About Nadine

How it works

Most of the work happens online. This is how an engagement runs from the first call.

  1. A private conversation

    A video call with you or your representative about the household, the occasion and the standard you expect.

  2. A remote assessment

    A guided video walk-through of the residence or yacht, or a written brief for an occasion.

  3. A written plan

    Scope, timeline, deliverables and fees, agreed in writing before any work begins.

  4. The work, online

    Training, plans and supplier negotiations run by video, phone and email, with a short written update each week.

  5. Present when it matters

    Nadine travels for the day of an occasion or the first week of a new team, as agreed in the plan.
