A Nanny Connection

The nanny Robin found for our family is so wonderful! After spending ten weeks of looking for a sitter, she is finally helping all 6 of us get our lives back together. Interviewing close to 20 candidates over the summer took a huge toll on our family. Thanks to our nanny, I have had time to read one on one with all 4 kids this past week. Last night at dinner, the oldest three shared that this was their «favorite time» of the entire week.
Thank you to a nanny connection for and helping us make this connection!

I contacted Nanny Connection (Robin) when I was pregnant with my first child because we knew we wanted to hire a nanny for our baby. She responded promptly and went through the process and fees. However, while I was on maternity leave, I decided to post on the Care (dot com) website. I spoke to and interviewed about 15 – 20 nannies from Care. I even conducted background checks and did «practice days» with a few nannies. Not one of the nannies were of a high caliber and I didn’t feel safe at all leaving my 3 month old baby with any of them. So, I sought Nanny Connection out again after not having ANY luck with Care website or Sittercity. I had emailed her the night before and by morning, she had sent me about 4 – 5 nannies who were searching for jobs and could accommodate my work schedule. She also sent over the entire application packet, which includes a 10 year plus employment history, their Driving Record, several refererences from past employers, Trustline Registry certification and other miscallenous information about the prospective Nanny. She also offers to schedule the interviews for you, but I chose to reach out to the nannies myself. Each Nanny had a lot of experience caring for various ages of children and a long history of nurturing and developing young minds. We chose a nanny and we could not be happier. She is wonderful and really spends time with my baby doing various activities to build both his physical and mental side. Even though Robin is not the actual person providing care for my child, she sent over high-​quality candidates who can be trusted with your child.
I had contacted other agencies, as well. Their fees were much higher than Robin’s and they certainly didn’t have a «can do» attitude. When I told those other agencies that I needed a part-​time nanny and provided them the specific days/​times, they basically told me they couldn’t find anybody to meet my needs. Robin never once indicated to me that she was unable to accommodate my schedule.
Finally, Robin is very responsive over emails and phone calls. She also will accommodate you if you have special requests. Nanny Connection obviously charges a fee, but in comparison to other agencies, Robin’s fees are the least expensive PLUS you are getting exceptional service. Even though there is a fee associated with Nanny Connection, it was worth every penny!

I wasn’t sure I wanted to work with a service. I had some luck finding a nanny on the Internet but then I couldn’t find anyone that met my standards. When we hired Robin I knew she would find us the right person. She allowed me to interview as many people as I needed, never making me feel that I was too picky for my son! She is so hard working and always seems to be on my side and so patient! She found us a great nanny but then she moved 2 months later. Robin worked tirelessly until we found another great one through her service. She goes beyond and above any consultant/​recruiter I’ve ever met! If you are thinking about hiring a nanny service, I won’t think twice about this business… it’s worth the fee!

I have used A Nanny Connection to find 2 wonderful longterm nannies since 2005. Robin has a genuine interest in finding the right fit for your family. She has many well qualified candidates. Both nannies I hired were caring, honest, loving and dependable. Most importantly, they each took care of my children from when they were only a few mo of age until preschool/​K. Robin saved us from countless hours of searching for the right person. I would highly recommend her services to any parent who is looking!

I was not really looking to join an agency seeing I had not had any success many times over my 10 year career as a nanny BUT Robin came highly recommended by my current family at the time so I decided to give it a shot!
I was so happy and found a wonderful family who has given me such a great contract!
I stay in contact with Robin to stay connected with part time things and other nannies and what the current laws and trends are for nannies.
Keeping current is how we all stay relevant!

I cannot say enough great things about Robin! She found me my job over 8 ½ years ago and I am still working for the same family! I have come back to Robin a few times over the years when my position went from full time to part time for supplemental hours and Robin is always ready, eager, and willing to help me out. Robin is so on top of things and responds really quickly… I mean scary quickly sometimes! ;) I love that I can be honest with Robin and she never makes me feel bad for being honest, but is right there to support me and back me. She has told me to trust my gut and not to take jobs if they don’t feel right, which I think speaks to her professionalism and character. I have looked for jobs on
and can honestly say that the families that Robin attracts are the quality families and the ones that I would rather work for. And I have dabbled in looking at other agencies when I am in a pinch and I always regret doing that because those agencies do not provide the same positive experience I have ALWAYS had with Robin. Seriously, I feel like an idiot when I look for jobs anywhere other than with Robin! If you need a nanny, give her a call! And if you need a job, give her a call!

Robin is wonderful! She works very fast and knows a lot of families in the East Bay. She’s very easy to talk to and get a hold of. She’s definitely the best this side of the bay.

I have had the privilege of working with Robin at nanny connection a few times now over my 20 plus years as a nanny. She is simply wonderful. She listens to what you are looking for and tries to find the best families that she thinks are a good match. I would highly recommend her services to nannies and families who are looking for a great nanny!

I have been a part of A Nanny Connection for 5 years now, and cannot say enough good things about Robin and her agency. As a nanny I take comfort in knowing that Robin is extremely thorough with background screenings, and is attentive and honest when it comes to choosing the right family for your needs. She always makes sure both the families and the nannies are happy, and is always extremely flexible and understanding. I have been placed with two different amazing families during my duration as a nanny for A Nanny Connection, and I couldn’t be happier! Robin does an awesome job at finding the perfect fit. I highly recommend A Nanny Connection to both nannies and families!

Robin and Nanny Connection have saved us, a few times. We had some very specific needs (early mornings and then two nights a week) and she brought us some incredible candidates. She did the background checks, set up the interviews, was always available to talk to us and answer our questions. She was helpful and insightful and now the two nannies we hired have become part of our family. We are grateful for the work she put in to find us two great nannies that our kids just love. Nanny Connection provides a great service!

Robin is very nice. She has placed me with a family years ago. This time around I went on an interview and she told me she has tons of jobs for me and that she would e-​mail me the jobs the day after.
This has been a month. I called her like 5 times and left all kinds of messages. I e-​mailed and the e-​mails returned.
I never heard from her again. Does anyone know if she is alive???

Every morning I watch my 8-​month old daughter drum her feet happily on the floor and reach out her arms to our nanny with a huge grin plastered on her face. This image keeps my heart full as I depart for my commute, relaxed in knowing that she is getting a full dose of love and attention from a person I trust completely in my absence. Making the decision to return to work was not an easy one, but, once it was decided, Robin from A Nanny Connection made finding the right caregiver a pain-​free experience. My family was not in a position to pay at the top of the pay grade, but Robin was still able to send us several candidates with a wide range of skills and experience.
There is an art to this match-​making process, and Robin is quick, efficient, and supremely responsive. We had a call with her on a Thursday and were able to start interviewing candidates by that weekend. We talked to several, but we ended up hiring the very first one we interviewed, and she has been a truly wonderful addition to our household.
As first-​timers, we had tons of questions about best practices, and Robin was always prompt in getting back to us with direct responses or the appropriate resources to get those answers.
I adore our nanny and hope that we don’t part ways for many years, but, if she should need to move on for any reason, my next call will be to Robin.

OK, i was totally wrong. ROBIN is outstanding. One of the friendliest woman I have ever worked with. So incredibly caring, willing to help, sweet, funny, punctual, honest, upfront, she actually CARES. I’m so privileged to be able to work with her.

I was looking for a nanny when our son was 5 months old because my husband was going to be traveling for 6 weeks for work and then work for us part time. I sent an email to friends asking for recommendations and a woman I interviewed was less than enthusiastic about taking care of a baby so young.
I heard that Robin was great and gave her a call. She was warm, incredibly easy to work with, listened to what I was was looking for in a nanny and set up all the interviews for me (being a first time mom was much more challenging than I expected. I barely had time to make a phone call!). She sent so many great potential candidates to us.
It was also really important to me that the girls were background checked and I got their completed applications along with recommendations from other families.
We found the perfect nanny who has been a terrific addition to our family and takes great care of our son. He adores her!
Robin’s professionalism, positive attitude and quick response was very appreciated. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a wonderful nanny.

As a nanny I have been working with this agency for 10 years. Let me tell you this job is NOT for everyone. You need to be a selfless, caring person to work in the privacy of someones home with someone else children.
You also need to be a working professional who is responsible and maintains a excellent work ethic no matter how relaxed and comfortable you may feel-​the dress code for a nanny is yoga pants and sneakers!
Robin really ensures this quality of nanny for her clients. she is professional as well as personable. She really understands the process in placing the right nanny with the right family. It is not easy and does not always happen over night. There has to be a real, honest connection there on both ends. After all this not a corporate office or retail store position. This is someones home and they are putting the most important thing in their life in your hands-​their children.
I also love that I am never pressured to take a position because she is desperate to make a placement. She is so human when it comes to this and I can’t say that about other agency’s. I trust Robin and have been nothing but happy with the placements I have had through this agency.
whether your a parent or a nanny I highly recommend A Nanny Connection. Robin will take care of you.

I have used Robin’s services for 7 years and we have been very pleased with her. She responds to all requests almost immediately. She has always supported us in any questions we have had and has really wanted us to find a nanny that worked well with our family. When we had a nanny take the job without telling us about her pregnancy, Robin absolutely backed us and when the time came, found us another nanny without any additional search charge. She has even gone above and beyond, helping a friend of mine find a nanny outside Robin’s usual geography. In fact she did this for us twice! She cares deeply about her work, her clients and the nannys she employs. I would recommend her to anyone looking for top of the line assistance in finding a nanny!

I would like to sing the praises of Robin LeGrand of A Nanny Connection!
I have been one of her nannies for four years and have found hers to be the most fabulous, professional nanny agency out there. Not only has she paired me with great families, she has always done her very best to accommodate my employment needs. She has an in ate ability to match wonderful families with, dare I say, equally wonderful nannies! I am also acquainted with families that have worked with her, and they just can’t say enough about how priceless her service has been to them. I would, and already have, recommend prospective nannies as well as any family looking to find the perfect fit for their child care needs to Robin.

Ive been working with Robin for 5 years… I HIGHLY HIGHLY value her opinion when it comes to her nannies, there is no other nanny business that I have used that equals. The nannies are trustline approved and reliable. Robin will do her very best to accommodate and match the right nanny to the right family.

We had a fantastic experience finding a nanny through Robin and A Nanny Connection. She was extremely helpful through every step of the process, knows all of her nanny’s personally and found us a nanny that has truly become a part of our family over the last 3 years. Would definintely recommend A Nanny Connection!

I can’t say enough about Robin. When our twins were born (yes… TWINS) we had no idea where to turn to for help with them. We knew we wanted someone in home as opposed to day-​care and Robin really did an amazing job of holding our hands and getting just the right nanny for us.
Thank you SO much Robin!
