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!

Genuine Nannies is truly exceptional at what they do. Their approach to matchmaking is thoughtful…read moreand intentional--they understand that each nanny has unique skills, and not every nanny fits every family. Amy and Marie take the time to ensure real alignment, and they never submit a candidate unless there's genuine compatibility. They represent one of the strongest portfolios of nannies in the Bay Area, and their work is driven by both passion and compassion--something rare even compared to top corporate recruiters. I'm now working with two wonderful families through Genuine Nannies and feel honored to be part of the homes they carefully matched me with. Highly recommend for Nannies and for Families.

Either the candidates weren't experienced, didn't show up for interviews, or just weren't the right fit for our family. Working with Veena changed everything. She really took the time to understand what we needed--not just someone with experience, but someone warm, reliable, and familiar with Indian culture and food. Within days, she sent us a few great candidates, and one of them turned out to be the perfect match. Our new nanny has been with us for a few months now, and she's amazing with our kids--calm, loving, and very dependable. Veena made the whole process feel easy and professional. If you're feeling overwhelmed or tired of searching on your own, I highly recommend reaching out to her. She truly knows what she's doing, and you can tell she cares.

We explained that we didn't have the space to accommodate another adult in our apartment and she said that we could move our oldest child to the living room couch and her nanny would sleep with the two little boys and that it was common and would actually be a good thing. WTH? Still, she sent us 2 Nannie's that had been told by her that they would be housed with us. The whole thing felt shady, so we asked for a refund...then she got truly nasty. She refused, accused us of making her work for free, and made some very rude comments about my husband not being able to afford an extra bedroom or larger house in San Francisc. $450, no nanny, and she blocked us from the app that she would call us from. A complete scam, rude, and total waste of time.

She didn't just rush us through a questionnaire - she listened carefully and asked thoughtful questions to truly get what would work for our unique situation. The candidates she found for us were outstanding, head and shoulders above the typical people we found ourselves. Each person was thoroughly vetted, professional, and perfectly aligned with what we were looking for. It was honestly hard to pick between the final three candidates, all of whom were outstanding. Shea helped us make informed and wise decisions at key moments, providing guidance when we needed it most. Her expertise was invaluable! We are thrilled to have worked with Shea and would strongly recommend her to anyone looking for a top-flight nanny.

We were so grateful to have Jian Ayi (also known has Gong Ayi in Cantonese) during the first month…read moreof bringing our second child home. She provided the utmost care to our newborn and clearly had extensive experience with babies. She was so helpful taking care of our baby at night and during the day she always took initiative to clean/wash the baby and help the baby with positioning/movements to help with gas movement since our baby was very gassy. She also cooked delicious Cantonese-style meals and soups daily and kept our kitchen very clean. In addition, she was great with our toddler who loved to follow her around to see what she was up to throughout the day. Throughout our time with her, Jian Ayi was extremely professional, provided advice but was never pushy, and was easy to get along with even with my limited Chinese language skills and my husband not speaking Chinese. I highly recommend Jian Ayi for anyone looking for a caring and professional confinement nanny!

The initial steps to working with them were seem-less and thorough. The search and interview phase was detailed and efficient. They even placed me with a temporary nanny while i searched for the right fit long term nanny. The care after words was 5 start and they are extremely receptive to feedback. Having two ladies that totally understand what it's like to work a lot and also be an involved parent looking for great care for your kids - priceless. I'm so grateful for what they did for my family and will never ever use another nanny agency again.

Now as a toddler, she loves to tell us about her friends and teachers there. Jasmine and the team are very warm, experienced and communicative, and all the kids look delighted to see them each day at dropoff.

We feel incredibly fortunate to have had our daughter attend Apple Tree for a short but very…read moreimpactful six months before we moved out of San Francisco. It was, without a doubt, one of the best decisions we made for her early development and happiness. From day one, we had complete confidence in Jasmine and her dedicated team. They made a thoughtful effort to ensure our daughter felt welcome during her transition into daycare--bringing her favorite toys (baby dolls) to her at drop-off to help soothe her. By the third day, she was no longer crying at drop-off and quickly began looking forward to going to school. She regularly talks about her amazing teachers--Chloe, Toni, and Ruby--and all the friends she made in her classroom. One standout example of Apple Tree's incredible attention to detail: during her very first week, they surprised us by celebrating her 2nd birthday with a cake and singing, even though she was brand new. She was absolutely beaming in the photos they shared with us. The classroom activities were varied, thoughtful and based on monthly themes. We loved receiving weekly photo updates that showed all the fun and educational things she was doing. It was clear she was thriving in this environment. A unique and helpful perk of Apple Tree is the monthly Parent's Day--offering full-day weekend drop-in care. This gave us valuable time to recharge, knowing she was in a safe and familiar space where she was happy and well-cared for. We also really appreciated the flexibility Apple Tree provided with our variable weekly schedule, allowing for earlier drop-offs when needed. Since starting at Apple Tree, our daughter's confidence and independence have blossomed. The school gently encouraged her to do things on her own--like putting on her jacket and shoes--which built her self-esteem. We started potty training over spring break, and thanks to the attentive support from her teachers, she was fully potty trained within a month. There are so many more positive things we could say about Apple Tree. We are deeply grateful for the nurturing and joyful community they created, and we feel so lucky our daughter was a part of it, even for a short time. If you're considering enrolling your child here and have any hesitations, let this review be the encouragement you need--Apple Tree is truly a gem.
