Not Nanny friendly, horrible communication.. they leave you in the dark when they don't need you anymore. No updates, very unprofessional

Ivy Lane helped my husband and me find a PERFECT fit for our live-in nanny position. As you can imagine, finding someone to take care of your child is a hard task, but having that same person also be a roommate is an added layer of difficulty. Mari and her team spent countless hours working with us to ensure we found the best possible pool of candidates. Additionally, whenever I needed advice or guidance, Mari was there to help. We found someone who we truly adore to help with us with our most precious blessing and we are forever grateful to Ivy Lane for making that possible. read more

We are extremely happy with our experience with Ivy Lane! We were looking for a personal assistant who could manage many different roles with skill and caring. Mari and Jelyn listened to what we needed, gave helpful advice when asked, sent us top notch candidates, handled and arranged interviews smoothly, and then were very helpful and patient when the process on our end took much longer than we anticipated. Their fees for all they did were very reasonable. I would recommend Ivy Lane without hesitation. read more

Mari, and her entire team at Ivy Lane staffing have been absolutely incredible! I am a long time educator turned nanny who was looking for a wonderful family to join. Mari was responsive, gave me great feedback, and worked tirelessly to line up interviews until we found the perfect family whose philosophies matched my own. I have interviewed with several other nannying agencies in the Los Angeles area and by far I feel that Mari and her team have out shined them all. From the nanny's perspective I can say this process was streamlined and much more straightforward than any other agency I've looked into. Mari makes you feel like a priority it's clear her team has spent time perfecting their craft in this ever changing industry. I am so excited I have been paired with a great family and would highly recommend Ivy Lane staffing to both families and Nannie's alike. Thank you Mari! read more

My husband and I are over the moon with our nanny! Ivy Lane has been such a life saver during what seemed like such a daunting and arduous nanny search. We've used other agencies in the past and were pretty underwhelmed until we connected with Mari. We decided to stick with Ivy Lane for many reasons, they took the time to really listen to our needs and requirements, they were kind and professional throughout, and the caliber of nannies that we interviewed. The founder has been very communicative, professional, detailed, and would check in throughout the entire process- even when we would forget to share our updates (mommy brain!). Most importantly our daughter loves our nanny so so much and that really should speak wonders. We are so grateful and couldn't be happier! I've referred Ivy Lane to all the my mommy friends and a few of them have already started working with Mari! read more

Working with Ivy Lane staffing was an amazing experience. Mari is fantastic. She is professional and knowledgeable and takes great care in understanding her clients needs. As a Exec. Housekeeper with a degree in Culinary, I was looking to work for a family with specific needs that could benefit from my qualifications and skill set. Mari found the perfect connection for me and the family is very sweet and kind. If you are looking your perfect person or family, this agency will most definitely come through for you. read more

If I could give more stars I would. As a career nanny I have signed up with several agencies and few have been as professional as Ivy Lane. They thoroughly investigated my background and contacted all of my references, who in turn said they had great conversations with the agency. Ivy Lane has also been letting me know where I stand with families during the interview process and I have never been ghosted after they submit my profile to a family. That means a lot to me. Ivy Lane has placed me with a wonderful family, so it's clear their matchmaking skills are on par as well. I feel confident that my career is in safe hands and I'm looking forward to serving many more families through Ivy Lane. read more

My wife and I just recently moved to LA, and were desperately in need of a nanny for our 3 school aged girls. Both my wife and I are business owners and have extremely busy schedules. We decided to go the agency route and interviewed nannies from several agencies but felt like they didn't really listen to our needs or requirements. One of our friends recommended we connect with Mari. Not only was she professional, she answered all our questions, and even after a very long call with us, she remained very patient and sweet. Most importantly our girls love their new nanny. If you are looking to work with an agency who is going to listen to your needs, provide you with strong resumes, and support you through the entire process, you found yourself at the right spot! read more

Mari helped us find both a nanny and a personal assistant. She quickly introduced us to several excellent candidates, was patient with our hiring process, and provided smart advice along the way.

If I could give more than 5 stars I would!! My experience with Mari has been nothing but positive. From the first moment of contact there has been open communication.

Mari is remarkable, communicative and has the well being of the client and domestic service professional at interest.

Dealing with this Agency was a delight. They understood precisely my needs and criteria and sent me a few very carefully cherry-picked candidates, each of whom was well-qualified for the position. And, importantly, this was all accomplished within a very short period of time. I am delighted with my final choice. I would have no problem whatever in recommending IVY LANE STAFFING to anyone seeking to hire, nor would I myself ever wish to retain any other agency in the future. read more

I felt my work was truly valued on both sides & they really looked out for me. I can't say anything bad since my experience was so memorable. So happy thanks Ivy Lane Staff!!!

This agency posts the same job openings over and over. The founder doesn't follow through with clients.

Very polite, well organized and professional. Reasonable pricing and exceptionally useful service for finding child care.
