Meet the Founders

From Trusted Support Staff to Trusted Matchmakers

The Hire Standard Co. was founded by Siobhan Barrington and Cristina Duarte, former nannies and personal assistants who now work professionally as project managers. With firsthand experience supporting high-performing individuals and families, we deeply understand what it takes to thrive in these roles—and how rare it is to find someone who truly fits.

We launched The Hire Standard Co. out of a shared belief: that having qualified, thoughtful, and intentional support staff is not just a luxury; it’s a necessity for those leading busy, complex lives. Our backgrounds bring a personal touch and a discerning eye to every placement, ensuring our clients receive the kind of support we once proudly delivered ourselves.

We don’t just understand the job—we’ve done the job. And now, we’re here to help you find the people who will do it exceptionally well.
