Thoughtfully matched nannies for San Francisco
& Bay Area families.
We connect families with experienced, thoroughly vetted care professionals, helping you find the right nanny with confidence.
Every family’s care needs look different. Yours will too.
Whether you choose shared, full-time, or part-time nannies, we ensure each one is personally vetted and matched to your family.
Nanny share
One exceptional nanny, thoughtfully shared between two families — an affordable way to give your children personalized care alongside a familiar friend.
Full-time nanny
A dedicated nanny (30+ hours a week) who becomes a consistent, trusted presence in your child’s life. We match experienced, background-checked nannies to your family’s schedule, values, and needs.
Part-time nanny
Flexible part-time care (up to 30 hours a week) for families who need trusted support a few days a week or during set hours — vetted to the same standard as our full-time placements.
Kind words from our clients.
As a seriously experienced nanny with a deeply caring heart, Evi is perfectly positioned to assess similar qualities in nanny candidates. She took the time to get to know me and my newborn and made great suggestions on the type of care we should be seeking. SF Nannies presented great candidates and once identified our top candidate helped us move quickly with background checks and a contract sample. I highly recommend their services! Going with a big agency won't get you the same care and attention - not to mention personalized service!

Undertaking the nanny search on our own was daunting and difficult. SF Nannies took the time to get to know our family and understand our childcare needs. They sent us amazing candidates and were there to support us through every step of the process. They were always patient with my questions and very prompt in their responses (even responding evenings and weekends). From interview tips, reference calls, background checks, and advice on how to best structure our trial days, they did it all. For any family embarking on their caregiver search, I would highly recommend SF Nannies.

We had a wonderful experience working with SF Nannies during our search for a full-time nanny in San Francisco. Orshi and Evi were thoughtful, responsive, and incredibly supportive throughout the process. They took the time to understand what we were looking for and introduced us to several strong candidates, ultimately helping us find a fantastic match for our family. Their guidance was truly invaluable during what can otherwise feel like an overwhelming process. We're very grateful for all of their help and would absolutely recommend them to other families!

We've hired nannies for our own children, and we've done the job ourselves — with training as a nanny, postpartum doula and certified infant sleep consultant along the way. SF Nannies grew out of both experiences.
Founded on experience from both perspectives.
