— About Our Orinda Service

The trusted nanny agency Orinda families call first

An Orinda placement is grounded in the family's real school route, from Glorietta, Sleepy Hollow, Wagner Ranch, and OIS to Miramonte High. We use that map to define the experience and schedule the role requires.

Care for a full Lamorinda afternoon. Sports across Lafayette and Moraga, swim at Soda Center, and Acalanes-feeder enrichment can make the hours after school especially busy. We look for nannies who can keep those transitions calm and organized.

Built for two- and three-child families. Many Orinda households need a caregiver who can manage siblings at different ages and stages. We match candidates around the children's individual needs as well as the combined family calendar.

Long-tenured career placement. Full-time career nannies commonly stay with Lamorinda families for years. Our Orinda searches prioritize the compatibility and commitment needed for that lasting relationship.

— Inside Orinda

Neighborhoods, schools, and daily life. Orinda families live across Sleepy Hollow, Glorietta, and the Country Club area, attending the highly rated Orinda Union SD (Glorietta, Sleepy Hollow, Wagner Ranch, OIS) and Miramonte High. Downtown Orinda, the Orinda Country Club, and the Caldecott shape daily life.

Who we typically place in Orinda. Lamorinda placements through Orinda are usually two- or three-child families with active after-school schedules across Lafayette and Moraga sports, swim at Soda Center, and Acalanes-feeder enrichment. Long-tenured full-time career nannies are common.

FAQ

Common questions from Orinda 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 Orinda 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 Orinda and the East Bay. 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 Orinda market rates during your consultation and help you build a competitive offer that attracts long-term, career nannies.

Most Orinda 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.
