We had a positive experience with the babysitter we booked via the Grapevine Placement Agency…read moreduring a weekend getaway in Yountville, and would recommend this agency! Grapevine was one of two nanny agencies recommended to us by our hotel. Their online booking experience was easy and I found their rates more reasonable than the other nanny agency our hotel recommended. (I reached out to both and quickly compared all-in pricing.) The babysitter we were assigned, Rima, arrived on time and kept us updated on how things were going. She brought games and activities for my 7 year old daughter based on her interests, which I appreciated. The only thing that was a bit challenging is that we had to communicate with our babysitter via the Telegram app, which was new and different for me. I would have preferred WhatsApp or simple texting instead. Overall, I was happy with Grapevine and would recommend them to anyone looking for at-hotel childcare while in wine country with their children.

I felt comfortable with Grapevine from our first call. They were communicative and reassuring. We were visiting Napa for a wedding weekend. Monica was great with our 2 year old, who can be a handful. She went above & beyond and helped around the house also. I would use grapevine time & time again. I wish we had a service like this at home. Thank you so much for being great with my child!

Their customer service is excellent and they are so efficient and easy to work with. Best of all, the nannies and babysitters on their roster are all so warm, professional and well-qualified. Most of them have worked in schools or daycare settings and they are all background checked through the agency. It really brings us great peace of mind to work with Rent-a-Parent and takes all the stress and hassle out of finding a date night sitter or backup childcare.

I was a CNS nanny for about a year and a half, while studying at De Anza college, and it was one of the most comfortable, most professional companies I have ever had the pleasure of working with! They allowed me to set my schedule every week based on MY availability! (crazy right!) They gave me the option of working regularly with the same families, become a tutor or babysit for date nights; I chose all of the above. I was able to work with so many different children, parents, throughout the Bay Area. The CNS staff was always super attentive and made sure I felt comfortable in any new home I was going to be visiting. 100/100 would recommend CNS!

I reached out to therm ahead of time to confirm availability and ensure no issues. Given the assurance that there would be no issues. Then two consecutive last minute child care fails! So frustrating. To make things worse I have been waiting for nearly two months for my FULL refund. I have reached out numerous times. They held my money for over a month and now we're are here at nearly two months and I am still awaiting for the rest of my refund to be processed. I wanted to love this service and give them my business as I believe that particularly with their nanny cab option they are providing a much needed service in the Sacramento area. However they are failing horribly on delivering!!!! Such a disappointment. Honestly I am uncertain how this organization is still in business with their horrible incompetencies, deplorable business practices and a horrible lack of customer service/customer focus. Clearly the owner does not understand that the families they are hoping to serve need dependable child care, a company that says what they say they are going to do, and that these families do not have time to track or beg for their money back when this service fails to deliver at the last minute. Steer clear!!

Mind you that was just the month of March! When I tried to reach Lydia the first time it took her over an hour to get back to me and the second time she was out of town with no service but never followed up with me either. We had to look for a more reliable nanny else where. With the high application fee and extra expensives I would not recommend this agency. The first time we had a schedule conflict Lydia did credit my account $30 which was fair. But this last time I missed 5 hours of work and did not even receive an apology from Lydia.
