We have worked with Farah Care-a in multiple capacities over the years, including homeschooling support, after-school and camp care, babysitting, and most recently, home organization, and they have been consistently exceptional in every role. The caregivers have always been trustworthy, communicative, and genuinely easy to work with. One thing that stands out is how receptive they are to feedback. They actively ask how they can improve and whether there is anything more they can do to support our family. Even at the end of a long day, we are often met with, "Do you need me to do anything else before I head out?" That level of care and initiative is rare. Every day, I receive thoughtful behavior reports about the kids, and the caregivers do a fantastic job keeping our daughters on top of homework, schedules, and extracurricular activities. There is a wonderful balance of structure and warmth in the care they provide. What I appreciate most is that the caregivers clearly love what they do. Most days I come home to focused studying and organized routines, but every so often I'll walk in to find everyone, caregiver included, in the middle of a full-blown karaoke session or dressed head-to-toe as princesses. The caregivers somehow manage to embody the perfect "responsible but cool big sister" energy, which has made them absolutely beloved by our girls. I cannot recommend Farah Care-a highly enough. They have brought reliability, joy, flexibility, and genuine partnership into our home, and we are incredibly grateful for Farah and her team. read more

I was connected to Farah by a friend who had her babysit personally and I have been so happy with this service. It's so hard as parents to find an agency that you trust with your kids and this is one for me. The team is always responsive and has connected us with Grace who our 3 year old now calls her favorite person. read more

We have used this agency for over a year, and began to rely on it after our full time nanny unexpectedly quit. Most recently, we've relied on caregiver Katie for help for date nights and support with our toddler's bedtime when I had a weekend of solo parenting at 38 weeks pregnant, and again with extra help as backup when I was in labor. She is a bedtime whisperer! I especially have appreciated how Katie asks very detailed questions and always seeks extreme clarity in order to provide the best care. I also love how within minutes of her arrival, both of my kids have the giggles and hardly notice us leave the house!! Thanks Katie and Farah Care-a, you're lucky she's on your team!! read more

We have had the pleasure of Tristin and Ashley's care for our kiddos and we couldn't be happier to have found them through Farah! We appreciate how thorough the agency is with its requirements for who they hire and who are available to help with our childcare needs; they really have covered it all from safety, scheduling, and facilitating insurance and payroll for the caretakers. Getting started was a simple and swift process for us and we are so glad we inquired with Farah and her team! Tristin and Ashley have been warm and interactive with our kids immediately! Our kiddos enjoy arts n crafts, time outdoors, dance parties, imaginative play and so much more under their attentive care. Our kiddos love them and we are so fortunate to have such wonderful individuals who truly care about our babies! We would highly recommend this agency and Tristin and Ashley!! read more

We have had such a wonderful experience with Farah Care-a! Our friends referred us and we've felt taken care of since the start. They accommodated all of our needs and even managed to get nannies for last minute requests. Natasha has been so sweet and caring with our son. Taking him to the library and bringing over fun art activities. KK is a ray of sunshine and intuited our son's needs from the beginning, a true natural. Grace is always cheerful, nurturing and keeps our son busy. We feel fortunate to have such wonderful women care for our son and an agency we can rely on. read more

I've used Farah Care-a multiple times while visiting the Bay Area, and they have been nothing short of outstanding. They babysat my toddler on several occasions between the ages of 10 months and 26 months, and every sitter we've had has been exceptional. I'm often in a rush during handoff and end up giving very quick, minimal instructions. Despite that, each caregiver has handled everything beautifully--calm, confident, and incredibly capable. Their communication style is perfect: not too much, not too little. At the end of each booking, they provide a detailed report so I know exactly how my baby did, which offers so much peace of mind. The entire process--from booking to payment--is seamless and stress-free. Finding reliable child care while traveling is usually anxiety-inducing, but when I'm in the Bay Area, I know I never have to worry. Farah Care-a has become my go-to, and I can't recommend them highly enough. read more

I was looking for an agency that would offer good nanny services, I wasn't too sure about several of them but when I had a chat with Farah, she sold me on the quality of nannies she have had and what she offered. While we did have some misses, Farah was always prompt on addressing any issues and I would always get a really good nanny for my girls. While the nanny mainly work with our youngest, it's always great to have a nice nanny that talks to our older girl who's. I do have to for a shout out to Lira, Katherine, and Natasha. Hands down best of the best, super engaging, works on major milestones on my little one, and always helping during downtime. My little one started services around 6 months and she's over a year old. We will be continuing to use Farah as long as she continues to have amazing nannies! read more

We've worked with Farah and her nannies since October 2023, and we currently continue to use them (in May 2026), and we don't expect to stop until our kids are adults, hah! We've worked with at least 4 of the nannies in this agency, and we've been completely satisfied. Our kids *love* when we have a date night (which we try to schedule twice a month), because it means Farah time, and they love it so much. Farah's team are v easy to schedule and coordinate with; they follow instructions clearly and know how to take great, loving care of kids; they're responsive and always look for feedback to improve. Our kids are... a handful, and our son has food allergies, but Farah's team is always aware of and reflects that they understand and know how to watch out, modify foods, or handle emergency situations. It's been *so* so nice having Farah's team in our village, it takes so much stress of our backs... whether is a pre-planned date night, or a last minute emergency where we need care for a few hours, Farah's always helped us out. read more

We are so incredibly grateful for our nanny Anja! She is not only super sweet and kind, but also an amazing communicator who always keeps us informed and on the same page.

Farah Care-a - Holiday craft - Tutoring Centers Near Me

We moved to the Bay Area a few years ago, and have two amazing kids but ZERO community (to help with our kids of course). This is where Farah Care-a comes in. Amazing sitters. Always a backup plan. Always HIGH quality support. Our kids have loved every sitter. Katie. Adonis. Even Farah herself. 10 starts if I could. read more

Sourcing high quality care is difficult and I was intimidated by finding the right fit. My friends told me about Farah Care-A and I was so impressed! In less than a week they were able to match me with a consistent caregiver four times a week. My caregiver, Anja, is AMAZING. She's incredibly reliable, punctual, attentive, and has developed a deep bond with my baby. She's always open to feedback, reads a lot about infant development, and is FANTASTIC at logging all baby activities! I can't recommend her enough! read more

This agency has been excellent! Our kids are very high-energy, but our sitters have been amazing at getting to know them and keeping them safely occupied when we are away. The owner detailed her screening and safety process with me, and it was above and beyond. We've been very happy with their services, and our kids love their sitters. (Thank you Farah, Maddie, and Misha!) read more

Farah Care-A has been a lifesaver. We're first time parents and live hundreds of miles away from our family. Tristin has been amazing with our now three year old for weekly date nights. She even gets him to bed early without a struggle! I was especially impressed when we had a last minute gap in our childcare over the summer. Farah was able to coordinate a last minute sitter with less than 24 hr notice and was able to provide coverage for us for the next two weeks. Ari and Kelsey stepped in and very quickly connected with our son. They took him on outings to the playground kept him engaged while I worked from home. The sitters are very experienced, attentive, and caring. We are so grateful! read more

Farah Care-a has been such a great service for our family! We have a complicated recurring schedule each month of when we need care, and I never worry because I know Farah will have us covered. But, most of all, we love all the sitters, especially Katie. She always comes equipped with crafts, stickers, and something fun and new to entertain my kids, and they absolutely love her. She is the only sitter I've ever had that my kids (1.5 and 4) play with even while I'm in the house, and they so look forward to seeing her every week. She is the best!! read more

I cannot recommend this agency due to poor management and a lack of professionalism. Our experience was defined by uncertainty and bad communication. It took an unreasonable amount of time to find a placement, and once we did, the reliability was non-existent (tardiness and leaving the job site for lunch). One of the nanny also seemed frustrated that my toddler was crying due to separation anxiety he was experiencing. Most frustratingly, the owner showed no accountability or empathy when we raised these concerns. Save yourself the stress and look elsewhere. read more

We at Two Perfect Events had a great experience working with Farah Care-A. Their team was very professional, friendly, and easy to work with throughout the event. They did an excellent job watching over the children, keeping them engaged, entertained, and well cared for, which gave parents peace of mind and allowed everyone to fully enjoy the celebration. Farah Care-A is a wonderful addition to any event with children, and we highly recommend their services. read more

We started working with Farah Care-a when my daughter was 4 months old to help bridge the time before she could start daycare at 6 months. We had a great experience and now that my husband and I have decided we'd like to prioritize date nights, we're working with Farah again. Wendy was matched with us to watch our daughter. She came over for a meet and greet ahead of the first date night and we immediately could tell that she was a good fit. She engaged with our daughter, asked good questions, and helped us with the evening routine to learn what we do. On our first date night, Wendy was super communicative and very understanding when we made a mistake about the timing. We're looking forward to future date nights knowing we can enjoy ourselves and trust that Wendy has things covered at home. Farah and team are always very responsive and worked with us to find the right caregiver and schedule. read more

Farah has been with us since LO was 5-6mos old, and she and her team have been an integral part of our support and care team for the past 2 years. I appreciate Farah's thoughtful approach to care-giving, in aspects such as giving us a primary and backup caregiver so we know the person who's showing up, giving us access to background checks as appropriate, and being super professional in their communications so we always know what to expect. Thank you Farah and her team (Jaycee is our primary) for their tremendous support! read more

Farah came through for us with an excellent nanny while our daycare was closed. The nanny sent, Ashley, immediately connected with our son. He had a blast all week. The booking process was so easy- we will work with her again! Thank you, Farah! read more

We recently used Farah Care-a to find a sitter for an out-of-town wedding, and I could not recommend this agency more. Everything was professionally and thoughtfully handled, with detail and care, from the beginning to the end. Farah and her team made sure to really get to know us, as parents, and our family, as a whole, in order to match our children with the best caregiver. Our sitter was warm, responsible, communicative, and a pleasure to work with. Our kids loved their time with her, and had many positive things to tell us. Look no further if you want a responsible and trustworthy agency to take care of your family's needs! read more

I had a horrible experience with this agency. They don't even give you a phone number to call if there are issues or concerns, the only communication they do is through email, except for the initial interview. Expect to book 12 weeks at a time and cancellation fees. They also send you very brief descriptions of your child's caregiver, no photo or resume. I worked with other agencies where I was given a full professional bio first. Would not recommend. read more

I initially relied on the backup care service subsidized by my employer, but after too many no-shows and caregivers who clearly weren't used to working with kids, I was at my limit. When our nanny went on vacation and our backup care canceled last minute, I called Farah out of sheer desperation--and I'm so glad I did. Within 12 hours, she had an amazing nanny at our door who instantly bonded with our kids. The difference was night and day. Now, we use Farah's services all the time. Every nanny we've worked with has been phenomenal, but I have to give a special shoutout to Katie. She has made our mornings run so smoothly, our daughters absolutely love her, and she truly feels like an extension of our family. I honestly don't know how we'd function without her! Farah is incredibly proactive, her training and attention to detail are top-notch, and she's always reachable. If you're on the fence, don't even doubt it--just call her. You won't regret it. read more

We have been working with Farah and team now for almost two years. We've had the pleasure of working with several Nannie's for back up, but Jaycee has been our primary and she has been a wonderful addition to our family for our daughter. At first, we used Jaycee periodically as needed, mother's helper. Since October of 2024 she's been our full-time nanny. We are so grateful to Farah, Jaycee and team for the support we've received as working parents! read more

I emailed Farah Care-a a month before a family wedding hoping they'd be able to accommodate for baby sitting services for the wedding - not only did they respond quickly, they were extremely eager, making crafts for the kids that would relate back to the bride and groom. They even suggested different accommodations - recommending who they think is a best bet for the amount of kids we would have and on the day off didn't hear anything from them - they took care of everything and everything went smoothly! I almost thought we had no kids in the baby sitting room until at the end of the night I entered and saw the space with the remnants of kids pizza and drawings! Thank you so much Farah Care-a and will definitely be using your services again! read more

Farah Care-a is such a blessing for our familiy. We were looking for half-day nanny coverage for our infant, and it was so hard to source the right person. We spent so much time going through local Facebook groups and we could not find the right match. We should have talked to Farah from the start! She paired us with Anja - the perfect caregivier, and we've had a great experience. Anja is patient, punctual, experienced and her help has made such a difference for our family. If you need help, don't wait.. call Farah! read more

I cannot express the gratitude I have for Farah and her incredible team for taking care of my family for YEARS. Sophia is our main sitter and always shows up early, prepared and is constantly involved in helping our child's development progress. Nawaal and Farah are extremely responsive and support our needs whether it's a family emergency or just a date night they always find us quality ba sitters we trust with our little one. We have even had Ashlee as our cat sitter and she was constantly involved communication with us giving us updates while we were gone for an extended trip. Safe to say Farah and her team have become like family to us and we will never stop recommending them!!! read more

We love this service and use it both for regular afternoon nannying and for date nights. Our favorite nanny is Anja - she is patient, kind, conscientious and careful. She shows up every day with a new craft in hand and she is always eager to play with the kids. Our children love her so much and we do too. read more

What an amazing nanny service - from the moment we met Farah, we knew this was what we needed for our baby son. We have had a few different nannies and it's been a wonderful experience, particularly with Sophia, Jaycee, and Katie. They have all treated our son with such love and kindness that I have always felt comfortable leaving him with them at all times. Our son has a condition that requires casts then braces on his feet and every nanny has been great with managing this. The scheduling has been very flexible through a coordinator who even responds on the weekends. There is always a back up nanny in case the one who is scheduled cannot make it. Farah is always super responsive and kind whenever we have questions. The pricing is also very reasonable. I would highly highly recommend Farah Care-a!! read more

We are so grateful to have found Farah Care-A. We LOVE our nanny Sophia and more importantly our child has loved her from their first meeting. Farah's response time is insanely fast and all the caregivers we have worked with have been kind, smart and great with our child. Highly recommend Farah and her team if you are looking for one off date night care or full time nanny placement. read more

I used Farah Care-a's services for my wedding and they did an amazing job! We had over 20 little kids that needed to be taken care of during the wedding event and the team did an exceptional job at keeping them safe and entertained. It was a really last minute thing and they worked around our timeline seamlessly. Couldn't recommend enough! read more

We use Farrah Care-a for babysitting our two little kids, and we love the service. It's great for recurring appointments and for ad-hoc babysitting needs. Our regular babysitter Katie is very reliable, and most importantly our kids love her. They look forward to her visit every week! read more

Anja has been great with our kids. They always have a fun time with her, and she's always on time and easy to work with. We are grateful to have come across Farah Care-a when our prior childcare fell through. I will continue to use this service for the consistency of quality and availability they offer! read more

Have had an excellent experience with Farah Care-A, after more than a year of care. Special shoutout to Katie and Anja, who are absolutely wonderful! read more

Could not recommend more. All of Farah's caregivers have had a high bar of quality for our two littles, and especially impressed with Zaid who has taken such great care of our fur baby (dog)! read more

We've been working with Jaycee and Farah Care-a for almost a year now. I was a first time mom and it was hard to trust anyone - but everyone one we've met has been wonderful so far. We started using their services for here and there needs - now we use it for our full-time caregiving for our daughter. We love Jaycee! Kamyla is our secondary and while we've only recently started working with her, she's been wonderful. read more

I started to use Farah Care-a since September and it really blew my mind - I had 20+ nannies in the last three years due to our weird hours (weekday evenings). Sophia and Katie are really good at engaging with my three-year-old twins. They're able to handle both of them at the same time while I could really take a break. I also really like that we are provided with a primary and a secondary, so we won't end up with no help when either of them take a break. Well-being for everyone read more

Farah-care-a is the best! Whats so amazing here, is that with Farah-care-a you are getting the best and most trusted care for your kids. We searched everywhere to find trustworthy sitters and tutors, and there are so many shady and unreliable people out there. But with Farah-care-a, you are well taken care of. Everyone here is beyond professional and truly enjoys helping kids! After using Farah-care-a, I will never use any other service. If you truly care about your kids and want the best for them, then booking with Farah-care-a is a no brainer! read more

I worked with three other agencies to find weekend sitters before finding Farah Care-a, and I am so grateful to have finally found this incredible agency. It is clear that Farah deeply cares about her business. She puts her heart into the company and it shows! So many things set them apart from their competitors that I don't even know where to start. First off, they focus on finding a good fit for your family, and then work hard to schedule the same 1-2 sitters consistently so that you really get to know each other. Secondly, the communication is incredible. I had a lot of questions about background checks and Farah went above and beyond to respond to all my inquiries. They always get back to me quickly and also care about honoring their clients' privacy. Third, the caliber of the sitters is great. My main sitter is Sophia and she is well-educated, experienced with kids, and always punctual. She takes the time to learn the parenting style of her families so she can respond to the children in her care in a familiar and effective manner that honors each family's unique approach. Fourth, Farah Care-a makes it so easy in terms of logistics. They send calendar invites to you for anything you've scheduled so with a simple click you can keep track of what you've calendared. Payments are easy because you are sent an invoice so you don't have to worry about cash. Taxes etc. are taken care of through the agency so you don't have to spend time on bookkeeping. Their pricing is fair and competitive. Finally, Farah's team is always happy to go the extra mile, such as grabbing milk from the store on their way to your home and tidying up so the house always looks as good as - or better than - it did at the start of their shift. Farah has a budget for sitters to occasionally purchase items like craft supplies to help entertain the kids. And she has training sessions with her team multiple times a month to help everyone to keep growing in their skills. I am so grateful to Farah, Sophia, and the entire team at Farah Care-a! They are truly a top-notch agency. read more

As a first time dad, you can imagine the extreme hesitation with trusting really anyone (including family) to watch over your newborn baby when you're not around. Taking a leap of faith with this agency and the sitters who have since taken phenomenal care of our child has turned out to be one of the best decisions my wife and I have made thus far and I can't imagine looking anywhere else for childcare. Farah and the team have been wildly accommodating to meet our variable schedule and not once falling short of expectations. The sitters are top notch and I truly appreciate the rigorous training they must go through to be so considerate entering a new home with a unique set of rules/preferences/etc. as every new family has. They truly treat my child as one of their own and I can safely say we're in a much better place with them! Highly recommend to all new parents. read more

It's safe to say that Farah is my all-time favorite child-care provider in the Bay Area. She really takes the time to get to know her clients, their children, and accommodates special requests to make you comfortable. She took care of my little brother, and for the quality of care you're receiving she is well-priced (especially for the Bay Area). I definitely would recommend anyone to try her babysitting services! She's truly a one of a kind individual and incredibly trustworthy. read more
