“Thank God for this company! I needed a nanny for my newborn and 4 and 6 year old girls. I know I wanted someone special and wonderful but I was in a time crunch and I didn’t know where to look. This agency was a lifesaver. They asked me all of the right questions and completely guided me through the process seamlessly. They found me the loveliest, most wonderful, most qualified nanny who is an absolute perfect fit for me and my family! My girls are thrilled and I am so grateful to them. What a true gift for they have for creating a perfect fit for families as this is such an important position. I highly recommend!”-CW, Mother

“I recently utilized this agency to help me find a nanny for my six year old son. I can’t say enough good things about the quality of the service at BAHS. They really listened to my needs, and only sent me candidates who met my criteria and who were really interested in working with my family. The agency’s responsiveness, attention to detail and ability to be discrete was top notch. While I hope our current nanny stays with us as long as we need, I would use this agency again if I ever have additional staffing needs.” -CA, Client

How to successfully integrate a new hire into an established household team?

We cover this in more detail here, but focusing on three key areas: preparation, communication, and transparency. First, ensure your current team is aware someone new is joining, and provide the new hire with a clear understanding of the existing structure. Next, schedule regular check-ins and set clear expectations, including any past learning curves. Finally, provide a household handbook or manual, if possible, to support a smooth transition
Do you place nannies with special skills? Like a second language? Or who can go horseback riding?

Yes! We have a wide range of nannies on our roster with diverse skill sets, including fluency in multiple languages. Families frequently request bilingual nannies to support language development. We have also placed nannies who can horseback ride, ski, teach cooking or baking, and even support musical instruction.
How do we set up a smooth and successful travel arrangement with our nanny?

BAHS has extensive experience placing travel nannies who travel for weeks or even months out of the year with their principals. Set clear expectations from the beginning by discussing pay and expenses, clarifying accommodations, and reviewing the travel schedule in advance. Most importantly, remember that this is not a vacation for your employee.
