The TOP brand was established over a decade ago with a vision to deliver exceptional recruitment within specialist domestic and household environments. Initially rooted in childcare and education, the brand quickly became known for its discerning approach, high standards, and personalised service.
Founder and owner Chandelle brought a fresh, direct perspective to the industry—one that resonated strongly with high-level individuals seeking trusted professionals for their homes. Her hands-on approach and commitment to quality rapidly positioned the business as a respected leader, serving both South African and international clients. At the time, the company operated under service-specific brands including Top Au Pairs, Nannies, Tutors, and PAs, always maintaining an open and adaptable structure to meet diverse household needs.
As demand grew, it became clear that discerning families were seeking more than role-specific recruitment—they required a trusted partner capable of sourcing exceptional professionalism.

Very happy and impressed with the service of Chandelle and Top Elite Household Staff.
One telephone conversation, a briefing over the phone and that was that! The CV’s came pouring in. Chandelle is probably the most efficient person I have ever worked with. When she says she will call you, she calls you. When she says she will email you, she emails you. And when she says she will send you CV’s and references, they arrive.
Chandelle is always “on”. She works Saturdays, Sundays, Public Holidays, day and night. I never feel like I am bothering her and I actually feel like I have made a friend in the process. I have hired two full time tutors through her and have just hired a housekeeper as well.
Chandelle is quick, efficient, on top of her game and really takes her business very seriously. She aims to please. I have never felt like just a client with her or just a number. She is so personable. Not only have I recommended her to my friends but I will not think of looking anywhere else for an agency. She interviews all her candidates personally and checks them out thoroughly. I have been more than happy with the service I have received and I am sure you will be too.
