— About Our Mill Valley Service

The trusted nanny agency Mill Valley families call first

A Mill Valley placement starts with the family's real weekly map, from Old Mill, Edna Maguire, and Mill Valley Middle through Tamalpais High, with Marin Country Day and Marin Horizon as common private options. We build each search around those details.

A creative, outdoors-comfortable fit. Mill Valley's culture rewards caregivers who are genuinely at home outside — hiking-capable nannies who can handle Mount Tam afternoons and Stinson Beach weekends as part of normal life.

Art- and music-aware candidates. Families here regularly request nannies who can support the town's creative side — art- and music-aware candidates who fit the household's interests as well as its schedule.

A hand-curated Mill Valley search. Every candidate is selected around the children's ages, the school calendar, and the family's values rather than drawn from an impersonal database.

FAQ

Common questions from Mill Valley families

We start with an in-depth consultation to understand your family's schedule, values, parenting style, and the specific qualities you need in a nanny. We then hand-select TrustLine-certified candidates from our vetted Mill Valley talent pool, present detailed profiles, coordinate interviews, and support you through trial days and offer. Every placement is personally overseen by Robin and our team.

Yes. We place newborn care specialists (NCS) throughout Mill Valley and Marin County. Our NCS candidates specialize in the first 12 weeks of life — sleep shaping, feeding support (breast and bottle), swaddling, infant cues, and supporting postpartum recovery. Many families book a newborn care specialist before baby arrives.

Absolutely. We place live-in nannies, live-out nannies, full-time, part-time, and night nannies across the Bay Area. A live-in nanny is a great fit for families with non-traditional schedules, frequent travel, or twins and multiples. We help you structure private quarters, schedule, and a fair compensation package.

Since 1996 we have specialized in private, high-touch nanny placement for Bay Area families. Every candidate is TrustLine-certified, CPR certified, reference-checked, and background-screened. We never use database matching — every match is hand-curated. The result is long-tenured placements and a quietly excellent reputation in San Francisco, Silicon Valley, the Peninsula, Marin, and the East Bay.

Bay Area nanny rates vary based on experience, education, languages spoken, certifications, and the scope of duties. We share current Mill Valley market rates during your consultation and help you build a competitive offer that attracts long-term, career nannies.

Most Mill Valley placements happen within 1–6 weeks of starting your search, though timelines vary based on the specificity of your needs and start date. We recommend starting your search at least 4–8 weeks before your ideal start date — and earlier for newborn care.
