OUR VALUES

Meet the rock-solid beliefs that make our world spin 'round

Home is
sacred

We don't fast-track, automate, or take shortcuts – because we know that trusting us with your home (and the people you love most) is the most important investment you'll ever make.

Embrace the adventure

Life is a journey – wildly unpredictable and breathtakingly beautiful. We are bold. We are curious. We are never afraid. And this allows us to solve big problems without ever backing down.

Always
be kind

We lead with kindness, and we believe that because everyone has inherent worth and immeasurable value, they should be seen, known, and celebrated.

OUR SEASIDE PROCESS

It all begins with a real-life, heart-to-heart conversation

Our nationwide network helps you meet top-tier, proven,
and hand-selected household staffing candidates

1

Matchmaking
Session

When you invest in a partnership with Seaside Nannies, our first step is to have a heart-to-heart, face-to-face conversation. We'll talk about your must-haves and your dream list, and we'll create and review detailed job descriptions. Then, our placement coordinators will get to work on finding your right-fit candidate.

2

Candidate
Selection

You'll receive 3 - 5 candidate packages to review, and once you've decided who you want to connect with, we'll set up Zoom interviews* and home trials**.

*In California, all childcare providers are fingerprinted and registered with the Trustline™ Registry before initial interview, which includes candidates being fingerprinted and registered with DOJ, FBI, California Department of Social Services, and the Central Childcare Index.

**Trial times should not exceed 2 weeks.

Perfectly
Matched Hire

After you've picked your preferred candidate, we'll help put together their job offer with you and run any extra background checks that are needed. All background checks include a Social Security number trace, all counties of residence checked for criminal activity, and a DMV report. Initial candidate packages contain documented references and we scour the web and double check all social media platforms.

We had several very deep conversations about how we would
approach this position differently to find someone that was a better fit.
It was like 8 PM one night and we're on the phone, and I'm able to text
her. Seaside was very available, which has been a constant with them.
And that kind of drop-of-the-hat prioritizing me was just incredible.

When you think differently about home, you staff differently, too.

When Dara Yates left her home state of New York for the Pacific shores of California, she was a young 20-something who had already discovered one of the greatest lessons of her life: home is sacred.
Dara G Yates

Spending the first part of her professional career as a nanny and preschool teacher (and earning two degrees in Early Childhood Education and English Literature), Dara began to suspect that there was a caveat to her life's greatest lesson: If home is sacred, then it needed to be fiercely protected and never, ever taken for granted.

In 2004, Dara began to build a network of trusted experts who held this same conviction. For the team members at Seaside, home demands quality over quick, and safety is never an afterthought.

Seaside team members are highly credentialed. They hold years of experience in their fields, and many of the nation's most high-profile families consider them their best-kept secrets.

Today, Dara stands out as one of the most trusted leaders in household staffing, and her relationship-first commitment has made her a first-choice partner for sophisticated households throughout Seattle, San Francisco, Los Angeles, San Diego, Chicago, Austin, Miami, New York, Nashville, and Washington D.C.
