Keenstead is domestic staffing and estate services, not drop-in cleaning. Dedicated housekeepers placed in private residences full-time or part-time. Hotel-grade standards, NDA protection, enhanced vetting, personality-matched placement, ongoing account oversight. The model is different — this is closer to butler/private household staff than to janitorial service.

Yes. Criminal background check, civil court records check, financial background check, credit check, four professional references verified, two personal references verified, psychometric assessment for honesty and discretion profile, social-media scan.
