I am leaving a five star review because my interactions with Rimma have been great, so I do not want to hurt their business rating. 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. read more

We're so grateful to SPN for helping us out with temporary / short term childcare during the summers for our two children. We are especially grateful to Maggie, who was able to find a replacement nanny in less than 24 hours with some challenging circumstances that happened last minute with one of my kids! The nannies that we've had have all been very professional, kind and thoughtful. It's been such a pleasure to work with SPN and feel so supported to have them in our community. read more

Seven years after being placed by SPN, I'd like to write a new review because I am still so impressed with the team there. Maggie just spent 30 minutes on the phone with me answering questions and letting me pick her brain (it's a very good brain!). She's so articulate and experienced and I came away feeling supported and cared for and I received sage advice that I will feel safe implementing at work. It should be stated again that SPN are so good at what they do; they placed me with a wonderful family 7 years ago and I'm still there! Amazing, right? Thanks again Stanford Park! read more

We have been using SPN temporary services for over a year now for help with our now 2 yo twins, and are so grateful for them and helping us find our main nanny. We've had other temporary nannies come in through SPN and they've all been great. Rimma and Maggie's flexibility, responsiveness, and professionalism are amazing. Yes, using an agency is extra money but it is so worth it for peace of mind and quality childcare. read more

A friend of mine recently used Stanford Park Nannies to help him care for his 2 year old son. I have to say, he had an excellent experience using their services. I had the pleasure of meeting my friend's nanny when I came over for a few house visits. Shirley was his nanny's name and we just had the absolute best experience working with her. She was extremely attentive and caring towards my friend's little one and you could tell she had a lot of nanny experience. She even shared with us that she has a hobby of both writing and illustrating children's books! Super great experience! read more

I am beyond satisfied with Stanford park nannies. Great team, super organized, high professional and very caring. Stanford Park was incredible guiding me to a new job. They always made sure that I was happy and compatible with my matches. They guide me every step of the way and gave me a list of options to do the whole process, such as CPR, vaccines and etc. it was Very helpful! A big shout out to the Stanford park nanny team! read more

Our family worked with SPN to find a nanny in early 2022. SPN was able to present us with several highly qualified nanny candidates, and we were able to hire a nanny who has truly become part of our family. The hiring process was efficient and SPN remained communicative throughout. Beyond the process of hiring a full-time nanny, we have been very happy with the additional "post-hiring" support from SPN - including the opportunity to have a backup nanny (if our regular nanny is out) and helping us figure out nitty gritty details such as payroll, nanny contract, etc. We would highly recommend SPN to other families! read more

I spent a long amount of time filling out their online application and they ghosted me. After filling it out they emailed for a phone interview. I offered other times I could be available and never heard from them again. I even matched their price points. I don't have time to chase them down to give them $100 an hour. I guess they don't need the business. Ridiculous waste of time! read more

Searching for childcare is hard enough - I had tried multiple routes but was unsatisfied with the results. Finally, our pediatrician recommended Stanford Park Nannies (SPN), and what I learned convinced me to go with them. 1. they've been in business in the Bay area for at least a couple decades, establishing a strong network. 2. they focus only on nannies (rather than in-home chefs as well for instance), so they truly know nannies. 3. the nannies they work with are vetted and selected - only recommending nannies that have followed through on a multitude of background screening checks (the comprehensiveness of these checks are unbeatable and practically not reproducible if one was independently doing all these checks). 4. Maggie, who is the Placement Director at SPN, spent time understanding my needs and schedule (which was rather irregular), helped me to understand the market in the area, then filtering for nannies who could potentially work out, saving me a ton of wasted effort. And of note, I've spoken with 3 SPN employees, who have struck me as skillful communicators. The nannies SPN introduced me to were truly on a different level in terms of responsibility and professionalism than I had encountered previously through many other sources. We were really impressed with our chosen nanny, who has worked with out family for a year. All in our family really appreciate her, and our daughter adores her. Even so, times may come up for the employer/employee relationship that can be challenging to navigate especially for first-time parents, and Maggie at SPN was there for us - responding to our needs and ultimately playing an important role in helping to make the experience of having a nanny in our family a satisfying one for us all. I'd highly recommend SPN to any family searching for nanny care in the Bay area. read more

I contacted Stanford Park Nannies to hire a nanny and the person who responded to me was very strange. She had a question about the times we wanted a nanny. I then called her back. At first she blamed me for not calling her back soon enough. And then she said that she didn't have any nannies available for us - even though she didn't ask me for any details for a nanny.

Stanford Park Nannies is a powerhouse agency of incredible women who embody experience, passion, and heart for what they do. Daryl & Maggie are two of the friendliest and hardworking women I know. They take their jobs -- placing nannies into the homes of their client families -- very seriously. Their primary concern is and always will be making sure that both the family and the nanny feel it is a good match long term. In addition, the office staff is incredible -- Sarah especially! She proved that to me by responding almost immediately to an after-hours crisis I was having on her personal time. These women are all polite and eager to help in any way they can. From a nanny's perspective, I have time & time again been awed by Daryl & Maggie's thoroughness and care. They have been there for me from beginning to end: from walking me through the interview process, to helping me compare job offers from families, and even guiding / advising me years into my placement. Daryl & Maggie have truly been an invaluable resource to me as a nanny. Years later, I have now entered the corporate world but still accept on-call nanny jobs through Stanford Park Nannies during my evenings and on weekends. I have known and worked with them for 4+ years now and I hope to continue my relationship with them for years to come. If you are a family looking for a nanny, you couldn't have better people helping you with your search. If you are a nanny looking for a client family, I guarantee you that your experience with Stanford Park Nannies will be truly enjoyable. I feel lucky to know these women, and am grateful to have them in my corner. read more

We had the pleasure of working with SPN and with Rimma when we were looking for a nanny for my newborn. This was our second kid and we had toddler also at home due to daycare being closed down due to the COVID-19 pandemic. As you can imagine, not having a nanny was extremely stressful as managing two very small, dependent kids while also managing work was very hard for me and my partner. We had been looking for a nanny for few months on our own, found one who didn't turn out to be good fit and quit, and were exhausted. We had also tried using an agency (that was cheaper than SPN) but they were unable to find a nanny even after 5 months, stating COVID as the reason. When we reached out to Rimma and SPN, we were at our ropes' end. Rimma helped us get to well defined but not prescriptive job description for the nanny, worked along side us to guide us through the interview process, sent resumes that met our defined needs, arranged prompt interviews for candidates we liked and checked in on us to explore different options (such as temp nanny) as we navigated the full-time nanny search process with her. Rimma was on top of everything and very proactive with her nanny search for us as well as communication. My stress levels reduced so much just knowing that Rimma was constantly looking for a nanny for us. It took us couple of months to find the nanny after we had done trials with few of them but at each step Rimma was there with us and eventually helped us find a wonderful nanny within our budget despite COVID. We couldn't be happier with the service Rimma and her team provided. I loved working with Rimma as she made realistic promises and was prgamatic about what can and cannot be done in the timeframe we were looking at. This helped set the right expectations and reduced surprises along the way. She had a quick turnaround on all the paperwork when we decided to make an offer and the whole paperwork process was super easy and a breeze, thanks to Rimma and her team! I would highly recommend SPN and Rimma if you want to find a loving, reliable and safe nanny for your kids. She and her firm are amazing, and I couldn't be happier with the results. read more

I have worked for SPN for the past 14 years. My first experience with them was amazing they put me with a great family! The family they put me in was comfortable with me and I was comfortable with them. Daryl and Maggie were the ones to help me find this family I worked for this family for 13 years. Daryl and Maggie are amazing people! After 13 years Rimma helped me relocate to a new family. Rimma has great experience to relocate people to new families and I am really happy to be working for SPN since they have helped me out as a nanny! I give SPN five stars because they are a very professional, and amazing Agency for putting me with great families! They are amazing people! read more

We hired our full time nanny almost 4 years ago through SPN and couldn't be happier. The interview process was so streamlined because SPN took care of all screening and matching us with the right candidates. Daryl, one of the co-owners, personally helped us throughout our search. She continues to respond to my questions 4 years later to support complicated issues such as best practices for raises, market conditions for compensation, and traveling with nanny. SPN has by far the best nanny pool in the area, many of the nannies who have temped or interviewed with us only take placements through SPN. Recently we began using the SPN temp program and I couldn't be more impressed with the caliber of nannies sent to us. I consider my 2 boys under 3 years old to be a handful, but each temp nanny has immediately engaged both of them and had no trouble getting them down for naps, following their routine, and operating with little direction. They have run errands like grocery shopping, laundry, and even driving the kids. I have full faith SPN will only send impeccably qualified and screened temp nannies, which has not been my experience with care.com's work in-home coverage. Finally, we send our regular nanny to any SPN nanny workshop she is interested in. She has enjoyed this to further develop her skillset, and to make connections with other nannies. read more

We are going on two years (this August) with our nanny and couldn't be happier. I'm sure it's not easy selecting a nanny for many families but we hit the jackpot when Daryl introduced us to the first and only nanny we interviewed. She's amazing and was a perfect fit for our family. My sons adore her and we love her. She will be going on maternity leave soon and we were very concerned about finding a temp. I called and spoke with Maggie who almost immediately found us someone. She hasn't started yet and we only had a phone interview so far but she sounds great. I'll have to update this with our experience later. I know it's not easy to trust a stranger with your family and not every nanny will fit your family just right but I didn't have time filter through care.com any longer (terrible response time and mediocre options... at least when I was looking) and was referred to SPN by a friend. I trusted their experience and it was one of the best decisions we made. The fee is high but at this point our nanny was worth every penny! read more

Daryl at Stanford Park Nannies was helping us to find a full time nanny in summer 2013. We had a real bad experience overall. All the candidates she recommended were below average. We tried one of her candidates for a trial period and she was disinterested and was mean to my daughter. I overheard her yelling at my daughter on the first day. My daughter is 3 years old now and still remembers her unpleasant experience with her. This agency claims that they have the best nannies in the area. They put a good show but there is absolutely no substance in their work. Overall it was a waste of time and money to engage them. I don't recommend this agency to anyone who cares about the quality of the nanny. I ended up finding a wonderful and caring nanny through PAMP and my toddler and my baby love her. read more

We used SPN to find a night nurse for our new baby. I didn't realize how early you have to book baby nurses (4-6 months in advance!) so didn't start looking until about 2 months out. Daryl presented two candidates within a week and we hired one of them. We were thrilled with our baby nurse. She is knowledgable, confident, very gentle with our baby, and always on time. Which is exactly what her SPN references said. Our nurse also speaks highly of SPN, which is another vote of confidence for them as an agency. She says Daryl and staff are very thorough in checking references and tracking down every job she's worked on to find out how it went. We are going to use SPN to find a long-term nanny for our son. Yes, there are fees, but this is a critical decision. You will lose more in worry and lost productivity by trying to economize on this decision. read more

I'm really happy to be working with Stanford Park Nannies. I'm a nanny and I've been with their agency for a little over 6 months. I primarily work with Maggie, but all of the women who work at SPN are incredibly helpful and communicative. The initial interviewing process was thorough, they asked important questions, and really got to know me as a childcare provider. I felt a lot more at ease, after having interviewed with them, because I better understood what an asset working with an agency could be. There's such a warmth in every interaction and I feel very heard. They're a great sounding board, they help you manage your expectations, and they're really on top of things. It seems like they pay attention to both the client's needs and the nanny's needs and try to find a comfortable balance. As a nanny, I've worked for families outside of an agency and found that things like figuring out fair pricing, creating healthy boundaries, and generally knowing how things are typically done can get a little murky. If I had any concerns or tough conversations needed to be had, I would have a hard time knowing how to start the conversation and knowing what was and wasn't fair. SPN really provides you with a very current understanding of what should be expected of nannies and of employers and in a way they empower you by coaching you through it all. Having someone who understands how to present you and your strong suits to families, and who has really done their homework on you beforehand is really helpful. When I started to interview with families, they gave me great feedback and it felt like I had my own personal interviewing-cheerleaders! They reminded me to be patient and now I nanny for an awesome family and have more on-call nannying than I sometimes know what to do with. The relationship between nannies and the families they work with is a fairly intimate one and I think the fact that Stanford Park Nannies treats it as such is really honestly refreshing. I take my job very seriously and really care about the wellbeing of the children I work with. I love that SPN is just as invested in my position as I am. read more

I worked with four different nanny staffing agencies on two different occasions to identify a full-time nanny for my 8-month old son. I would rate Stanford Park Nannies very highly. +Great flow of very qualified candidates +All candidates were prepared to pay taxes (something we weren't able to find on candidates we surfaced through our own networks and through PAMP) +Great vetting process with thorough pre-interviewing, Trustline, private investigation, and detailed references +Had a good understanding of what we were seeking and did not waste our time with those that weren't a fit. In fact, after hearing feedback on one candidate interview, Daryl canceled the following candidate because she did not think the person would be a match based on feedback we were giving her. +Ability to quickly identify relevant interim/temp nannies as well As I was nearing the end of my search and trying to decide between two great candidates, I felt Daryl was a great partner in making the decision. Even though one of the candidates had come via another agency, she knew the nanny well and so was able to help me think through who would be the best personality fit with our family. I really felt like she wanted us to make the best choice for us and was not trying to sell me on her candidate in particular which would have garnered her a fee. In the end we did select the SP Nannies candidate, but she did not push us one way or the other. At the very end, she delighted us by giving us a discount. We had misfired on our previous nanny (not referred by SP Nannies) which had cost us quite a lot of money and in order to help alleviate some of that pain, she discounted our final bill. We were amazed and grateful for the extreme generosity. read more

I've used Stanford Park Nannies for long-term and temporary placements to care for my two children over many years. I have been completely impressed with every nanny they've sent and currently have a SPN nanny who was placed a year and a half ago who cares for my toddler. She is amazing, warm, careful, conscientious. Last weekend a new nanny came for four hours so that I could spend time with my eldest child. She was an incredibly intelligent, caring person. I have never seen my son more sad to see a nanny leave! He hugged her three times. He never does that. SPN always sends such wonderful people. Knowing that my children are in good hands makes makes my experience as a solo parent, working full-time, so much more manageable. read more

If you are looking for an agency to hire a professional & certified nanny, please don't engage with SPN. Not sure if you have noted all the reviews on yelp, most positive reviews are only from Nannies & not families. We had a good consultation with Maggie in what we were looking for in a nanny ( experienced in toddler care, certified, energetic). SPN does not really work on getting you the right fit for your requirements, they look for folks who are available to do the job when you need them. Providing a wrong fit for the family & not ensuring that it matches with your requirements can be very time consuming because you make the time to interview them & invest in trials where either the nanny is not interested or the nanny has not met the requirements. All nannies they sent to us were also on care.com so, if you have the time to search for a nanny in care.com, please don't waste your money:) Here are the 3 nanny trials we had, 1.The nanny that was presented to us had just moved from Seattle & she had no drivers license for CA, she was not interested in the job it still intervshe was also available on care.com to hire & barely had 3 years of childcare experience that to with some known families. When she came in for a trial, she did not say a word l, did not talk to my son, did not know any nursery rhymes & we wasted our time & money on this trial. 2. On another trial, nanny was good but was not a toddler/infant experienced & she wanted to discipline my son on day one & was not able to put him to sleep. My son cried so hard like he was loosing breadth which goes to show that the nanny did not know how to console him or take care of him while he was crying. She was yawning on day 2 of our trial & was completely laid back, had no energy whatsoever. 3. The third trial was epic, the nanny was an oncall nanny & had absolutely no experience in toddlers, could not bath, sing a nursery rhyme, did not know how to change diapers etc. or was not willing to, we ended up doing most of the work ourselves so it was really not a trial Our requirement was very simple but they were not able to find a good fit. We were presented with 8-9 candidates & we rejected most of them, it just goes to show how much the candidates fit into our requirements & the service that was provided to find the right fit in the right budget. I would have been happy if they would have told me upfront that they don't have any nannies that are certified, energetic or have toddler care specialization. So be aware that this is not the place to find the right fit for your family. Throughout the Maggie was very responsive & professional but did not have any quality candidates that she had promised to present. We ultimately found a good nanny through another agency within a week & with just one trial. My experience was bad with SPN & I want to make sure you are not wasting your time because kids are precious & we want them to be under professional care. read more

I reached out to three different agencies looking for a nanny, and found that SPN had the best rates and most thorough background checks. My situation is very unique (I needed someone to work full time but only for about six months). Maggie was so accommodating, prompt and helpful! She set up two interviews and I was beyond impressed with the nannies I met. We could have continued to interview, but my husband and I had a hard time deciding between the two we'd met, but ended up choosing someone who is absolutely the best caretaker I've ever met! If you're looking for a reasonable rate and high quality nannies, you definitely want to use SPN! read more

We worked with a number of agencies in the area and also looked independently for a nanny. I was really impressed with Daryl and how she ran the long-term placement business. Professional and efficient. She took a personalized approach and was direct and helpful in setting our expectations. She felt like a true partner to us, and seemed fair to the nannies as well. Even though we ended up going a different route (we found a nanny through referral) I would recommend them over other agencies. BTW, this review is for their long-term placement service (vs short-term temp help which has been middling) Hence the 4 stars. read more

I couldn't be more grateful to Maggie and Rimma and the Stanford Park Nannies nanny community for helping us fill a summer of gaps in childcare. I was initially impressed with the care and quality of communication Maggie brought to our early conversations, proactively calling to follow up and ask how interviews went or about our impressions after the first day of a nanny's care. When Maggie has been out, Rimma has seamlessly jumped in to move assignments forward. Due to illnesses and changes in schedules beyond anyone's control, they have connected us with three different nannies to fill gaps in care (in some cases for the very next day). Every nanny we have met has been beyond exceptional, connecting with our son shortly after arriving, supporting him in his play, and being a partner for him in his various interests. Needless to say, having a child early in the pandemic has made childcare a challenging part of our family's early years. I feel comfortable returning to work knowing we have an agency like Stanford Park Nannies to provide the consistent and consistently excellent childcare that requires. read more

I chose them based on feedback from my parents' club, where far more people complained about the other local agency than SPN. We were happy with our experience. However, I'm also not looking to economize on childcare and am uncomfortable choosing someone random off something like craigslist (sorry, but sourcing a nanny off somewhere where people are posting naked pics is just not for me.) Night Nannies: We used SPN to find a night nanny to help with our newborn. They sent us six candidates for interviews. One was a definite no, three were maybes, and two we thought were great. SPN gives you written references from interviews they do with past families, but I was wary of the potential spin, so I called several references for both of our top candidates myself. They were glowing. We hired one of the candidates and she worked out beautifully. She was totally knowledgeable and flexible. She listened to how we wanted to do things, but was also willing to offer advice and guidance on things that we, as new first-time parents, were a little wary of. She was instrumental in telling us when we needed to start increasing the amount of food our baby ate, when he needed to be swaddled, how to minimize spitting up, how to bathe him safely, etc. We use her sometimes for daytime hours still, since we liked her so much. Full-time day nannies: We also called SPN for a full-time nanny when I was getting ready to go back to work. Again, we received a number of what appeared on paper to be very qualified candidates. I would say there were 8-10 people we were willing to interview, and that was after sorting through to find people specifically with infant experience and a child-development background. We did not progress to interviewing, since I decided not to go back to work. Part-time Day Nannies: I also checked with them about part-time nannies, and there the choices were definitely much more limited (just a few candidates over the space of several weeks) and not as qualified. You're probably better off working through your network, though it doesn't hurt to try the agencies. As far as the fees, you pay an application fee to sign up. It's somewhere around $150-250. If you don't find a candidate that works for you, you don't pay anything else. If you do find someone, yes, it's expensive. It's like executive recruiting -- they get a cut, somewhere in the range of 10-20%, depending on the type of service and length of time you are engaging the nanny. However, for that, you get someone who is background checked, Trustline registered, CPR certified, and has a clean CA drivers' license. They also state what the fees are up front, so I'm unclear why someone would be shocked when they actually find a candidate. One other thing to be aware of is that you need to look for your nanny in advance in order to get the best candidates. If you do it last minute, your choices won't be as good. For the night nanny, plan on 4-6 months in advance (they book early) -- we nailed ours down by Thanksgiving for a March baby. For a daytime nanny, start about 2 months before you need someone. If you don't do this, I could see how you'd end up with slim pickings. read more

Daryl and Maggie deserve every 5 star review they earn themselves! I absolutely love working with SPN! They are prompt with their responses, helpful and understanding while giving/listening to feedback, and positive during the whole search process. I reached out to Stanford Park Nannies at the end of March after just moving to the Bay Area, and was immediately interviewed over the phone and in person. They allowed me to take my time looking for the right position, I interviewed with a decent number of families and even did a couple working trials. Daryl and Maggie appreciated everything I had to say about the interviews/trials and understood when I felt it wasn't the perfect match for me. I have recently found my dream family to work for and I have Daryl and Maggie to thank for this!! Their whole team is just professional and delightful. I look forward to representing them at my new job. read more

We are eternally grateful to them for helping us find our nanny. We decided a week before my wife went back to work that we wanted a nanny, and they found two wonderful candidates. We've had Grace for almost two years, and she has been a godsend. All our neighbors spontaneously tell us how wonderful and loving she is. Thanks so much, SPN! read more

If we could give SPN 100 stars, we would! There is 100% value in the services that SPN provides. Background: We originally went out on our own and through recommendations, hired a night nurse to care for our twins. The night before coming home from the hospital, the night nurse we had originally hired, flaked! We called SPN the next morning. Daryl was extremely responsive and thorough. She found us a night nurse within a few hours and we met with the nurse the next day. Our night nurse has been perfect! Lessons learned: 1. We didn't have to waste more of our time to hunt for a new night nurse. 2. All of SPN's night nurses/nannies and pre-screened and have undergone scrutinous background checks. 3. Daryl's innate sense for fitting nurses/nannies with families is a win-win. And yes, it is very hard to find great help, especially in the Bay Area and especially a night nurse for twins. Some might say that we are lucky. Some might say it's serendipitous. ---I say THANK YOU to Daryl and for Stanford Park Nannies! read more

I'm extremely upset with this agency. I'm current working and I will need to find another family soon since my boss will not work anymore. I never try to find a family trough an agency. This was the first time. After 3 weeks that I had my interview I finally call them to see if they will contact the current family that I'm working with because we will leave for a trip. I call them and ask for my situation they said that they would call me back. After 3 hours Meggie call me and she sad that they could not help me to find a job. She said that they called 2 references and one of them did not match with the Kids ages that I filled up the application and also the year that I started and that I finished. I try to ask her to help me to fix the dates. I'm almost sure that I put the wrong age of the kids that I used to take care 5 years ago. I try to explain to her that when I filled up the application I did not gave my best. I was in a hurry and the chances that I probably made the wrong math with the kids ages is HUGE. she did not accept ! She hang up the phone on me. She actually made me cry. She was extremely rude!!! She treated very bad just like if I was a lier or something like that. I do have prof. of all my jobs and I did not deserve to be treated like that!!! After 3 weeks of my interview???? Why she did not tell me before that they could not help me ???? I contact them ... She knew that was my first time looking for a job trought an agency. They suppose to explain to the candidate to be careful about the dates and ages. Honestly, I have been taking care of kids for 10 years. I was a teacher. We can make mistakes with dates and ages. I try to call her back to see if she could be more clear with me ... I said That it was probably a misunderstanding. Maybe the family that I used to work made a mistake ... she had 8 nannies during 16 years. Anyways, Meggie did not want to talk with me ...not even to apologize for being rude and making me cry They are probably very busy trying to find more families to pay their salaries then being kind and human!!!!! read more

As a first time mom, the nanny search was daunting. Thankfully Daryl made the entire process incredibly easy. From figuring out payroll to background checks to actually building the employee/employer relationship, she has been there every step of the way. For someone who has never done anything like this, I found all of SPN's services incredibly helpful and well worth the investment. read more

I found SPN to be extremely professional. I had an initial meeting with Daryl. She listened to what I was looking for in a nanny. They have a nice process for letting you know about possible candidates, they arrange the visits, and they support your decision process. I'm super picky about babysitters and Daryl very supportively sent candidate after candidate when I didn't find what I was looking for. In fact she called me from her vacation to talk through one candidate I was considering. I felt guilty that I was being so picky, but Daryl was right there with me every step, assuring me that we would find the right fit. The candidates they sent were experienced and highly recommended by previous employers, just not the exact personality I was looking for. Daryl was always reachable by phone and was kind and easy to talk to. She's a smart lady, very professional. Eventually we found a SPN who has been with us 18 months, we're very happy. Here's a testament to how professional Daryl is - the nanny we found had been working for a friend (who found originally her through SPN) so we didn't actually find her directly through the agency. So even though Daryl had been working with us for a month and we didn't end up paying the placement fee, she was genuinely happy for us and gracious and professional. I was impressed and grateful at how she handled our relationship start to finish. I trust her a lot, she's a class act and very smart. read more

My review for Stanford Park Nannies is from a nanny's perspective. My relationship with Stanford Park Nannies began in July 2016 when I submitted my application during my relocation from the east coast. Being new to the area, the assistance and guidance they provided was extremely helpful. From my initial phone interview, in-person interview, and every correspondence thereafter all staff members were consistently helpful, professional, and informative. Stanford Park Nannies care for both the nannies and families they represent and take the necessary time and go the extra mile for their clients. read more

The organization is so well run and the Nannies/Babysitters are ALL top notch! They always bend over backwards to help you find coverage! We have been a customer for at least 4 years and they never disappoint. read more

Stanford Park Nannies is a great nanny service! I would highly recommend it to any family looking for a nanny, and to any nanny looking for placement! read more

I have been working with this agency for 3 years and have always been impressed with their services, especially their customer service. I've met with the owners (Maggie & Daryl) on several different occasions and they always seemed down to earth, honest and sensitive to my family's needs. Over the past 3 years, the 3 different nannies we have hired through their agency have been absolutely wonderful for our family. I've always felt like their pool of candidates have been strong and trustworthy. read more

Absolutely wonderful people to work with. Daryl and Maggie are both warm and very compassionate. Almost 6 years ago they helped me find a perfect nanny job that I loved. Sadly my little man grew up to fast and I have to move on and once again these ladies gave me amazing options and great families to choose from. I start my new job on Monday and can't wait to see my 'new' little girl grow up into a amazing young lady. 10/10 for Stanford Park Nannies! read more

I used Stanford Park Nannies when I moved into the area last year. We were looking for a full time nanny to take care of our seven and three year old. At Stanford Park Nannies, I had a positive experience with the entire nanny hiring process from interviews to making an offer. I have medical issues and my son has some special needs. They were compassionate and understanding and easy to work with. I am super happy with the nanny I found and would use Stanford Park Nannies again. I'd happily suggest them to someone looking for a nanny agency as well. If there were room for improvement, I would wish for what my nanny agency did in seattle which was to give nannies and parents the same parenting style quiz and match nannies with families who had the same parenting style. I found that to be super helpful. My nanny is wonderful and I have Stanford Park Nannies to thank for her. read more

Poor ettiquites, Deryl the owner can be very rude when working with serious minded professionals. This may have just been my impression, to each their own. I encourage others applying to also check other agencies in the area as well. Best to everyones search:) read more

Had the best experience as a Nanny to trust these amazing women to look after my next job. Took less than a month to be in the right work place/home in the Peninsula Area. I highly recommend this Agency. read more

As a dad worried about all the costs associated with starting our family, I was highly skeptical about my wife's desire to engage SPN to find a nanny. Now, nearly two years later, we still have the same nanny (who simply rocks) and have to admit (again) my wife was right. Skimp on something other than finding the right person to care for your child. Not only did Daryl at SPN help us find the right nanny, she helped throughout the entire process. Moreover, Daryl more recently helped us understand industry norms concerning raises/benefits when our nanny was about to celebrate her one-year anniversary and we needed to renew the contract. I highly recommend engaging Daryl and SPN and feel the investment for doing so was well worth it. Mom, nanny, baby (now 2-year old) and dad couldn't be happier with the arrangement. Mark W. read more
