What people are saying about us

FIGHTS FOR YOU

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!

- LG, Family Assistant

GRATEFUL FOR THE SERVICE

Dara was so amazing from beginning to end. From the perspective, it was seamless. Her instincts and intuition were right on in my case, and really cares. She quickly responds to emails and immediately responds to specific inquiries. I am eternally grateful for the role Dara has played in my helping us source our nanny.

- YJ, Client

SEASIDE CARES

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.

- KM, Nanny

PERSONAL SERVICE

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.

- SF, Mom

SIX STARS!

Despite initially seeking only a temporary nanny, in the end, we hired one of Dara's candidates permanently, full-time, because we liked her so much. She's been with our family now for over three months, and we can't even imagine life in San Diego without her. Our kid loves her. We love her. It's a perfect match. It's amazing that Dara found her for us in just a week. If I could give Dara six stars for finding her, I would. Thanks Dara!

- CA, Dad

RECOMMENDED AGENCY

I was in San Diego for a weekend and needed a nanny so I could take my wife out to dinner. Crystal was amazing and I would recommend this agency to anyone.

- DB, Client

WILLING TO HELP ABOVE AND BEYOND

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.

- RI, Family Assistant

VERY HELPFUL

I interviewed with Dara and we had a great and meaningful conversation. She asked all the right questions and took time to get a grasp on my needs, wants and experience. She always responded promptly and politely, and was very helpful! I enjoyed working with Dara and always had a great experience with her! Dara found me a great position and I'm extremely happy with my experience.

- GW, Personal Assistant

THEY CARE ABOUT THE MATCH

Seaside is place to go to find household staff. They care about who they send to your home. I felt most comfortable moving forward with hiring them because of the way they communicate as well as how they conduct their vetting and background checks. However, that's just one aspect that sets this agency apart from the all the others. They are also so knowledgeable about children, family dynamics and the matchmaking process its obvious. Mostly, they actually care about matching each and every family to the best nanny for their particular situation.

- NB, Mom

THEY GET THE GREATEST CLIENTS!

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.

- LG, Family Assistant

WIN-WIN FOR ALL!

Dara and her staff are professional, communicative, and experts in matching employees with their employers. A win win for all!

- AM, Mom

I LOVE THIS COMAPNY

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 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.

- EM, Family Assistant

THE MOST INTERESTED AGENCY

Seaside Nannies is the most "interested" agency in San Diego. NOT ONE other San Diego nanny agency makes the nannies get fingerprinted before they are sent over and none of the agency owners come to the house and have a personal face to face meeting with the families.

- VP, Mom

TOOK TIME WITH ME

Dara was the only one in which took time with me on the phone to answer all my questions, and actually pay attention to what I was saying. I being a new mom, you can bet your life, I am not too excited to go back to work to leave my baby with a nanny, but Dara assured me that not only were all my fears warranted and realistic, but she also made it clear that she totally understood where I was coming from! She sent over 3 nannies that were all so incredibly perfect I actually had a difficult time making a decision. So I took advantage of trialing with all of them. It took some time, but we did hire an incredible nanny from Seaside and had a positive experience. Maybe its because the agency owner has been a nanny for over 25 years, or maybe its her background but I can tell you that I felt so good about moving forward with this agency then any of the others in SD. And she actually did exactly what she said she was going to do. I would highly recommend this service to any of the families in San Diego looking for a wonderful agency that cares more about what they do and how its done than just the money they received in the transaction...

- AW, Mom

PERSONAL HANDS ON APPROACH

Seaside nannies is amazing!!! They use a fantastic hands on approach that is both dedicated to providing the best nanny for your children, as well as making sure it is the perfect fit for the nanny. They are always ready to talk and help solve any and every issue or question you may have. She has the single most thorough agency in Southern California that you will find. They perform extensive background checks as well as makes sure all of their nannies are Trustlined and CPR/first aid certified. Also, one of the few agencies that does a personal interview with all of her nannies and families. Truly the single best agency.

- BL, Nanny

JADE STEVENSON

Social Media Manager

As our social media manager, Jade Stevenson is one of the primary gatekeepers to our Seaside story.

With a Bachelor’s degree in English Literature and Psychology, Jade is a natural champion of authenticity, and she uses her whimsically pink hair to nudge all of us closer to her magical world of creative expression.

As a kid, Jade discovered she was allergic to more than 60 percent of the food pyramid, and it is in this journey where she began to learn just how important it is to show up as a force of kindness in the world. She holds an unwavering belief in the power of story, and she believes that small acts of compassion can truly spark a movement of positivity and change.

When she’s not showing up with her digital marketing genius at Seaside, Jade can be easily spotted (thanks to her pink hair) tutoring local teens and helping them write the types of college essays that earn acceptance letters from the schools of their dreams.

Equally at home whether she’s amplifying the voices of Black Femmes or losing herself in the quiet stillness of an ancient book of poetry, Jade is a living expression of what it means to fully embrace your truest self. When you meet her, you’ll immediately feel like you’re right at home, and she’ll always help you discover and celebrate the best parts of who you are.

JESSICA HE

Placement Coordinator

Jessica He has spent her entire life stepping feet first into the big, wide world, making every corner of it feel like home – no matter where she’s at.

Earning two Bachelor’s degrees in Chinese language and East Asian Studies, she’s traveled the world to study in monasteries, climb Mount Fuji, and drink tea and coffee with otters. (Yes, that last one is real. Ask her about it.) She’s also served as an ESL teacher, a recruiter, a trainer, and a nanny – always finding ways to work alongside families and children. Today, she brings all her stories and all her experiences to Seaside Staffing Company where she makes the art of perfect matchmaking look flawlessly simple.

When Jessica isn’t in the Seaside office, she’s a busy momma who knows firsthand what it’s like to be in the trenches and need support. Unashamed to claim her sense of humor as one of her greatest talents, Jessica is perpetually positive, fiercely organized, and always seems to find a way to bring levity to the hardest-to-solve problems. Knowing Jessica means you’ll never forget how to laugh, and she’ll give you the courage to live your life to the fullest.

(Want to see her humor in action? Ask her about the time she lived in China and got her Oreos confiscated by a very disappointed nun.)

KIMBERLY BANEY

Placement Coordinator

With an MBA in HR Management and Accounting, Kim might best be described as a people expert.

She spent six years teaching children online in China as an ESL instructor, and with a TESOL certification in her proverbial back pocket, it’s no wonder why she shows up at Seaside every single day with a big, bold view of the world.

Over the last decade, Kim has served as a recruiter and a placement coordinator in the household staffing industry, and she’s learned that while systems are incredibly important, relationships matter more. It’s not uncommon to hear Seaside clients talk to Kim like she’s their best friend. They know she’ll go to the ends of the earth for them (and we’ve seen her do it countless times).

When Kim isn’t at Seaside, she can most likely be found 4-wheeling through the dirt and taking long hikes with her dogs. She’s always up for a great adventure, and she says one of the craziest things she’s ever done is buying an Amish house with no electricity or hot water (besides that one time in high school when she thought it was a great idea to buy a car with a giant British flag painted on the hood).

“The basement of our house used to be a bakery,” she says. “When I’m dreaming about escaping to New Zealand or Scotland, I just head downstairs, take in a deep breath, and imagine myself eating a delicious cinnamon roll baked to sticky-finger perfection.”
