After some mixed results trying to hire from the various marketplace sites with our older child, we decided to try out Bay Super Nannies. Becky was amazing, listened to all of our must-haves and nice-to-haves and sent us three highly qualified candidate profiles the same day, all of whom would have been good fits for us. She also gave us some really helpful resources and walked us through the interview and contract process in a way that worked for us. We hired a candidate we felt great about within the week. The low upfront cost of the process is really reassuring and the overall cost is very reasonable - you don't just get access to the network, you get a lot of support throughout the process too. I would recommend Bay Super Nannies!

We had a fantastic experience with Nannies Plus earlier this year. After over a month of searching…read morefor and interviewing nannies and nanny shares on neighborhood, care, and local parent sites, we still hadn't found a good childcare situation for our 14-month-old on the eve of my beginning a new job. Desperate, we decided to bite the bullet and pay for a nanny placement service. We reached out to Nannies Plus after being referred by a neighbor. Joy was a pleasure to work with. She explained the entire process over the phone and during the in-home visit. We also appreciated that Nannies Plus handled background checks, confirming CPR certification, etc. She set our expectations in the event it could take months to find a good match (we were only looking for part time). However, I think it was within the week, Joy had two good candidates for us. We interviewed both over the next couple of weekends and felt that either could have been a good fit. Joy's analysis of their respective strengths seemed spot on to us. We ended up having a nanny within 2-3 weeks. Joy coordinated between the nanny and us until we signed the contract, and even recommended a payroll company, with which we've been pleased. We had such a great experience in our nanny hunt once we engaged Nannies Plus and we've had much better peace of mind leaving our child in the care of someone we know has been thoroughly vetted.

I cannot say enough good things about this agency and Robin. She has been such an incredible person…read moreto work with and has made such a positive difference in my experience finding nanny work. From the very beginning, Robin has been kind, professional, responsive, and genuinely supportive. What stands out to me most is that she actually takes the time to get to understand what you're looking for, and find opportunities that are a good fit rather than simply trying to place you anywhere. She listens to your preferences, your experience, your goals, and what is important to you when it comes to finding the right family. I have worked with other people and organizations where finding work can feel very impersonal, but that has never been my experience with Robin. She makes you feel like she actually cares about how things work out for you. She has been incredibly helpful throughout the entire process, and I always feel comfortable reaching out when I have questions or need guidance. Her communication is wonderful, and she has consistently been quick to respond, helpful, and reassuring. I also really appreciate how much she advocates for the nannies she works with. It is clear that she wants both the families and the nannies to have a positive experience, and she puts real effort into making sure the positions are a good match. That makes such a huge difference when you are looking for work that is not only financially worthwhile, but also somewhere you can feel comfortable, respected, and valued. The opportunities this agency has helped me find have been such a blessing, and I am genuinely grateful for the work Robin has put into helping me. She has helped make the process of finding nanny positions feel much less stressful and has given me confidence in knowing that I have someone knowledgeable and supportive in my corner. Robin is truly one of those people who goes above and beyond what you would expect. She is compassionate, reliable, hardworking, and incredibly good at what she does. You can tell that she takes pride in her work and genuinely wants the people she works with to succeed. If you are a nanny looking for work, I would wholeheartedly recommend them and I feel very lucky to have found a who has been so supportive throughout my journey. Thank you, Robin, for everything you do and for all of the opportunities and support you have given me. I truly appreciate you

We had a very disappointing experience with this nanny agency. The business practices felt…read moreextremely unprofessional from the start -- we were never asked to sign a clear agreement outlining fees, guarantees, or policies before the search began. Terms discussed verbally (including a 6-month guarantee and a placement fee equivalent to 6 weeks of the nanny's pay) did not match the contract posted online, which stated no guarantees/refunds and a different fee structure for part-time placements. Communication was rushed and disorganized, consisting mostly of hastily written emails with little clarity around timelines, process, or next steps. Candidate quality was also highly questionable and often far outside the criteria we provided. One candidate was a no-show to the interview and had full voicemail/email inboxes with extremely poor communication. Another lived 1.5 hours away each direction in traffic, making the role unrealistic. Another openly described wanting "something easy" after being out of work and had no meaningful nanny experience. Out of four candidates, only one was a strong fit. When I raised concerns about inconsistencies between the verbal terms and the online contract, instead of discussing it professionally over the phone as requested, the agency responded with multiple hostile emails accusing me of trying to take advantage of them. I also noticed that many of the agency's positive reviews appear to be written by nannies rather than families who actually paid for placement services, which in hindsight feels somewhat misleading. Ultimately, we found an excellent nanny ourselves through Facebook groups. For the $6k+ fee, the experience was simply not worth the stress and lack of professionalism.

When I called, I was just trying to explain what I need--- and then the person hung up on me.

I asked for info on licensing and this Jennifer proceeded to say rudely - "Are interrupting me because I won't be able to help you." This is after I told her someone just hanged up on me. My observation is that they do not like to answer phones. It is absolutely baffling how these people are getting state funding and partnership but has lack of professionalism. Also, this Jennifer connected me to a phone extension of someone who was out on vacation since March. The voice mail said the person is returning on April 3 but it is almost May. I don't know if this Jennifer is trying to make a joke. Since I am not exactly sure if the person is still working there. I called again and then I was yet connected to another voice mail.

I'm so excited to be starting with an amazing family, and I couldn't be more grateful for their guidance throughout the process. From start to finish, the entire experience took about a month, including interviews with both Amy and prospective families. Every step was organized, transparent, and thoughtfully managed.

Hiring Lacy was probably the best decision my husband and I made when planning our fourth…read moretrimester! As first time parents, it's scary coming home and taking care of a crying baby throughout the night. It was amazing having Lacy there with us twice a week for the first six weeks. Yes, the nights she came enabled us to get solid chunks of sleep to get us through the next few days -- but beyond that, she helped us establish a night time routine that we continue to use months later. She also answered questions and helped us tackle new baby issues -- such as when my baby refused to have full feeds, but would prefer to snack throughout the day. Plus it was awesome to have Lacy kindly correct us when we just didn't know certain things such as why our child refused a bottle (it was because it was in the fridge and the milk was too cold) or simply that our house was too cold and we needed to dress him in an extra layer. To be honest, a night nanny originally felt too expensive - but I would do it again in an instant. I feel like Lacy helped get my husband and me off to a healthy routine and helped set up our child to sleep consistently throughout the night (with just a few quick night feeds) during his first few months. I feel like everything she taught us has helped us get more sleep than any other new parent I know.

Lacy was also very reassuring and comforting with my wife during the beginning of sleep training, which was a very stressful time for us.
