Laura Munday

A highly intuitive and discreet Private Household Manager with over 13 years of experience supporting private families in London. I have worked at close quarters with people navigating some of the most demanding and sensitive moments of their lives - doing so with steadiness, discretion, and care. My current principal is a global CEO, and the trust that position requires has been central to how I approach everything I do.

I bring a fine art background, a curatorial eye, and a born and bred Londoner's instinctive knowledge of this city. I have moved within HNW circles personally as well as professionally, allowing me to traverse those environments without being fazed by them. I work best where my contribution is felt rather than managed.

Private Household Manager at Private Family (2017-01 – Present)

A long-term role that evolved from broader household and family support into a position of deep trust - spanning home management, personal support, and the navigation of complex and sensitive circumstances across two households.

• Domestic anchor for a global CEO and C-suite executive across two households, maintaining smooth and discreet operations through significant professional and personal transitions
• Prepared daily nutritional meals and managed grocery sourcing and household supplies to a consistently high standard.
• Sourced art, furniture, and design objects - researching thoroughly and filtering against trends to balance aesthetic expectations with sound investment.
• Planned and executed intimate dinner parties, social gatherings, children's parties, and family events - each delivered without adding to the principal's mental load.
• Calm, steady, and discreet presence through periods of significant personal complexity - sensitive information held with absolute professionalism.
• Managed deliveries, contractor visits, and household logistics as trusted point of contact - issues resolved before they reached the principal.
• Consistent presence in the lives of the family's children from ages 3 to 15, adapting naturally from early childhood through adolescence.
• Led a full property search for the principal's first independent home purchase - attending viewings, liaising with estate agents, advising on offers, and identifying missing certifications post-purchase to protect the principal's legal position. Family now settled in the home.
• Ran contractor point across renovation projects, including stepping into a live interior design project following the sudden incapacitation of the lead designer - completed on the principal's terms.
• Managed two full household moves with no disruption to the principal's daily or professional life.
• Delivered full home education during Covid-19, maintaining continuity of learning and routine throughout.
• Managed the sensitive transition of a shared family home into a personal sanctuary following a relationship breakdown.
• Trusted informally across the wider circles of both principals - welcomed into homes and with children, including those with additional needs.

Private Housekeeper & Cook at Private Family (2013-01 – 2017-12)

• Managed all daily household operations including cooking, scheduling, school runs, holiday supervision, and household supplies - the home functioning smoothly.
• Developed from a support role into a trusted household manager over four years, driven by the family's confidence rather than a formal process.
