I am extremely grateful for the position he has helped put me in. He knows exactly how to displace my strengths on paper.

I've been working for Safe and Sound Nannies for almost three months I cannot tell you how happy I…read moream to be with the agency. I have been a nanny for a number of years and have previously found my jobs on Care.com and Sittercity.com but I was looking for something more professional. I have a bachelors degree in Psychology and have started my Master's program so I needed I really needed a job that would allow me to continue my educational goals. I desired the ability to have what most people would call a 'normal' job- I wanted the typical Monday- Friday 9am-5pm and that is exactly what I got! The interview process for the agency is a bit extensive- which if you look at it from a parenting aspect is GREAT. I had to take a personality test, provide education and employment background history and references. After my forms were filled out Ann (the director) contacted me to get a better understanding of what I was looking for and we proceeded with a working relationship from there. Ann explained that she tries to match families with a potential nanny that would be a good fit. It is important for applicants to realize that Ann may LOVE you and you may be highly qualified for a position- but that doesn't mean you are going to necessarily get a job. There needs to be a demand for a nanny (a family looking) in order for Ann to set you up with something. Every family that comes to the agency has different desires and expectations. In regards to other individuals writing reviews about 'age discrimination' the family can require that you have a set amount of experience with children before they let you be apart of their home. If you're only 21 years old and the family requires you to have 10 years of paid experience you're not going to get the job based on your PROFESSIONAL work history. Remember that an agency represents families- their requirements aren't just implemented by director, it is by the family looking to hire you. Personally, this experience has been wonderful for me. It took about a month for Ann to find a family that was a good fit for me. I was asked to come for an in person interview with Ann, followed by multiple interviews with family (phone, parents then I was introduced to the children). This agency takes their placement very seriously- if individuals are looking for a 'baby sitting' job this isn't the agency for you. This is a career building agency; families are letting you into their home to help their children grow. Be expected to sign a contract (terms of agreement & commitment) when you finally find the family you will be growing with. As I had mentioned previously, I have gone out searching for employment on my own and I have never had any issues with a family but it is great knowing that I have Ann there to represent me if anything goes wrong or I run across any issues in the future.

As a point of reference, I was the President for 8 years of one of the largest technical recruiting…read morecompanies in San Diego. I managed a team of over 150 people between sales, recruiting and our resources. If you don't want to read something like this direct quote, I would suggest looking for a better agency.... "Tired of listening to details about your personal life, I sent you (replacement nanny) the next day, August 21st." In my opinion, this woman, Ann, the owner of the company is incompetent at recruiting. My take away is that she is posting ad's for nannies, makes them take a personality test that she claims to have created (results were never produced so I can't even give a review of the test) and uses this talk of a test as a selling point. What doesn't make sense is that how can you make a match off of only one person's test results? This would be like eHarmony only making the guy or girl take the test right? I asked Ann if I should take the test. She told me she'd send a link, but never did. She also said it's graded on the nanny curve so the results probably wouldn't mean anything. (Whatever that means). Seems like a flawed concept. What Ann is missing is "listening" to the customer. She acts like she knows what's right for you--she tells you she knows what's right for you. (she didn't meet me in person, or meet the nanny in person before she sent her to interview. She didn't check her current references bc the current nanny asked her not to, and she didn't check any references or background check before she had me meet her. She was that confident...in what? The nannies verbal phone story? By the way, she's also giving pay-raises to these girls so of course if you're making $18/hr, $20/hr is going to sound enticing. I spent 2 hours discussing the job with and I put together a 5 page job description with details that Ann edited so she knew exactly what I was looking for. She insisted that she had very bad luck with girls in their 20's and suggested that I pursue someone older and more mature. Personally I thought someone younger would do better with the tech support I needed during the day when my daughter is in school all day. So the first candidate she submits is mid-20's but tells me she is ultra mature and has been doing PA work for the current family. She actually refers to her former family as "psycho" (see photo of Ann's words) and says she is looking for a new job because "they bought a Porsche instead of giving her a raise". I told her that sounds pretty entitled and she said they were working her to the bone. She also said they moved from Point Loma to Encinitas. I told her I was working on the same type of move and she said it wouldn't be an issue--it was the former family that was the problem. (this is all just a recruiter believing every word their candidate says) Regardless, the girl interviews well and I'm putting faith in this PhD so we move forward. After she signs the offer the girl tells me she forgot she a few days off next week for her birthday party in Arizona. Ok...not good. This is the most basic recruiter question that Ann should be asking and telling me bc I already waited 2 weeks for her to give notice. (as that turns out, it wasn't actually 3 days, it was 8 days) NICE. (the girl took off 46 hours during her first month on the job) I kept Ann aware of all of these things as they were happening....texts and emails. The nanny is 2 hours late day 1. Why? Because the former boss--who Ann refers to as "Psycho", went into labor and the girl claims to have slept there. The next day she's 2+ hours late bc she's taking the former families dog to the vet. I kept Ann aware of everything going on. Ann tells me that the girl is too immature and not focused on work. I didn't see a replacement candidate until Aug 22. Ann finally sends a lady that has had 8 nanny jobs in 10 years and 1 job in an office 8 years ago that she says in writing can start on Sept 1. I interview her/not qualified & she's not avail until after Sept 22 because the replacement nanny tells me in person that she needs to "find herself on a solo road trip". PASS I let the nanny go bc she simply not qualified for the job-- a complete lack of trust--she had the car seat in wrong, she signed my name on a check, she put meatballs on top of mashed potatoes with red sauce (yuck) While I'm waiting for Ann to send a 1/2 way qualified candidate for over a month biting my tongue with the current girl, I decide that took much has taken place and a heart to heart conversation has to take place with the current girl. The girl accepts no responsibility for anything and quits. I tell Ann that the two people she's sent as replacements aren't even close and not worth anywhere near $40,000/yr. I nicely wrote, if she doesn't want to work on the search, I'm ok with some type of refund. She responds back with, "don't ever call my office, contact my attorney, we have fulfilled our obligations"

My experience started off great with this company, then went downhill from there. Just like I read…read morein a previous review, everything seems great when you are first starting out just to bring you on board then from there it seems your opinion doesn't matter. When I first spoke with the hiring agent I explained what type of work I was willing to do and the only job I was not willing to do which was a call center type job. What's the first job I get thrown into? Yep, a call center job even though I specifically said those jobs are not for me. I went ahead and gave it a shot because my agent kept bringing it up. After just 2 days I realized that it was not the job for me. I called my agent, MARIA BALSEIRO, to let her know about my experience and that I no longer wanted to work at the call center. Her response was very unprofessional, I quote "oh so you would prefer to have no income at all, than to work at this place?", who says that? Then she went off judging my work ethic when she doesn't even know me. And if I do prefer to have no income over a call center job, that is my decision to make. I don't go to a hiring agency to be judged, they are there to help find you jobs that are a good fit for you. Maria said she would give me a call when something else popped up, and no surprise here, I never received another call nor email from her. A few weeks later a different person from the company called to check up on me, Denise, who I had a short pleasant talk with. I will not be going back to this company, and for anyone who does, I don't recommend Maria.
