OC Nannies

I desperately needed a nanny for my kids that I could trust. OC Nannies provided the perfect person for our family. Rocio is so professional and knowledgable that she made the whole experience non stressful. I would recommend this agency to anyone looking for home help!

OC Nannies quickly provided us with great candidates to fill our nanny position. Excellent and professional service.

I’m going to be very honest here because I think it will help others.
First of all this service is very expensive. We had to pay a finder fee the same amount of the nanny’s first month salary. These are more expensive workers than you could find on your own. However that is why you pay an agency– to line people up and screen them for you. And you hope that by paying more you get a better quality worker.
They did get a number of interviews to our house pretty quickly. The company itself is very professional. No complaints in that department .
Although some real losers popped up for interviews, like the lady who cried during her interview and the rude woman who showed up half an hour early. I think that is the nature of the beast though.
It appeared that despite the sketchy applicants, there were a few decent ones. And again, they already had background checks plus references for us to contact. We also used
and it supplied very unprofessional, unreliable people. We liked a lady who reminded me of a sweet Mexican grandma sent by this agency.
This nanny we paid dear money for suddenly quit after a few months for a really absurd sounding reason. She was actually pretty good. Great cleaner and ok with the kids. Better cleaner though. My son would be wandering around the house unsupervised while she was doing a great job cleaning the kitchen. In fact she also was a maid. I didn’t appreciate when she left early one day to clean someone else’s house.
To be fair, OC nannies does have a policy where if it doesn’t work out within about 6 months, they find a new person for free. Nice. But you’ve still put in time and effort with the first nanny. And it’s hard for the kids to adapt again to another stranger.
They did send out more interviews to find a replacement. Again an assortment of losers showed up among a few ok ones. When we asked for more they seemed to scrape the bottom of the barrel.
So we got the replacement. She was ok at first. Better with the kids than at cleaning, though not a big deal. But an attitude eventually showed.
She was stuck in a rut. Each family is different and unique. It seemed to become a problem that she couldn’t adapt to a new, different family. And she thought she knew the right way and knew better than the parent/​employer.
I’m sorry but an uneducated nanny is not in a position to school me on child rearing.
You are coming into the home of someone else. That is not easy for either side.
Everyone has different parenting styles. This attitude that you know best when you really don’t is so rude when you are getting paid hard earned money.
She was a highly religious lady, very overbearing and strict with children. I am not any of those things. One day out of left field she just totally snapped on me about how she disagreed with how I ran my house.
I couldn’t have this person in my house or around my kids. She was possessive and controlling of my child. It was just creepy. This was the second one so the time limit was up to get yet another free replacement.
But I don’t really fault OC nannies other than feel ripped off. Truth is there are a lot of loons out there who may be loving towards kids but get into power battles with the parents. Or have some major cultural issues after 25 years of being here. You’ll find this in any pool of prospective childcare workers.
This agency did their job and was professional. But we are out tons of money. From paying salaries higher than average and the finder fee for something that ultimately didn’t work out.
We ended up putting my son in an early starting preschool which he is absolutely thriving in. Just a learning experience for us. Hope this helps another parent unsure what to do.

As a mom, I have been very impressed by this agency on numbers fronts. They are very professional and ethical which is always a concern when you use an agency. I have interacted with them on numbers occasions and been very impressed. One thing I have always worried is that an agency could contact my nanny in 3+ years to recruit them for higher paying jobs. I have seen just the opposite. They are very respectful to parents and nannies and upholding high standards which is very impressive and rare. They are helpful and great advisors to parents. I would highly recommend.

I was in search of a housekeeper to clean my house, I have never had a housekeeper before and it wasn’t sure how to go about it. I have a very busy work schedule and don’t have a lot of time to clean my home. I would like to have friends and family over to visit sometimes but always felt embarrased.
After reading some of the reviews on OC Nannies I decided to give them a call. I felt very comfortable because I was able to get resumes and references on the housekeepers before choosing. I was very pleased to have my home cleaned. It’s been 4 months now and I am happy to say that it has been consistent and my home is always clean. I have entertained friends and family in my home since the first time I had my housekeeper, and everyone is always impressed how clean my home has been.
Thank you so much for your services and I am grateful to have found you!
