British American Household Staffing (BAHS) is seeking a detail-oriented and highly professional Reference Coordinator to join our remote team. This role is central to the integrity of our placement process, and the right person will take genuine ownership of it.

We are seeking candidates with direct experience working in a private household — whether as a nanny, housekeeper, house manager, or a similar role. That firsthand understanding of the private service world is essential. You know what to listen for, how to frame a question, and how to read between the lines of what a reference is and isn’t saying.

This is a fully remote role designed for international candidates who are available to work US business hours. You will collaborate closely with our Placement Specialists and Talent Acquisition team, and you will be expected to communicate clearly, consistently, and professionally in written and spoken English.
