BEWARE!!!!!!!!!!!!! If you end up using Michelle, it will ruin all other agencies for you…read more I am a professional career nanny. I have over seven years of nannying experience, five years of teaching experience, and more. I have a B/S in childhood development as well as my MAT. When I began my search for a nanny-family in LA, I did my due diligence by shopping around looking at multiple agencies. I found that Michelle had the TOP RATED AGENCY ON MULTIPLE SITES and wanted to take a closer look. I read through every. single. review. I thought to myself, "Really? Every single person had a positive experience with this agency? That's just not statistically possible if she's really working with this many people..." I decided to set up a meeting. I drove to her office where we met to discuss particulars (what I'm looking for, what families are in the market for a nanny right now, what ages/salary/commute/hours I'm looking for) and the moment she opened the door and greeted me with a giant smile and her upbeat, positive attitude, I felt like just working with HER was my perfect placement! Once we started the process, Michelle was completely professional while also refreshingly honest and realistic in her suggestions. She really took the time to get to know me and what I was looking for and she only suggested me to families that she knew had the potential to be a "love match!" After looking at a few potential matches, Michelle called me to tell me that she had "found my family!" She said, "This is the one. Please go for an interview and see for yourself." So I did. This is the part of the review where I'm going to get annoyingly emotional. Not only did the family and I immediately "click," but Michelle had made sure that all of our stats were in alignment. The age range, schedule, amount of hours, commuting time, pay rate, expectations and needs happened to all align with what I was looking for. It was LITERALLY the PERFECT PLACEMENT!!!! Coincidence? I think not. Michelle is highly intelligent, professional, personable, understanding, diligent, experienced, communicative, and pleasantly charismatic and I owe my job satisfaction directly to her. Now that I think about it, maybe I should send over a bottle of wine. Thank you, Michelle, for just being so incredibly good at what you do. As I mentioned earlier, when I started this process, I read through every one of your (5 star) reviews and thought, "There's just no way every single review can be five stars..." and now here I am adding one more.

I met Michelle at a time when I was at a low point in my nanny career and personal life. I had…read morebeen looking for top nanny position and had been on many interviews through other agencies. It seemed like I had landed a few dream jobs only for it to slip away from me. Really trying times. Then I met Michelle! This brings a smile to my face. Meeting with her felt like chatting with a friend. I realized after that this is her skill. She loves people and wants to represent both the families and the nannies. It was a slow period and she didn't have any job opportunities at the time when I signed up with her agency, the perfect placement. After being on the hunt for my top nanny job with a kind family for many months and it wasn't happening I was getting ready to move out of state. I mentioned to Michelle that I'm no longer looking for a position as it doesn't seem like it's going to happen. Michelle didn't give up on me. She called me with 2 opportunities. I went on both interviews and was called back to do a trial for the one that I wanted !! Yay !! Then Michelle negotiated some time off that I needed to take care of a health issue. The family was so wonderful they waited for me ! All I can say everything lined up perfectly. Michelle will always return your call in a timely manner and she always checks in to see how you're doing. I thank God I met Michelle !

She was warm, professional, proactive and a true advocate for me and my talent. She carefully selected high-quality roles for me to review and went above and beyond throughout the entire process.

Months into my new position, she was still checking in, which showed a level of professionalism, class and care that is incredibly rare. Most people I know never hear from recruiters again after they start a new job, but Alexa has truly raised the bar! Thank you, Alexa and team!

Ultimate Staffing (Culver City) has been the only recruiting agency in town that has been…read morecommunicative with me. Trust me, I've tried a few, and most of them are just glorified job boards. The market has changed so much in 2024-2025 that procedures have changed with agencies, now being less involved with applicants searching for jobs.However, Ultimate Staffing is a different story! Sam - my recruiter - has been great at communicating; he is always keeping tabs with me on potential job opportunities on a weekly basis. Frankly, the biggest challenge Sam has to deal with is the current ever-changing climate of the 'wants and needs' of employers. In the past, it seemed it was much easier and quicker to find applicants jobs. But in 2025, finding assignments for temp work is a less swift process. Thankfully, Sam is pretty upfront about how things work in today's market, so I really appreciate this honesty and transparency. The best thing about the Ultimate Staffing recruiters is their coaching sessions. My one-on-ones with Sam before interviews has been very helpful with his insight and advice. Final Thoughts: My advice for any recent unemployed folks is that they should sign up to an agency like Ultimate Staffing ASAP! Do not wait until the last minute when their benefits runs out. Depending on the season, it may take a few weeks or even months to find work. Keep that mind!

What I learned is that Robert Half and all these big nationwide recruiting firms are hiring recruiters with no experience straight out of college. These big companies like Robert Half are also filling roles all over the country, so they don't have a database of local candidates as big as the local recruiting firms that only fill local roles. Don't use Robert Half. Use a recruiting company that only fills local roles and hires experienced recruiters.
