Best Babysitter San Francisco Near Me

4worldlovers: – thorough screening and background checks including Trustline, DMV, CPR/Tdap/Tb test, and 20 point screening

– knowledgeable, down-to-earth approach every step of the way – including support after nanny starts

Professional AND affordable: Since 2002, Bay Super Nannies (formerly Bay SuperSitters and Nannies), a local, licensed nanny referral agency, has been successfully matching San Francisco Bay area families with the highest quality nannies – currently specializing in the city of SF.

BSN only refers the very best full time nannies… experienced, loving, professional, committed, and reliable, with thorough screening and glowing references from past families… all personally interviewed and screened for compatibility before you meet them (because your time is valuable!).

Start the search with a convenient registration consultation – on the phone, or in your own home (days/eves/wkds available) – to answer your questions and help you form a “nanny wish list”/ job profile…

And the low, easy-to-understand placement fee (which includes all background checks such as DMV, Trustline and criminal checks, etc.) is only due if you hire a great BSN nanny.

If you do hire a great nanny through BSN, the placement fee is a one-time fee… some agencies charge another fee each year that you keep the nanny that you love – but not here!

And that one-fee includes all background checks upon hiring, including criminal check/sex offender check/social security trace/DMV check, Trustline, and helping the nanny get up to date on CPR, Tdap vaccine, and TB test – so you know she is checked and ready to work – all handled for you, with nanny’s IDs/vaccines/background checks mailed to you in the hiring process, for you to keep.

Bay Super Nannies (as Bay SuperSitters and Nannies) was awarded 5 out of 5 stars in Babies by the Bay (2nd edition), and has 5 and 4 star ratings on Yelp and Lilaguide.

Specializing in just one thing: long term, full time nannies (summer nannies, and temporary nannies of 10+ days, are also sometimes available).

Join the hundreds of satisfied past Bay Area families, and let Bay Super Nannies help you find your perfect nanny!

“As first-time parents, my wife and I were nervous and overwhelmed by the daunting process of hiring a nanny for our six-month-old. Becky was very patient and kind while walking us through the process and answered all of our questions.

Emilia was such a dream to work with. She is extremely professional and personable at the same time, which is exactly what you want in an agent. She was so thorough in finding out exactly what I was looking for in a job, and then setting up interviews that mirrored my interests. She went above and beyond to make me feel completely confident and prepared to go on every interview. She was so kind and checked in throughout the entire interviewing process, hiring process, and beyond. She truly cares that she fosters a great fit for not only the family, but the nanny as well! She placed me with a family that I truly love, and I’m so grateful for that. I would highly recommend Alpine Private Staffing whether you are on the hiring side or job seeking side of things. Emilia will find you the perfect fit!

After little success with camps last summer for our 7 year old son, we decided to try a nanny. A colleague recommended contacting Emilia with Alpine Private Staffing. Emilia asked us to put together a vision for the ideal summer, and we came up with a list of activities like swimming, bike riding, etc. Our son also has some behavioral issues, and we needed someone who was willing to take on the challenge to learn how to work with him. Emilia soon found a nanny who was a perfect match! The nanny takes our son to a wide range of activities, swims in the pool with him, helps him practice reading, and provides a nice balance between structure/discipline and compassion. We’re extremely pleased with our experience!

Aunt Ann’s In-House Staffing has accumulated over 60 years of experience successfully matching the personalities and staffing needs of San Francisco Bay Area households with the characteristics and work experience of professional, highly skilled nannies, housekeepers, estate managers, private chefs, personal assistants and more. As a third-generation, family-owned business, we’ve earned the trust and loyalty of both employers and domestic professionals. That’s why we are called upon time and again by established clients as their needs for domestic help expand.

Awarded for High Quality Professional Staffing of Housekeeper, Baby Nurse, Chef, Personal Assistant, Estate Manager, and Nanny Jobs by DEMA

Flexible Staffing to Fulfill Your Needs including Full-time, Part-time, Hourly, and Live-in

Secure and Confidential Interview and Screening Processes, including Rigorous Background Checks

While there are many staffing agencies today, we have been earning our reputation for providing exemplary nanny, housekeeper, private chef, estate manager, and personal assistant services for over 60 years.

Your community trusts the highly competent and discerning Aunt Ann’s team to understand their household staffing needs and successfully match them with compatible domestic and child care partners. We’ve formed lasting relationships with families and domestic service providers throughout the San Francisco Bay Area that we’ve served since 1958:

The Aunt Ann’s team places exceptional domestic professionals in great jobs offered by great families. Part of the reason we can do this is that we set the highest standards in the industry for hiring practices. Our comprehensive screening process protects both our clients and our candidates. In the late 1980s, we were the first in-house staffing agency to include independent background checks as a standard for the industry in screening candidates for placement in private homes and the first agency in the SF Bay Area that required work authorization for agency representation. We accept job orders only from clients who follow wage and labor laws and who offer respect partnerships with resources for wage and labor. We partner with well-respected industry experts and share those resources with our clients and domestic staffing candidates to make sure they have access to wage, labor and payroll experts. When you use Aunt Ann’s In-House Staffing, you can be sure your domestic employment arrangement is mutually respectful and legitimate.

At, Aunt Ann’s In-House Staffing, our goal is to bring together families and domestic professionals who are perfectly suited to each other. Unlike online services, we meet face-to-face with our candidates and our employers to get to know their personalities, working style, and employment preferences. While our application and reference-checking procedures allow us to match skill sets to job duties, it’s the outstanding listening skill of our team members that enable us to discern the perfect fit between our clients and the nannies, personal assistants and housekeepers they seek. It’s our fundamental duty to help candidates find their dream jobs and families to find their dream employees. We love connecting perfectly matched families and domestic professionals!

Aunt Ann’s has a 60-year track record of in-home domestic staffing that has allowed our team to build relationships with three generations of our clients’ family members. A testament to our reliable, consistent customer service is that we often receive phone calls from individuals whose childhood nannies were hired through Aunt Ann’s and who are currently looking to hire a nanny for their children, or from families who loved the housekeeper we matched with them and are now looking for a personal chef or estate manager. Our clients return to us because they know they can trust us to be discreet and consistent in matching them with compatible in-home staffing time and again.

All of Aunt Ann’s domestic and childcare professionals have 2 to 40 years of experience, and many of them have formal training in their area of expertise. We personally interview and comprehensively screen all of our domestic staff candidates, making us your source for trustworthy, competent nannies, housekeepers, estate managers and any other domestic professionals who will interact with your family.
