I had a great experience when I first went through this agency. I felt like Ashley and the team were absolutely wonderful. You could read my review on how wonderful my experience first was on their other review page: https://www.yelp.com/biz/the-nanny-league-beverly-hills?rr=1
It was a truly wonderful intake experience!
After 4 months, the family I had relocated 9 hours away for suddenly ended services. There was no discussion of anything going wrong and shortly before the end, had found out potential reasons as to how they most likely couldn't afford services anymore. It felt as though they were looking for a way out.
At the first head, I contacted the agency addressing the situation quickly and they acted like they understood my side. As soon as things officially ended, whatever the family said to them, made me appear like I had done the worst thing imaginable.
I have glowing references, have never had an issue with a family before or since, but Ashley did not help me with finding a new position, nor gave me the opportunity to talk about the situation again. I felt powerless and especially having had uprooted my whole life for this family, did not expect to experience an agency that did not support the nanny on top of that. I also should have gotten 2 weeks pay because due to the lack of proper reasoning for the treatment I received.
It has been a year and I have since tried to reach out for potential families, applying, but I either get no response or, just like last week, an almost immediate email saying "The family has gone with another candidate," only to see the post on the website and up on their emails and social media, still very much active and seeking.
It's disappointing to write this, as I had hoped the agency would have handled the situation with more integrity, ensuring I was heard, understanding the full picture, and helping me secure another placement. Nannies deserve protection. If a family can no longer afford services, that's understandable, but the way this unfolded left me in an incredibly disempowering position.
If anyone is seeking an extremely qualified nanny with 15+ years' experience, newborns to 16-year-olds, private jet, UHNW, and fully staffed home, homeschooling, neurodivergent, behavior therapy and more experience, feel free to reach out!
It's unfortunate when an agency holds so much power over a nanny's ability to connect with families. I share this to help others avoid a similar experience and to encourage seeking agencies that genuinely advocate for their nannies. It's in challenging moments that true colors show, and I must say, I am surprised, The Nanny League. read more
