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!

They truly are an incredible team, balancing professionalism, efficiency, and genuine care every step of the way. I reached out to them when I knew my current position was coming to an end and was beginning the search for my next opportunity. After completing my paperwork and background checks, they quickly matched me with families that aligned with my experience and goals. I'm so excited to be starting with an amazing family, and I couldn't be more grateful for their guidance throughout the process. From start to finish, the entire experience took about a month, including interviews with both Amy and prospective families. Every step was organized, transparent, and thoughtfully managed. Amy and Marie were always available to answer questions, provide updates, and offer encouragement, making what could have been a stressful transition feel seamless. What truly sets them apart is their deep understanding of the household staffing industry and their commitment to both families and candidates. They don't simply fill positions--they take the time to build meaningful, lasting matches. Their thoughtful approach, attention to detail, and integrity reflect a strong business built on trust, relationships, and high standards. I'm incredibly thankful for the opportunity to work with Amy and Marie and would wholeheartedly recommend them to any family seeking exceptional household staff or any nanny looking for a position where they can truly thrive. Their dedication to creating successful, long-term placements is evident in everything they do. Thanks Marie and Amy for everything :) Debbie

Amy was AMAZING. Truly by far and away the best agency I've worked (and I've worked with many top…read morebay area agencies for various roles) - its not even close.

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.

Overall we are happy with the service and care we received. We would rate it more like 4 to 4.5…read morestars and would use Auntie Yang and the service again. The reason for less than 5 stars is related to communication, some misunderstandings early on, expectations that were not fully communicated, and time needed for both the nanny and us to compromise and adjust to each others schedule. The misunderstandings could be related to us needing to find someone quickly as we were having a very rough postpartum experience and not everything was communicated along with a language barrier. Lisa also happened to be on vacation in Asia at the time so the time zone difference was a challenge. Lisa did make an effort to get back to us quickly and communicate our needs to Auntie Yang. If you hire a Postpartum nanny, please understand there will be an adjustment period the first few days and a difference with how you want your baby cared for vs what the nanny has been doing for years. This is more related to cultural differences and practices. In the end Auntie Yang helped get us through a difficult time, truly loved and cared for our baby and in many way become a part of our family.

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.

What's also really important is that when the year is up and it's time to find a new au pair, Jodi also always connects us with good au pairs -- her suggestions have been our most successful matches (vs when we've just chosen off of profiles and interviews).
