and long-term relationships with individuals and families for whom discretion, trust and continuity are paramount. This proximity has given Amanda a rare understanding of how high-functioning private households work in practice, including the nuances, the unspoken expectations and the importance of placing people who bring calm, confidence and ease into a home.
Amanda’s approach is deliberately personal. She works directly with every client and remains closely involved throughout each search, taking time to understand not only the structure of a household, but its culture, rhythm and standards. This depth of involvement allows Silks to curate placements with exceptional care, aligning skill, experience and temperament in a way that feels seamless rather than transactional.
Over the years, Amanda has supported clients with complex households, senior staffing requirements and a strong expectation of privacy. Many relationships have developed quietly over time, built on trust and discretion rather than visibility or scale. Clients often return to Silks because they value continuity, sensitivity and the reassurance of working with someone who understands their world without explanation.
Silks was founded to offer an alternative to volume-led recruitment, a more refined, founder-led service where fewer clients are supported at a higher level and where each placement is treated as a long-term relationship rather than a short-term solution.
At the heart of Amanda’s work is a belief that the right people shape the atmosphere of a home. Recruitment, when done properly, is not about filling roles, it is about creating ease, harmony and longevity within private life.
Silks reflects this philosophy entirely, discreet, curated and bespoke, with every search led personally, quietly and with absolute integrity.
