TESTIMONIALS FROM PARENTS

(Testimonials from Nannies are further down the page.) 

November 1997

  Sue agreed to meet us at    our home that  evening.

KJC in Clayton, California

"Our family was introduced to The Nanny Network under critical conditions.  I am expecting our second child and encountered some serious complications that resulted in not being able to care for my 16 month old son.  Under doctors' orders we were advised to hire a nanny.  To make matters worse, it was Friday and we needed someone first thing Monday morning.  I explained my situation to Sue and she agreed to meet us at our home that evening.

"My husband and I were very impressed with her professionalism and her concern for her clients as well as her registered nanny candidates.  On such short notice she was able to provide us with several candidates and much to our surprise, we were able to employ a nanny for Monday morning.  The candidates she provided were qualified and willing to help us through our critical circumstances.  We feel extremely fortunate to have found the nanny we chose, not only because she was available under such short notice, but mostly because she was exactly what we needed to reassure us that our son was being cared for, loved and nurtured.

"I highly recommend The Nanny Network as a source for finding qualified, reliable and caring childcare providers.  Sue took into consideration the urgency of our situation as well as the concern we felt for our son, and matched us with an excellent choice for a nanny."

It was a real pleasure and relief to work with...you..

LS in Berkeley, California

"It was a real pleasure and relief to work with someone as efficient and pleasant as you.  I was prepared for a lot of stress in the search for a new nanny for my son.  To my surprise you took all of that away.   Your work ethics are so organized and thorough that I knew you also had been that way in your screening of candidates.

"I was particularly impressed that you took the time to meet me in my home to discuss my needs in a nanny.  And that you interview the prospective nannies in their homes, call all references and provide a detailed account of those calls, as well as provide numerous helpful handouts on all aspects of the nanny process.

"I was recommended to you by a friend of mine who has never steered me wrong, and this was no exception.

"In the past I have worked with a few other nanny agencies, and I can say with certainty that none of them can hold a candle to your company.  I would highly recommend you and your company."

....(we) can't express how wonderful you've been from day one...

DG in Piedmont, California

"Seth and I can't express how wonderful you've been from day one in our very emotional and difficult journey finding a nanny.  Thank you so much for your help, advice and excellent follow-up.  You and your company are the best!"

 

You and your company are the best!

I can't describe the feeling of relief we both have!

JB in Concord, California

"This morning my son and I met Sharon, the nanny you recommended to us.  I can't describe the feeling of relief we both have!  Sharon will take care of my three and a half year old son overnight for me next week while I travel for business.  He's so looking forward to it he has decided he will go to her house!

"All this came about just two days after my initial call to you.  I have called nanny agencies before, but was either put off by their attitudes or their lack of available nannies.  In our case, my son goes to preschool and daycare, and needs someone to care for him in the evenings.  I had no idea I could really get help from an agency for this type of temporary, off-hours work.

"You have a professional, yet friendly, approach to your business.  I appreciated your visit to our home to go over your recommendations.  You also had a thorough package on each nanny, with references, TrustLine and CPR information.  I got the feeling that you know your people well and make an effort to match up nannies with families.  I know what it's like to look for a nanny or babysitter, even a daycare.  You made the process as easy as possible while taking the guesswork and worry away.  

"I'm a single parent who often feels alone when having to make important decisions.  Thanks to you, I have a professional helping me find the right care for my son when I will be away.  For this first time in a long time, I feel like I really have some help.  The peace of mind that comes with that is priceless.

"I look forward to working with you and Sharon throughout the year."

 

You have a professional, yet friendly, approach to your business.

Unlike other agencies, you were the only one to offer to come to my home...

JWS in Alameda, California

"It has been six months since we hired Koay, and she is all the things we were looking for in a nanny, plus more.  When I decided to return to work, I only had a month to search for a nanny.  Unlike other agencies that I called, you were the only one to offer to come to my home and explain to me your services.  When we decided to work with you, my husband and I were very impressed with the thorough profiles and references you provided for all of the very qualified candidates.

"In the beginning it was scary for us to even think about entrusting the care of our only child to that of a stranger.  However, the advice you gave us on asking the right questions to our candidates was really helpful, and eventually landed us the person who was the best candidate.  In fact, we just completed our six month review with Koay, and I am happy to report that she is just as happy working with our family as we are with her.

"Thank you for your invaluable service.  I am always happy to recommend your company to other families looking for a nanny."

I came to you in desperation.

VMM in Pleasant Hill, California

"I came to you in desperation.  I was offered a consulting position which provided the perfect opportunity to return to the work force after a ten-month maternity leave.  Not only did you come to our house with a stack of dossiers, but you related your knowledge of each of the women and made the process so easy.  Each of the women was prescreened and most were TrustLine certified.  You REALLY do your homework!  Within TWO weeks, we had both a temporary nanny and a permanent nanny.  We love both of them and both of them love our child.  Thank you so much for finding us the right person.   I will recommend your agency to anyone who asks."

We were looking for a part-time nanny...

DS in Oakland, California

"We were looking for a part-time nanny to start working for us just a few weeks after our first daughter was born, but we wanted someone who would have both the commitment that we imagined comes with a full-time nanny, and the flexibility to see her duties and role with us grow and change as our needs -- and our daughter's -- develop.  We couldn't predict exactly what we would want -- especially since I am a first time mother, and a stay-at-home one -- so it took us several tries and a few redefinitions of our search as we began to understand better what we wanted through the interview process.

"Susan was always cheerful and helpful, presenting viable candidates and offering some advice as needed along the way.  She was thorough and thoughtful, both during our search and afterwards.  We've received several follow-up calls just to check that all is going well for everyone concerned!  

"The Nanny Network provides a great service and does so with attentive professionalism."

The Nanny Network came to our rescue!

SB in Moraga, California

"The Nanny Network came to our rescue!  We had two weeks to find a new nanny after the abrupt resignation of our child care provider.  My husband and I both work full time and were planning to leave for vacation, so the timing couldn't have been worse.  We interviewed a few agencies, but The Nanny Network was the only one to provide professional, customized and caring service.  

"Sue came to our house (she arrived right on schedule) and met with us personally to assess our needs, provided very professional nanny packets with pictures and background histories of all the nannies, and worked with us to set up interviews.  She also suggested that one of the potential candidates might be a particularly good fit with our personalities and needs.  Well, we interviewed that nanny the next day and hired her within the hour...the whole process took two days!  With a week to go until our vacation, we can breathe a huge sigh of relief!  Working with The Nanny Network was a pleasure, and I would recommend them to anyone!"

We are very grateful for all of Sue's help during our...frustrating nanny search.

JI in Berkeley, California

"We are very grateful for all of Sue's help during our onerous and somewhat frustrating nanny search.  After contacting four agencies and responding to many neighborhood postings and using BANANAS, we found that Sue's recommendations were on the mark and knew that we wanted to hire Jennifer after just one interview!

"While there are so many people that profess their ability to help you, only two of four agencies actually sent us anyone to interview, and Sue's candidate suggestions all seemed to much better fit our needs.

"Finding someone part-time to look after our five-month-old son was not an easy process, and I cannot say how relieved we were to find Sue, both because of her positive energy and willingness to help us quickly, as well as her actually finding someone both my husband and I were happy with.

"Two months into our nanny relationship, we still are grateful to have found someone who is so wonderful with our son and makes our hectic lives so much smoother and easier."

...your [nanny] candidates are by far the best I've met!

TK in Oakland, California

"You do such great work!  Your [nanny information] packets are so much better than those of the other agencies.  And your [nanny] candidates are by far the best I've met!  You really blow your competition out of the water!  It's a pleasure to work with you.  Thanks for all your help."

We just can't thank you enough.

LS in Castro Valley, California

"We just can't thank you enough for making this process such an easy one for us!  We had expected it to be long, painful and stressful.  We weren't even sure we could find someone to work with us, as I didn't know if I had my job yet.  You came to our rescue!

"Bill and I are so relieved that the only problem we had in finding a nanny was in selecting one of the very experienced candidates you provided for us.  We felt so comfortable knowing their backgrounds from your extensive nanny information packets and from your personal knowledge of each one.  It also eased our minds knowing that they were all TrustLine certified.  When we met them, we were pleased with the caring way they were with Sarah.  It was a very tough choice, but we are excited about Saba.

"I will be going back to work after being out with my baby for over a year.  I can't tell you how much easier it will be, knowing that Sarah is well cared for.  We are so grateful for your exceptional, professional, kind service.  I will definitely recommend The Nanny Network for anyone faced with finding someone to care for their cherished little ones."

...I frantically called Sue Stimmel at The Nanny Network after an exhaustive, frustrating and fruitless nanny search.

LR in Oakland, California

"Years ago, when my first daughter was born, I frantically phoned Sue Stimmel at The Nanny Network after an exhaustive, frustrating, and fruitless nanny search.  What a professional!  She truly came to the rescue and took the time to meet with us, talk about our needs, and ultimately find the right match.  The nanny Sue sent us was a godsend -- someone who cared for our baby, was patient, responsible, reliable and experienced.  I wish I could say that lasted forever, but alas, when our nanny left to have her own child (three years and another baby for us later!), we once again called Sue.  And although I was sure I now had the experience and connections to find a nanny myself, Sue inevitably came to the rescue and easily filled the spot.

"We have come to rely upon Sue's expertise, knowledge, connections, intuition and sincere desire to fit the right nanny with the right family.  She has a rare talent and has been a huge comfort to us during what is probably one of the most stressful processes a parent can go through.

"We highly recommend Sue at The Nanny Network, and we're always grateful she's there."

We were very apprehensive about hiring just anyone, and that is when we found The Nanny Network.

BRJ in Berkeley, California

"When our second daughter turned six months old, we needed to find someone who could care for her on a daily basis, in addition to caring for our older daughter after school and during summer vacation.  With our older daughter, we had a personal referral for a nanny, but this time we didn't.  

"We were very apprehensive about hiring just anyone, and that is when we found The Nanny Network.  Filling out the extensive application seemed a little overwhelming at first, but then I realized that it was really making us define the type of person we wanted, in addition to what the nanny's role would be in our lives and those of our children. 

"Once the application information was in place, Sue came and met us in our home, so she could get to know us and our children.  She presented us with packets of information about different nannies that fit our defined needs.  Then Sue set up interviews for us that worked with our busy schedules.  

"Sue made the whole process of finding a nanny an easy one.  We now have a wonderful nanny who adores our children and who is adored by our children.  Thank you, Sue, for all your assistance in making this happen!"

SM in Lafayette, California

"Veronica is working out great!  She is such a natural.  I really don't have to give her much direction, and I totally trust her.  She and I had a brief conversation yesterday about how she likes her work and the kids.  She says she loves it and adores the kids.  She said she is very happy.  

"Thanks so much for putting us together.  I am so lucky to have her!"

We can't say enough positive things about our experience with Sue and The Nanny Network!

AM in Pleasant Hill, California

"We can't say enough positive things about our experience with Sue and The Nanny Network!  Sue worked incredibly fast and diligently to help us find the right nanny for our two-month-old twin girls.  She worked closely with us to find the perfect match and conducted thorough researches and background checks on each candidate before our introductions and interviews.  She genuinely cared about the well-being of all her clients -- parents AND nannies -- and individualized all her services to suit our needs.  We felt as if she worked solely for us to help us find our nanny, even though we know she's incredibly busy juggling many clients at any given time.  

"In the end, we had a hard time deciding on which nanny to hire because they were all excellent candidates.  Who can be lucky enough to have such a decision to make?!  

"We are thrilled to have found our perfect, caring, loving, patient, experienced, and conscientious nanny in just two short weeks -- much sooner and better than we ever anticipated!"

VM in Pleasant Hill, California

"Dear Sue;

"Not only are you the most thorough and thoughtful [nanny] care provider to East Bay families, you treat your employees with dignity and respect!  So much so that their families choose The Nanny Network for their employer of choice!   Betel, Leah and now Rachel!

"I just got off the phone with Rachel, the twin of Leah.  She was calling to see if I thought she should also apply to work with you.  I told her YES!  Sue is the very best of the best!

Working with you was a real pleasure.

CP in Orinda, California

"Dear Sue;

"Working with you was a real pleasure.  We were referred to you by my brother and sister-in-law, who also found their nanny through you.  They were very happy with the candidates and the nanny they hired.  We are also extremely pleased!  The information packets you gave us on the first group of candidates gave a complete and meaningful picture of what the candidates were like.  We were fairly easily able to decide on two candidates to interview first.  The first was just fine, and we would have most likely been quite happy with her, but we decided to go ahead and meet the second because she was already scheduled to come to our house.  When we met her, the decision was made, and we've never looked back.  Our only concern is that someday she might NOT be our nanny!  

"The process was so easy and simple.  We hired our nanny within a week of when we first met with you, and we weren't even really in a hurry!  

"I have already recommended you to at least two families.  One is trying to find a nanny on craigslist, to no avail.  I think they will be calling you soon!

"Sue, we couldn't be happier and are counting our blessings to have been introduced to you and our nanny!  Thanks so much!"

...the first nanny that we interviewed was a perfect match for our family!

LB in Danville, California

"My husband and I moved over from the U.K. with our seven-month-old little boy, and we struggled for a couple of months to find childcare that we were comfortable with.  As soon as we started working with Susan from The Nanny Network, we immediately felt that we had found someone who was interested in meeting our needs, and the first nanny that we interviewed was a perfect match for our family!  We were more than satisfied with The Nanny Network and would not hesitate to recommend them to any of our friends and colleagues."

I have worked with several agencies...and you were the first to actually READ the information about the type of nanny...my family needed, and actually provided me candidates that matched our needs.

RM in Alamo, California

"Dear Sue;

"I wanted to thank you for the placement of Brianna as a permanent nanny into our family!  I have worked with several agencies in the past several years, and you were the first to actually READ the information about the type of nanny and services my family needed, and actually provided me candidates that matched our needs.  All of the other agencies seem to just grab the top three resumes off their list, throw me their resumes, and hope that one of them might fit.

"I was also impressed at how quickly you responded to my initial email request that I needed help finding a nanny.  In looking back at my emails, you responded to my initial email within 45 minutes, confirming you were interested in my business, interested in helping me with the search, and we started in on the process to find the right person to fit our needs!

"I believe the key to my positive experience with your company was the professional response, prompt response, and overall customer service attitude of doing whatever you could to help me with the tough decision process I needed to make to find the right person to fit my family.

"I am very glad that I made contact with you, and the nanny you placed with my family has been outstanding!

"I would highly recommend you and your company to any of my friends that are in a search for services needs.  I wish you all the best in the ongoing success of your organization!"

My husband and I found The Nanny Network after an Internet search and were relieved when our experience with the service turned out to be very positive.

AM in Alameda, California

"My husband and I found The Nanny Network through an Internet search and were relieved when our experience with the service turned out to be very positive.  After our previous childcare provider quit without notice, we were distraught and feared we would never find a warm and qualified nanny to help care for our infant son.

"We met with Sue shortly after calling The Nanny Network and were impressed with her professionalism and vigilance in finding us a nanny.  Immediately she provided us with contact information for two great and experienced nannies.  My husband and I were able to arrange interviews with both; and within a week of meeting Sue, we hired our wonderful nanny who has been with us for six months.  

"Our experience with Sue and The Nanny Network was great during that very trying and stressful time."

 

...and within a week of meeting Sue, we hired our wonderful nanny who has been with us six months.

Thank you so much for making our (nanny search) job easier....

KR in Concord, California

"The good news is that Luz has happily agreed to stay on with us.  We are very happy and somewhat surprised at how easy it was to find her!   Thank you so much for making our job easier by providing a thorough overview and giving us a sense of who the person is before we interviewed them.

"And thank you for being so thorough in the way you conduct business - I really do appreciate all the extra effort you go to, particularly the typed profile on the nannies.  This was very helpful.  I would not hesitate to recommend your company to anyone else in need of a nanny."

...I wish I would've contacted Sue much sooner!

LG in Lafayette, California

"I contacted Sue after two months of looking for our nanny.  I had interviewed at least 15 people in person at that point - and spoken to many more over the phone. I was using Craig's List as well as three other agencies - needless to say I wish I would've contacted Sue much sooner!  The first candidate she sent me was exactly what I had been looking for all along - and she sent her in about 24 hours from our first conversation.  

"I'd like to add that the format Sue uses to present the candidates to you is far superior to that of the other agencies.  She gives you enough information in a concise manner to really get a feel for the candidate and their experience, and even includes a picture of the candidate with her family - which I thought was a really nice personal touch.  All of the agencies do background checks and references - but I really like the fact that Sue meets with her prospective nannies in their own homes in order to really get a good sense of them.

 
"With Sue's help, I was able to hire our nanny without delay (again, the first and only person I interviewed through Sue) - she even provided a sample employment agreement as a WORD document - which was another distinction that I did not find with the other firms.  

"In a nutshell, I would not hesitate to recommend Sue to any fellow Moms - she understands what you are looking for, she provides outstanding service, and she's not only completely professional but very warm and helpful.  I am very happy with our nanny, and this has made my return to work much easier and less stressful than I ever thought it would be.  Thanks, Sue!"

"The Nanny Network is a service that I would highly recommend.  As a new mother, I was very nervous about hiring someone to take care of our daughter when I returned to work.  Not only did Sue allay my fears and walked us through the process like a consummate professional, but she sent us only the most qualified and experienced candidates.  We adore the nanny we hired through The Nanny Network.  She has been a godsend to our family."

"I wanted to thank you so very much for introducing us to Ericka.  She is a fabulous, strong, educated woman and we are so pleased to have her in our family's life.  She has had a bit to contend with as our family is a bit complicated (odd schedules, feeding issues, etc.), but she has certainly stepped up to the plate and handles each day with such grace.  She brings much love and joy to our children's lives and some real sanity to ours'.  I just wanted to let you know that we greatly appreciate Ericka and appreciate you for the important connection that you have provided.  

"Keep up the great work and take care."

My experiences with the Nanny Network were exceptional...

LBP in Lafayette, California

"My experiences with the Nanny Network were exceptional, and I'm pleased to write to let you know.

"Starting on the journey of finding child care for my son was something I approached with trepidation.  I wanted to work with a placement agency that took the process seriously and understood my concerns about transitioning from being the primary caregiver to hiring someone to do this for our family.  I appreciated your professional manner, your home visit to meet me in person and understand what I was looking for.  Based on this first visit, I was able to choose three or four candidates I was interested in meeting.

"The packets that were provided to me were excellent resources for learning about the candidates, understanding what they were looking for and even seeing what they looked like from the pictures included.  I liked the 'basic' set of background checks, references and other information that was included in the packet.  It provided a great overview for determining who to meet and interview. 

"I also appreciated your willingness to be the intermediary in the discussions with the nannies, allowing me to stay out of the back and forth and letting me make a decision without having to spend a lot of time interacting with those I wasn’t interested in.  That was an excellent use of my time and I was glad it was part of what was included in the service you provided.

"All the Nanny Network candidates were of exceptional skill and ability.  When we met Emilia, we knew she was right for us.  We continued to interview, to assure ourselves we’d done a thorough job of finding the right person, but there was no one else that 'felt' just as right as she did.  She is working out beautifully with our son and we hope for a long relationship with her.

"The resources you provided during the process of negotiating with our nanny were very helpful.  Not having done something like this before, I appreciated being able to talk it through with you, gain from your experience and craft an agreement that worked well for everyone.  All the information provided helped to inform and assist me in making the best decision for our family.

"Thank you again, Sue, for the exceptional service and concern for our family.  I’m recommending you to my mom’s group and anyone else that asks about our process and experience."

I am writing to inform you that Maria has worked out wonderfully...

"I am writing to inform you that Maria has worked out wonderfully in just one week of being our new nanny!  I can't believe how quickly Alex has adjusted to his new friend and nanny.  Not only does she care and nurtu
