Testimonials

Caretaker, nanny and chef
Chef

If I had gotten a nanny sooner, I just maybe would have been able to see friends more and get a facial or my hair cut, like some self-care, honestly, just those very basic things that I definitely took for granted before a child. And I think I've noticed that I'm a better mother when I have those opportunities to take care of myself or take care of the things that bring me joy or just peace in my day.

- EV, Mom

We were admittedly very cautious when exploring the possibility of using a staffing agency when looking for a nanny. After going through the exhaustive process of online sites and other local agencies (who either didn't listen to our needs or were unresponsive), we reached out to Dara. I knew within the first 10 minutes that we were in safe hands. Dara listened to our needs and concerns and answered our questions. She found the perfect group of candidates for us to meet and interview and answered any and all questions we had along the way.

Dara and her team are professional, responsive, and really do a great job of listening and matching families with well-qualified nannies. Because all the candidates were qualified that they provided to interview, I was able to think about who would be the right fit vs. simply qualified and trustworthy.

- SM, Mom

Seaside Nannies is extremely helpful in assisting finding the right family that will work for both parties, so you can find a job that you will want to work long term. The process has been enjoyable and smooth.

- MH, Nanny

After realizing kids would not be going back to school second semester, I needed some help. Kim found me a nanny who is amazing and helps the kids with zoom, cooking and errand running when needed. Kim was terrific to work with.

- ML, Mom

I have nothing but good things to say I have been working with Kim and she is professional kind and always available just an amazing person to work with feel very blessed and proud to work with / for her and looking forward to work with her for many years to come.

- LV, Estate Housekeeper

Seaside Nannies has hands down been the best agency I have ever had the pleasure of working with! This beautiful agency genuinely cares about connection. They have made me feel heard and seen. Truly grateful for their services and non-stop communication throughout every step of the hiring process!

- MR, Nanny

Seaside Nannies is an excellent agency to go through when finding your own job or looking for your household staffing needs. Dara and the Seaside team really do their best to match with the right families and they are there for you with any questions you may have throughout the entire process. I was able to find a wonderful family through this agency and I am so happy! Thank you, Seaside Staffing!

- MM, Nanny

Dara & the Seaside staff are truly the most helpful & kindest group of people. I’ve worked with multiple agencies and can say this is by far the best one. They were, quick, hyper-organized, and thorough throughout placements. By far the most genuine group to work with, couldn't be happier!

- VA, Nanny

I’ve worked with several agencies across the country and Seaside is by far the best. As a nanny, I think the staff go above and beyond to make sure you feel supported, happy with your placement, and prepared before your interviews. 10/10- I‘m so glad I’m connected to this agency!

- NS, Nanny

When we relocated to Orange County, we were interested in employing a live-in nanny. Since we had never had a live-in nanny before, Seaside literally held hands with us through all of the details to be considered and within only a couple of weeks found the perfect match for our family.

- PL, Mom

Can't recommend Seaside enough -- they have top notch candidates who are better than anyone I've ever found through the free services, plus they have all of the references, background checks etc. all done for you. Definitely give them a call if you are in need of help!

- CK, Mom

After unsuccessfully conducting a search on my own for four months, I finally reached out to Seaside Nannies in the hopes that they could help me find a nanny. I should’ve called them sooner. Looking back, I wasted too much time and money posting on childcare provider websites and browsing mommy and nanny groups online. Don’t waste your time, call Seaside.

- ML, Mom

The team at Seaside were a dream to work with. They knew from the start exactly what type of candidates to send my way. They were personable, always prompt with responses, and made me feel at ease because I knew I could trust their judgement and expert knowledge in how best to match nannies with families. I unreservedly recommend Seaside Nannies.

- EM, Mom

I could not recommend Seaside more! Until now, I have never had a more thorough, personal, or caring representation than this agency. They truly care about their clients, caregivers, and finding the perfect match. I am SO grateful for their service and representation!

- SP, Nanny

I was placed with a family through Seaside. They were so helpful throughout the process and helped me find a family that I absolutely love! They are excellent to work with as a nanny.

- SM, Nanny

Personal Assistant

Dara was amazing to work with. From the very beginning she was straight to the point, while we had a phone call and then zoom she took down my needs as a mother of 3 and right away started sending me candidates a couple of days later if not the next day.

I love how organized her files were when sending over candidates it left me with no questions other than when can we start interviewing. All of the candidates that Dara sent over had great portfolios with a lot of experience.

I know staffing agencies can be expensive but I truly believe you get what you pay for and when it comes to your kids you cannot put a price on that, feeling safe, trusting, and comfortable with leaving them alone with a complete stranger.

What I loved most about working with this agency is they were not pushy at all with me, she allowed me to take my time looking over candidates and she was there when I needed her to answer any questions I had about specific ones. She just gets it, and understands what my needs were as a mom, wife, and individual.

Thank you Dara and the Seaside Team,

- AC, Mom

I have heard about Seaside Nannies from a friend. I immediately emailed them, and they reached back within an hour, had a conversation and then we set up a zoom call. I was a little nervous as you are before a new job interview. After about 5min of talking to Dara, I knew… she is like me. She loves children and she knows how to connect with them. Also, she knows how to connect with Nannies. She is very friendly and knowledgeable about matching Nannies with families. She found the perfect family for me. I’m happy and I really appreciate their services and representing me to my new family.
I recommend Seaside Nannies!

If you are looking for a professional agency who also has great business relationships with their clients then this is the place for you! You won’t be disappointed! Best agency I’ve worked with hands down.

- DR, Mom

Our family has worked with Seaside on 2 separate occasions now and they are incredible. Both nannies she sourced for our family were amazing.

We were referred to Seaside by friends and had a seamless experience working with the agency. Dara felt like an old friend and was quickly able to assess what we were looking for in a nanny. She delivered a great pool of qualified, vetted candidates. She also managed all the scheduling and communication with the candidates, which made the process effortless for us. She truly has excellent matchmaking skills. I would highly recommend working with Seaside!

- SG, Mom

Dara advocates for both the nanny and the family, all while making the process so seamless. Her flexibility is unmatched, which is honestly hard to come across these days. As a career nanny, I was just placed by Dara with a family and could not be happier.

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.”
