Both Nanny & Families -…read more After careful consideration as I hate to disparage anyone, I decided to convey my experience.  I have over 20 years experience as a nanny and a caregiver with excellent references. I also have extensive professional corporate experience in executive positions.  My last charge was a year ago and I decided it was time to love another young one. I find great enjoyment in teaching children.  I contacted Madison after seeing a position I was very much peaked my interest.  The response from Madison was " You sound great and I would love to interview you! I am currently on leave and conducting all of my interviews via Skype or Facetime."  I responded that I did not use Skype (archaic type of video chat) and had an Android. However suggested we could do Facebook messenger as video chat or an initial telephone interview.  Madison responded with "FB messenger is definitely an option, let's do that!" And set a meeting time.  The meeting time came and went with no contact from Madison. I called and left her a VM as well as reached out via email with no response to our missed meeting. I wish I had read all the reviews prior to applying and wasting my valuable time. This is an issue with her. And while she continues to apologize and/or make excuses it appears this is ongoing for years.  In my experience this nanny serive will let down both the nanny and families with the lack of follow through, professionalism and consistent excuses as to why it failed (her previous responses) Hopefully in the future she will realize the value of others time.

Madison is an absolutely joy to work with! Finding a new nanny to care for your kids is a very…read morestressful process and she has come to our rescue on multiple occasions. Madison truly cares about finding the right fit for both the family and the nannies. We've worked with other nanny finding services but no one else has given the same care and compassion that Westside Nanny provided. She really took the time to understand our family dynamics and make suggestions on what qualities to look for in a nanny. We have a very busy family schedule and Madison made sure that she screened all the candidates and only recommended the quality people that she felt would be a good fit for our kids. Interviewing candidates can be so time consuming and stressful but Madison was able to give us the highest quality options for a nanny. Madison really considers the feelings of both the families and nannies and strives to find the perfect match. We are very fortunate to have worked with someone who has a passion for her business. We can't thank her enough for what she's done for us and we would highly recommend her to anyone seeking quality child care.

I contacted On Call Nanny to provide childcare for a client's corporate retreat. They were…read morefantastic to work with! Throughout the planning phase, they were quick to respond to my many emails/calls, and kept me updated as they filled the desired number of nanny spots needed for our size group. But the excellent service did not stop there. The individual nannies who were assigned to our group reached out to me before our event and kept in communication with me throughout the event. I will definitely call On Call Nanny (Seattle) the next time I need group childcare for an event in Seattle! Many thanks from Mattera Events!

I contacted Stefani to book a nanny with very short notice (basically the day before). She was…read morequick to reply and explained the process to me. She was even willing to work with me on some things I needed to be accommodated for. My experience with sitters / nannies in the area has been that they are very flaky. I have a 5 month old and have been trying to find him care since he was 3 months old, and he has had 3 nannies simply because they either were unreliable and I had to let them go or they just stopped showing up. Having a service like this saves the headache of having to constantly find a nanny or babysitter when one flakes on you. Ultimately, the price ends up offsetting the time I would be missing work anyway. We did not end up needing to use the service because my mom flew in to help out, but the customer service was great and I would recommend at least checking them out.

My daughter went to the Alderwood Boys and Girls for summer camp this year. I chose this based on…read morethe weekly cost, flexibility in cancellation, and location. Due to the lack of recent reviews, I didn't know what to expect. Overall, my daughter had a great experience! They were a little less structured than other summer camps (in activities) but she was still happy and I liked how flexible pickup and drop off times were (as long as we did not go over 10 hours). It worked well for both parent's schedule. Unfortunately, they couldn't offer any field trips this summer (at least when my daughter went from mid-July to mid-August). Would recommend.
