I have been a Seaside Nanny for over 6 years and can't rave enough about this agency! Dara, the owner has connected me with some amazing families that really have been some of the most generous people I have had the pleasure of working for. I have worked full time with 2 different Seaside families, relocating to Puerto Rico for a year with one family and happily growing with the current family. I have also had the pleasure to work part time and short-term with a couple others. From a nanny perspective, Dara gets some of the greatest clients and really matches you with the right fit. She handles all of the communication and interview scheduling which can be stressful. Her being the liaison allows the nanny and family to build a personal relationship while she handles the professional details. From a clients perspective, Dara personally meets with every candidate and has them undergo a thorough interview, background check and reference check. Only the most elite nannies (or other staff depending on the position) will become a Seaside Nanny, so families know they are getting the best! Dara has always fought for my rights as an employee and gotten me where I want to be before a contract is signed. Even during the brief times I wasn't working with Seaside, she always checked in to see how I was doing and really showed she cared. I value this agency so much, so when I find a nanny looking for new opportunities or a family seeking care, I relay them to Seaside whole heartedly! read more

In seeking a placement, I worked with Miaya and Dara. Miaya was extremely friendly, helpful, and encouraging during my intake process. Because I was applying to a unique placement, Dara took over my case and Dara is the absolute best. She is so caring and committed to her clients. She was extremely responsive and reassuring. Most of all I appreciated her realness! So much staffing and job application can feel so impersonal, but working with Dara made the process feel so much more human. Dara always told me exactly what she was thinking, never keeping me in the dark or using euphemistic corporate lingo. Would highly recommend working with Seaside to find a placement! read more

Don't bother reaching out to this company if you actually need help finding employment. I had sent my résumé over to somebody named Jessica and she pretty much told me that she couldn't help me and "best of luck." I replied and explained to her why I'm qualified to work as a nanny and the conversation just fell off and she never got back in touch with me. It was clearly obvious that she had no interest in helping me. I wouldn't bother reaching out to this company as they're obviously not well-equipped to help nor do they care. read more

My family and I recently took a trip to San Diego, and I called Seaside Staffing, hoping they could help me find a babysitter during our stay so that my husband and I could have some much-needed one-on-one time! Dara was so lovely and immediately said she had someone great in mind. The nanny they provided was wonderful, very experienced, and was able to handle my two rambunctious boys like a true pro! My husband and I were able to relax and enjoy a nice dinner out, knowing that our children were safe and having fun. I will definitely recommend this agency to any friends who live in the San Diego area and are looking for permanent or temporary help! read more

I am a nanny of 15 years and have never used an agency to find my families until this most recent job search. I reached out to Seaside and one other agency. I was surprised when the other agency didn't ask enough about what I was looking for. I don't even feel like they properly vetted me for the families safety. When speaking with Dara, her professionalism was immediately evident. She was easy to talk to yet very straight forward. I felt as though Dara had my best interest as well the families. I told her exactly what I was looking for as far as my rate and ideal schedule. She asked me questions about my parenting style and only sent me families that were compatible with their needs as well as personality. She is a master matchmaker. I am very happy with my new family. I will recommend Dara to anyone looking for a nanny, as well as Nannies looking for families. read more

I have been working as a Professional and Career Nanny for 10 years and being part of Seaside Staffing team for 5 years. I love what I do and I can say that Dara has encouraged and inspired me since I became part of her team. I remember the first time I got in contact with Dara, I was amazed how knowledgeable and realistic of the Nanny Market she was. During my interview, Dara told me her background in Child Development and Childcare. Her ability to connect with Nannies, who are part of her agency and her great communication skills are both truly superior. When I received emails from Seaside Nanny about job positions, it is always well written and extremely organized. I completely appreciate her professionalism. It has been 16 months since I got this amazing job position through Seaside Staffing. Dara has guided me through the process and I couldn't being happier about this amazing opportunity ! This family and I are a great match ! I am confident that she contribute not only for my Nanny career but for all Nanny community in San Diego. read more

Seaside Staffing is the #1 agency in California for three very specific (and important!) reasons, all of which put them over the top as the best place to turn for assistance in this stressful but vital process. 1) Seaside features top families and clients offering high-end opportunities! Online job listings simply can't compare to the ones that are available through the agency, and more specifically those online positions aren't vetted in the same way that Seaside does. When connected to a family for an interview, I always know it is a situation that is set up for success, rather than the coin-flip that can come when out on your own. 2) Attentiveness and attention to detail! Dara and Stacey put in the work and are always helpful and available; whether it be answering questions or helping sort though issues or simply offering guidance, that human touch and feeling of support are a big factor in finding the perfect gig (and keeping your sanity along the way!!!). 3) Going through Seaside can be a way of many jobs! Not just one! Working with Seaside is a way of guaranteeing to stay gainfully employed for years and years, because if the job you've been hired for ends, that one (or more) successful stint me will stand out to other Seaside client families. I do not plan on working with any other agencies, or seeking jobs myself, for the rest of my career...I will only go through them from now on because I know it is the best way of finding the perfect fit and achieving success. read more

They helped me get placed in a nanny job that I am so happy with for the past month that I've been working with them! Very professional and efficient people know how to work and Dara is the sweetest lady I've met! Recommend for all nannies searching for work! read more

A few months ago I was looking for a new nannying position for the summer and I came across Seaside Staffing My first thoughts were, "there is a more professional way to obtain a nanny job besides care.com. awesome!" Also, the fact that I was able to see, in detail, the job requirements, pay, schedule, location, and other important information right there, so I could make a better decision if I wanted to apply. After applying to a few jobs, on the job board, I got a follow up call right away with, the WONDERFUL owner of the company, Dara, she was so easy to talk to and helpful when it came to telling me what the nexts steps were and while giving me a pre-interview. She also, made it clear that I could call or email her about anything at any time, which I totally had to do many times. Dara got back to me right away and with the best advice. When I was feeling hopeless in finding a job she encouraged me and made me feel like I could take on the world. She truly cares about the people that she works with and what she does. With complete transparency, openness and willingness to help above and beyond. I am very grateful for all that Dara has helped me with. I now have a full-time job with a great family in La Jolla and couldn't be happier. I would encourage any nannies looking for a position to try Seaside Staffing, a company that can actively help you find that perfect fit, support you while finding it and continue to support you once you have obtained a position, with any other need you may have. You will be glad you gave it a chance, I tell all my friends! :) read more

From the very beginning, my experience with Seaside Staffing Company has been excellent. When I first contacted Georgia, she was prompt and encouraging. Her expertise in the field made it easy to relate with her as a nanny and her professionalism was assuring. I was also able to speak with the owner of the company, Dara, who I absolutely love. She told me about her years of experience in childcare and really connected with me. It's easy to see how much she cares for her nannies and clients as well. The whole process of working with this agency felt thorough and fluid and not once did I feel confused or alone. Organization and communication is always at 100%, keeping me informed and in the know. They value my needs and really consider what is the "right fit" for both their nannies and their families. Dara does not believe in online forms or shortcuts, which makes everything more personal. The position I attained through Seaside Staffing Company is with one of loveliest families I've worked for. I've been here for about 9 months now and created a wonderful relationship that I owe to this staffing agency. I can not thank the team at Seaside enough and I fully recommend them to both nannies and clients! read more

I have been a nanny for over fifteen years and I have had many interviews and worked for many families. When I was contacted by Georgia, she was professional, kind and personable. When she conducted the interview, she asked questions I would ask if I had children and again, she was professional and very personable. I felt comfortable knowing she had personal experience in the field and that is something important for parents to know. The company is a fantastic company that hires only the best of the best here in sunny San Diego. I would trust Georgia to find any family out there someone perfect who will fit their needs! read more

Seems this "company" is run by one person who never answers the phone and rarely responds to callers. Even the time given on the voicemail to leave a message will quickly cut you off, making it impossible for you to leave a legible message. Someone eventually calls you back every few days...frustrating when you are desperate to get domestic help :( read more

Dara was so amazing from beginning to end. From the perspective of a nanny, it was seamless. Her instincts and intuition were right on in my case, and really values her nannies, I felt like she was on my side really representing me. She quickly responds to emails and immediately responds to specific family inquiries. I am eternally grateful for the role Dara has played in my professional life. I have been with my new family for about 2 weeks and it is nothing short of an absolute perfect match. I'm thankful every day, truly. read more

First let me start by saying how much I love this company. I am a nanny, there is something very satisfying knowing that this team of women know what they are doing. They are the match makers between the family looking for the nanny and the help. I have many years of experience in the nanny industry, but they have more. They know how to match personality with needs, style of parenting matching with nanny's style. The best part of the entire process, I think is that experts go the the families home and get a sense of the family dynamics! This is genius to me. I've worked for Seaside for years and they always do a great job finding the right fit. I've been with my current family for years and I am so happy to recommend them to anyone. :) Thanks Dara and team!! read more

The Seaside Staffing Company is really as good as it gets when searching for a nanny position to fill. I spoke back and forth with Christine. The entire time we discussed the potential positions, she was prompt in responding to emails as well as with the brief conversation we had over the phone; she said she would call me at a particular time, and she called on the dot! She was very informative of the company, and clear in what would be required of me in the interview. I actually ended up taking a position before I had the chance to have the actual interview. I emailed her to tell her I would no longer be able to come to the interview, and she still responded and congratulated me and everything! Most companies I would have assumed would have simply disregarded the last email because I would no longer be of any help to their company. But instead, she was happy for me and welcomed me back to whenever I would need the opportunity from their company again. I would highly recommend this company to anyone looking for a nanny, or to a nanny who is looking for work. Their company is very organized, caring, and punctual. All these qualities are important especially when dealing with families. 5 stars for sure! Love this company! And just in case you wondered, no, I was not paid or anything to write this statement, I took the time to write it because they are that great! read more
