I had a great experience from start to finish-- Nicola was so kind and helpful and matched me with a wonderful family! I highly recommend teaming up with WC nannies!
I am so pleased with our experience with West Coast Nannies. Our family had a non-traditional schedule request and Nicola was able to place an amazing nanny. I sincerely appreciate her professionalism, experience, and insight.
Nicola was great to work with and found us our nanny of now three years and counting! We had a great experience with her service and responsiveness. Finding a nanny on our own, while caring for twin infants, felt impossible, and she took care of it all for us.The reality with hiring a nanny is that she finds the candidates but you as the family are the hiring employer - so the interviewing responsibility is on you. Be honest with yourself and your candidates about what your familys needs and expectations are. Nicola has great advice and suggestions here! But sometimes, as in any job, employees dont work out. Its a risk of any childcare setting.
Nicola was great to work with. She is kind, patient, and has a great perspective since she has been a nanny and is now a mother. As a nanny, it is crucial to have someone go to bat for you and screen families. She looks out for both parties and cares that they are happy and comfortable. I would recommend her services to anyone.
I used West Coast Nannies to find my first nanny job after working in child care for a few years. Nicola was great to work with. She was a great resource and and very professional. Set me up with a great family that met both our needs. I have told many of my friends about West Coast Nannies who are looking for childcare or a job as a nanny. Nicola is great!
Nicola is a very personable, caring person who goes the extra mile for those she has the opportunity to serve. HIGHLY recommend her and ergo West Coast Nannies. She won’t let you down!
Hiring Nicola was the best thing for our family! When I was heading back to work and needed care for our 6 month old - we lucked out when we found and hired Nicola. From our first interaction I knew she was the right person for us. Why do I say that? Professional, organized, sound judgment, communication - these are the qualities that we liked and saw throughout our time working with Nikki. In the beginning she helped us get set up to make everything legal, get taxes taken out, develop and sign a contract and set up our play space for age appropriate fun and learning. She was extremely organized keeping a daily log with crucial info, expenses, hours and a great monthly neighborhood activity calendar that even my mom friends wanted copies of. She asked lots of questions and listened closely to what we were looking for in a nanny to make sure she was a good fit for us and as we moved forward to ensure she understood and was in line with our parenting philosophy. She brought up issues to us in a timely and professional manner - things as small as picky eating to needing to revise and update our contract. She always showed such good judgment and we often turned to her for her opinion with how to support his learning, creativity, communication and social development. I often bragged to others regarding how lucky we were to have Nicola on our team - and that is exactly how we felt - she was part of our sons team and we trusted her more than anyone else with our son.
We hired Nicola to help us find a nanny before I returned to work from maternity leave. Before we signed our contract, Nicola assured us that she had found a nanny for each family that had previously hired her.After two months of working with our family, Nicola sent us only three candidates who were appropriate to be interviewed in person. Ultimately the nanny we chose was not a good fit after one week in our home. Despite her guarantee to find a replacement nanny under the original finders fee, it seemed as if Nicola stopped looking for candidates. We were desperate for childcare and eventually found a nanny outside of her services.When we informed Nicola that wed found a nanny on our own, and that we were disappointed in her services, she blamed the result on us. She claimed we didnt give her enough feedback, despite numerous emails and conversations about the qualities and qualifications we were looking for in a nanny candidate. We paid Nicola thousands of dollars with nothing to show for it.
Nicola was recently able to help me secure an out of town nanny for a family getaway in Vancouver, Canada. I know its out of the normal services her agency offers, but she was able to connect with a nanny she knows in Vancouver and help us out. We were able to secure a great nanny on short notice for the long weekend. I really appreciate Nicola going out of her way to help us out. If we ever need a nanny here in Seattle, Ill be giving her a call!
Best Nanny Company Around.Nicola is very professional and hard working. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a high quality experience finding their perfect nanny.
Couldnt have asked for a more pleasant experience with West Coast Nannies! My wife and I were looking for a nanny for our 18 month old son. We had been searching for quite some, with no luck and decided to give a nanny agency a shot. Were very, very glad we found Nicola and West Coast Nannies. You can tell shes been in this industry for quite some time, and its very evident that she spent some time as an educator! We wish we could have just hired her to be our nanny for our son! Couldnt have asked for a better experience throughout the entire process. Communication was always prompt, Nicola was open and honest about everything. She told us what to expect and really made the decision hard when it came to finally choosing a nanny, because all the candidates were so qualified. We couldnt be happier with her services... It doesnt hurt that shes the most affordable of all the agencies we looked into! Thanks again Nicola!
I really enjoyed my time working with Nicola. She was very helpful and supportive throughout my time working with her to find families. The family I was paired with are now my life long extended family. Thank you for that Nicola!
We love our nanny! West Coast Nannies was instrumental in ensuring the success of our childcare arrangement. I was in a bind since I hadnt planned on going back to work so soon so I had nothing in place. Nicola told us not to stress or worry, as she navigated through the process expediently. She worked with our deadline and we are so happy with the outcome. Thank you!
Nicola is wonderful to work with, and her passion for her work is clearly evident in the optimal service she provides. Highly recommend!
