I think you can find such an individual. But if you want additional skillsets such as maintaining your batcave equipment, you may have to advertise in niche publications.

No self respecting butler will work for you unless you have a competent staff of footmen and maids, a corresponding housekeeper, and don’t forget the household livery.

You convinced your youngest brother to play act a footman.


If I may beg to disagree, PP clearly talked their little brother into playing the role of a parlour cum scullery maid. Footmen were mainly responsible for standing around looking fancy, passing dishes at dinner, and the occasional heavy lifting jobs.

Maybe Martin from the Parent Trap is available. He balanced household management, child oversight and personal friend very well.

Thank you for this thread. When my family asks what I want for Mother’s Day, I’ll ask DC1 to be my ladies maid, DC2 to be my footman, and DH to be my chauffeur. I’m not sure what I’ll do for a chef.
