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.

I cannot speak highly enough of their services and the genuine care they put into connecting nannies with the right families. I had been searching for a new position for several weeks when I found Genuine Nannies. Unlike other experiences I've had, this agency immediately made me feel supported. They were diligent in verifying my background and references, which I know ensures they only represent high-caliber caregivers. The team took the time to truly listen to what I was looking for, ensuring that my skills and personality aligned with the family. They were incredibly professional, navigating the contract negotiations smoothly and providing me with peace of mind every step of the way. Because of their hard work, I am now in a role that I absolutely love. If you are a nanny looking for a professional, warm, and effective agency, I highly recommend Genuine Nannies, Amy and Marie are truly the best in the business. Best, Elsa.

Tiara at True Nannies has to be hands-down the best Placement Consultant in the Bay Area! My wife…read moreand I just moved here for work a few months ago with our 2 children. We tried finding a full-time nanny on Care but had no luck. It seemed as if we could only find college students or people looking for a "job". We were looking for a long-term, experienced, professional nanny to grow with our 3-year-old daughter and 6-month-old son. After giving up on our own search, we reached out to some friends in the area. A colleague of ours referred us to contact Tiara; she recently placed their nanny (whom they adore) with them and they highly recommended her. We were a little iffy about paying an agency to do the work for us, but we were both starting work soon and we desperately needed the help. Our iffy-ness was due to horrible experiences with other agencies in the past and a few questionable phone calls with other Bay Area agencies. But we were willing to give their recommendation a go. We couldn't be happier with our experience with True Nannies! Tiara is very knowledgeable about the nanny industry here in the Bay Area. She came to our home and advised us on the typical pricing for our area. She also informed us about nanny norms ("guaranteed hours", paid holidays, vacation time, etc). She basically taught us how we should treat our nanny as well in order to keep them happy and around long-term. This was all new to us because we used to have family help us with the kids. It was very much appreciated. In the end, Tiara presented us with 3 highly qualified nannies and we even had a hard time choosing! Not to mention, our standards were pretty high. We were somewhat demanding; we wanted a bilingual nanny with 5+ years of professional nanny experience who was willing to travel all over the world with us. And that's not it. We had lots of requirements because, again, we wanted this person to grow with our family! We were so impressed that she presented multiple nanny candidates. We loved each and every one of them! All in all, we absolutely LOVE our nanny! And we couldn't be happier with our overall experience with Tiara and her new business at True Nannies. Yes, she is new to the industry, but it is clear she has many years of experience working with children herself. Not to mention, her passion for her work is so admirable! It shines brightly, you can tell there are only genuine intentions with her. We recommend her to every person with children we know, and will continue to do so. We'll most definitely come back in the future if need be. Thank you so much Tiara! We are forever grateful!

My banker connected me with Stephanie of Hello Nanny and she then introduced me to her partner Marie. I knew early on that they would love this for us and they DID! The nanny they found for us is now part of the family. she's works VERY well with our Au Pair and between the both of them, our 4 kids are not just taken care of, but they are THRIVING and HAPPY. 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.

We hired a nanny, Mimi (also goes by Mary Beth) for one day per week. Over the course of just a few months, Mimi took multiple days off, was then absent for an extended period, and resigned abruptly via text message with zero notice, claiming she had an ongoing family emergency to tend to. After Mimi's resignation, the agency shared that she had expressed concerns about working with our family. I honestly took the feedback hard and it sent me to a dark place, as I didn't know this nanny I TRUSTED was judging me and my home so harshly when I'm just trying to do the best I can as a postpartum working mom. For what it's worth, much of the feedback seemed to be rooted in misunderstandings and in some cases, reflected basic responsibilities that were explicitly outlined in our nanny agreement. And none of those concerns had ever been raised directly despite months of her being sweet and warm to our faces. Again, I do not blame the agency. While I can't recommend our experience with this particular nanny, I can say that Rimma handled a very difficult situation with professionalism and compassion, which is why I'm choosing to leave the agency a five-star review. Rimma followed up with us thoughtfully and took our concerns seriously, and worked quickly to ensure we had a fantastic temporary nanny in place so our family wasn't left without childcare.

Where do I even start?! Happy Hippos DC, run by Iuliia, is the best place I have ever sent my child…read moreand probably ever will. If you are looking for a daycare where your child will feel at home, truly loved, and completely cared for, this is it. My daughter started here just after turning one, and now that she's approaching two, I can't even begin to explain how much Iuliia has positively influenced her life. My daughter has learned to share, clean up her toys, and listen to directions (she's still a toddler!). Most importantly, she has become kind and gentle with others. I truly believe that comes from the example Iuliia sets every single day. And my daughter is not the easiest child, she has very strong opinions about everything: how she sleeps, what she eats, playtime... everything. Iuliia accommodated all of her needs and made her feel completely at home. There was never a moment where I worried about her while she was there. Quite the opposite! I always knew she was having an amazing time playing with the other kids, doing crafts, and enjoying homemade organic meals like soups and oatmeal. The environment is another huge plus. The play areas, living room, nap spaces, bedrooms, and outdoor space are all incredibly clean and well cared for. That was very important to me, and it gave me peace of mind knowing she was in a healthy, safe space. Iuliia is also incredibly flexible and understanding. She was accommodating with schedule changes, makeup days after vacations, and even extra days when needed (with notice). When my daughter got very sick with a high fever during a trip and ended up in the hospital, Iuliia checked in on us every single day just out of genuine care and kindness. That meant so much to our family. If you are looking for a daycare that feels like home, is safe, clean, and above all filled with kindness, look no further than Happy Hippos DC.

I have seen her take in the smallest infant and watched them grow while in her care, because most families love her so much they don't want to leave. She took care of my daughter and she was always smiling when she would come home. She hardly wanted to leave, and once I had to wait until she was ready, because she wanted to keep playing. It was so cute! Yula helped the kids make so many projects, my daughter had a huge art wall with just projects from her daycare. It was my favorite thing to see everyday because I knew that she was learning to be creative, while also learning numbers, colors, patterns, and holiday traditions. Yula is fairly priced for everything that she includes. She makes food for the kids... And whatever is in the chicken soup must be magic, because my child always asked for it, and when I made chicken soup, it was never right! One day she even gave me some to take home because my kid ran up to me and said "Mama, I want soup!" And I had to tell Yula about how I couldn't recreate it, and if she would give me the recipe... She gave me an entire tub of soup instead. My child ate the whole container. She takes pictures and texts them to you, and you can bet you'll get some great photos of your kids in action, living their best lives. I can guarantee you, you'll get every cent worth from this program, and you will love to see your own children thrive with Yula. It's what I wish every program could be, and some try to say they are... Happy Hippos will be the absolute best decision you've ever made. (All the photos are from the program, except the art gallery, that one was taken in our home, after all the projects she brought home. So colorful and fun, knowing how special they were, we couldn't throw them away.)
