Seaside Nannies is the most "interested" agency in San Diego. NOT ONE other San Diego nanny agency makes the nannies get fingerprinted before they are sent over and none of the agency owners come to the house and have a personal face to face meeting with the families. Dara was the only one in which took time with me on the phone to answer all my questions, and actually pay attention to what I was saying. I being a new mom, you can bet your life, I am not too excited to go back to work to leave my baby with a nanny, but Dara assured me that not only were all my fears warranted and realistic, but she also made it clear that she totally understood where I was coming from! She sent over 3 nannies that were all so incredibly perfect I actually had a difficult time making a decision. So I took advantage of trialing with all of them. It took some time, but we did hire an incredible nanny from Seaside and had a positive experience. Maybe its because the agency owner has been a nanny for over 25 years, or maybe its her background but I can tell you that I felt so good about moving forward with this agency then any of the others in SD. And she actually did exactly what she said she was going to do. I would highly recommend this service to any of the families in San Diego looking for a wonderful agency that cares more about what they do and how its done than just the money they received in the transaction... Thanks Dara! read more

I am a highly experienced professional nanny who has lived in San Diego for almost 5 years now. In this time I have met with about 8 or 9 different nanny staffing agencies. Seaside Nannies is by far the best agency, which is why I have chosen to work exclusively with Dara. Upon meeting Dara I immediately liked her and knew I had finally met a superb agency to work with. Being a nanny herself, Dara has a unique perspective that the other nanny agencies just don't have. She understands completely not only what the families need in a childcare provider but also what we as nannies require for a happy full-filling job. Every agency meets with the nanny candidates, but Dara is the only one who actually takes the time to meet with every family in the comfort of their own home, thus ensuring a more solid personable experience. By doing this, Dara is matching families and nannies not only based on requirements and experience, but also on personality. Where most agencies run their business as just that, a business, Dara truly wants to see the nanny become part of the family and create a lasting relationship. I highly recommend Seaside Nannies to all qualified nannies seeking an agency. Not only will you find great employment, you'll also make a friend! read more

As a former teacher and nanny, when I began my search to find a family in San Diego I was a bit overwhelmed at first. There was an overabundance of search engines and websites guaranteeing a "perfect fit." However once I found Seaside Nannies, I knew I wouldn't have to look anywhere else. The owner of Seaside Nannies, Dara Green, takes the time to get to know both the family and the nannies to ensure that a perfect fit is created. I've been working for my new family for over a year and it has been an incredible experience. I've been able to use my background in teaching to help the children with their education and I've been able to travel with them to Maine, Utah, Disneyland and more. I've made memories with the family that I'll never forget. If you're looking for a nanny, I strongly recommend contacting Dara first. She takes the time to make sure all your needs are met and that she finds the perfect nanny for your family. If you are a nanny, someone who has experience and wants to make a long-term commitment, call Dara. She'll find you a family where you will experience new adventures and a loving environment. Ultimately, Seaside Nannies is a win-win for everyone! read more

I first contacted Dara, the owner of Seaside Nannies because of these Kudzu website recommendations. Her reviews were fabulous but she is actually that and much, much more in person. She eventually placed my current nanny, whom both my daughter and I absolutely adore. Dara had come to my home for the "family interview", a unique meeting with the family, that other agencies do not do, which helps her determine the right fit for both you and the nanny. I was already working, with a 5 month old and was at my wits end, as baby was not sleeping through the night. She took one look my predicament and gave me what I call a "Daraism"--words of wisdom by Dara. In a matter of three days my baby was sleeping through the night. I'm sure all you new moms are cheering right about now! She is professional, dedicated, energetic and very knowledgeable. She loves kids and takes time to listen and this translates to the stellar service she can provide for her clients. She goes above and beyond the services she outlines and I would definitely use her services again, although I hope I never have to as I love my nanny. read more

We feel extremely lucky to have found Dara and Seaside Nannies. After trying several other nanny search agencies with less than favorable results we searched the internet again and found the Seaside Nannies website. We called Dara and were immediately impressed by her knowledge, experience and comforting personality. Unlike other agencies where you feel like you are simply a number, Dara goes to great lengths to understand each families' unique needs and then matches those needs with perfect candidates. Dara actually came to our house to meet our family and to talk to us at length. After Dara's visit she immediately sent us four outstanding resumes. We interviewed all four candidates and found a perfect match. We love our new nanny and now consider her a part of our family. She has excellent credentials and is extremely reliable. We know we made the right choice by using Seaside Nannies and we are extremely thankful to Dara each day as we see our son react with excitement as our nanny arrives. read more

Seaside Nannies goes above and beyond the call of duty every time. Dara is one in a million and unlike any agency I have ever met. With the prospect of us relocating to San Diego from the UK, she was in constant contact with me regarding a move and finding a fantastic position with her. She knows all there is to know and amazingly meets every family before sending a nanny into their household.....which other agency really cares that much? Dara knows how it feels to not be an employee in a household but how to feel like another member of the family, she understands the worries of both a mother entrusting a child into someone else's care and a nanny taking on the responsibility of caring for somebody so precious. What other agency do you meet where the president has spent as many hours as yourself stuck up the top of a climbing frame not only caring for her own charge but keeping an eye on the rest of the playground!!!

Seaside Nannies is the only agency in San Diego that actually interviewed me in person. Not only did I interview with the owner, but I also was placed with the best family! I have been a nanny on the East Coast and upon relocating to San Diego, I contacted all the local nanny agencies and none of them got back to me except Dara. Once we met, I felt a lot more comfortable, knowing she has been a nanny herself as well as she has YEARS of hands on experience which made our interview that much more enjoyable! Also, one of the things I found very interesting when comparing the agencies, her families were paying a lot more per hour than the other agencies families. I highly recommend Seaside Nannies over all the other agencies in San Diego to help any nanny searching for the right family to contact Dara and try to get into her agency! read more

I just moved here from NY and signed up with Seaside and another 2 agencies. Dara was awesome. She met with me at her own home and took the time to get to know me and actually develop a relationship with me. I have been a nanny for over 10 years and going through the agencies in NY it was a completely different experience when I met with her. She is so knowledgeable in this subject it was a breath of fresh air talking with her! She knows "both sides" of the fence. She gets it as she has been a nanny and she also gets the families. I love that she meets with the families at their own home too, as it makes me feel better knowing what I am walking into before I get there! Anyway, she found me a family and I have been with them for about a month and they are just great! I would highly recommend this agency to everyone I meet! read more

I moved from Phoenix to San Diego with my Husband. I was very nervous for the move because my husband had received a job transfer and I was jobless. I had been a nanny in Phoenix; however my experience was less than perfect. I found Seaside Nannies during an internet search. I e-mailed Dara and received contact from her the next day. From the moment I spoke with Dara she made me feel at ease. I knew she was going to do everything she could to find me the perfect family. I have been with my family for a year now. I love them more than I could have ever imagined. They have welcomed me into their home with open arms. Because of Dara's support and guidance I get to wake up every morning excited about my day. Thank you Dara, for your hard work and dedication to your families and your nannies. You're Awesome! read more

This agency is the only agency I will work with from now on. I was very impressed with the amount of time she took to interview me.
