about us

 

Providing child care to families in Marin County since 1984

What Makes Us Unique?

Rent-a-Parent Services is a child care referral and consulting agency that has been serving families since 1984. We don’t cover the whole Bay Area which allows us to focus more on Marin families and nannies. We’ve been told that the personal attention you receive is a bonus in using us. We have families and nannies that have been using our service for many years enabling us to create strong personal ties. We support you and the nanny after the placement – we are always available for consultation at no charge. In addition, we offer a unique replacement guarantee to ensure that you have peace of mind. Ask us for more details about this guarantee.

We always strive to provide you with the best quality of service and best sitters/nannies available. Our goal is to provide you with a nanny you can trust and depend on as well as being a good match for your child. We specialize in placing people – this is what we do on a daily basis, saving you valuable time and energy.

We welcome you to contact us either by phone, email, or by appointment only.

RENT-A-PARENT SERVICES

what our clients are saying...

“We have 3 active boys and over the years we’ve used Rent a Parent many times.  Each of the sitters we have used has been thoughtful, kind, and patient.  Watching our 3 boys is no small task!  On each occasion Rent a Parent has sent a sitter with ample experience.  My husband and I feel comfortable about entrusting our children with the kind, well-chosen sitters that Rent a Parent provides.”
