Testimonials

“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

“If you are looking for excellent and professional staffing in your home, British American Household Staffing is the way to go. They are very prompt, courteous and friendly with great respect for prospective clients as well as candidates.” -CAR, Newborn Care Specialist

“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
