I have been dealing with the CEO Rimma and she charged my account for her search and abruptly ended the search after her three candidates. Be wary of her, she sounds very nice until she signs you up for her search. I will be pursuing a refund of the charges she made to my account.

I love Stanford Park. Ever since my original interview (I'm a nanny), I knew I wanted to work with them. Everyone there is attentive, understanding and personable. Whenever I call with questions, they are always willing to help me navigate through my thoughts. They understand how things are from both nanny and parent perspective, so their insight is spot on. They work hard to find great matches for everyone and genuinely care about what each parties needs/wants are. I value SPN and if I ever were to have my own agency, I would look to SPN for inspiration and guidance. 10/10 recommend!

We had the pleasure of working with SPN and with Rimma when we were looking for a nanny for my newborn. This was our second kid and we had toddler also at home due to daycare being closed down due to the COVID-19 pandemic. As you can imagine, not having a nanny was extremely stressful as managing two very small, dependent kids while also managing work was very hard for me and my partner. We had been looking for a nanny for few months on our own, found one who didn't turn out to be good fit and quit, and were exhausted. We had also tried using an agency (that was cheaper than SPN) but they were

Our family has worked exclusively with Stanford Park Nannies for 18 years, since our first child was 3 months old! As first-time parents, we really depended on Daryl's team's support--helping us identify what was important to us, sending us only well-qualified nannies matched to our requirements and personality. The entire team is very professional and also extremely friendly and pleasant.
Originally, we started with three agencies, and found that the other two just tossed us reams of resumes, leaving us (busy with our six-week old infant) to sort through on our own what worked. We quickly came

I worked with four different nanny staffing agencies on two different occasions to identify a full-time nanny for my 8-month old son. I would rate Stanford Park Nannies very highly.
+Great flow of very qualified candidates
+All candidates were prepared to pay taxes (something we weren't able to find on candidates we surfaced through our own networks and through PAMP)
+Great vetting process with thorough pre-interviewing, Trustline, private investigation, and detailed references
+Had a good understanding of what we were seeking and did not waste our time with those that weren't a fit. In fact

We were connected with our first ever nanny through SPN 4 years ago. She has been with us the whole time and she is absolutely AMAZING. when we were in the process of choosing someone Maggie was very helpful and we really learned about having a nanny since we'd never done this before and we've never looked back on our choice. This month our lovely nanny hurt herself and told us she'd be out for about 1 month. We were in crisis mode as we needed someone quickly and we'd developed very high expectations over 4 years with the same lovely woman in our home every day! Within one business day Maggie
