I wanted you to know how wonderful you were to work with in our nanny search. We are so thankful you put us in touch with Connie –she’s a perfect nanny for our baby. Your responsiveness and professionalism made the whole process less stressful.
Megan, Larkspur
Each time your sitters were great. It was wonderful to walk out the door with my daughter happily engaged, both ladies did a great job keeping her busy despite the indoor weather. And the house was picked up to boot!
Brigid, San Rafael
Your service is top notch. Monica was so sweet and professional – my whole family raved about her. We would love to work with Rent a Parent again.
Lisa, Ross
Additional Testimonials
Nanny Services
“I wanted to let you know how wonderful and seamless the last three months have been with our nanny. She’s kept me on this side of sanity and made it possible for the kids to juggle homework and after school activities and for me to hold down a day job! The kids adore her and she has been totally flexible as my schedule is always a moving target. I’m not sure how I would survive without her.”

Visiting Family
“I wanted to think you for all of your help with our children when we were in California. Both of our kids took to Katie immediately and she left a lasting and positive impression. Having Katie made it so easy for us to relax and enjoy ourselves. Thank you for helping to make our trip to the Bay Area such a success!”

Hotel Job/Wedding
“I must say you all are amazing! You helped make our whole trip perfect. Now that I am back in Hong Kong, not only am I suffering from post wedding blues and missing my family, but I am missing Amy and Barbara. I wish I always vacationed in Marin so that they could be a regular part of my family’s lives. I was incredibly impressed with their professionalism and care. They taught me a lot and completely spoiled me.”

Party Help
“We needed a sitter to occupy the 1 yr. old birthday boy while we prepared for 50+ guests. She was amazing with my son and when he went down for a nap she came into the kitchen and helped frost the cupcakes, made pasta salad, washed dishes (without even being asked). I definitely want her to come back very soon.”
​
- Holly, Mill Valley
​
“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.”

“Maria was awesome! We were very happy with her, the kids were in good hands and she even cleaned up my husband’s mess in the kitchen! You always send the best people. Thank you for providing a superior service.”

- Susan, Tiburon

“Thank you so much for your wonderful and life-saving (or at least date-saving, which means marriage saving) service over the last 5 years.”

- Cindy Mill Valley
​
“Working with Rent-a-Parent is truly a pleasure. I know the agency listens to my needs as well as the family’s. Jobs are tailored to fit what I want in a very well organized and clear manner. Rent-a-Parent is a caring and thoughtful service built on positive relationships.”

"I just want to drop you a note and say how wonderful both Beatriz & Cynthia are. Cynthia was an absolute joy and she’s so engaged. Beatriz was amazing as well and it was so nice of her to come out with the baby to the event for a bit so he could meet some of my close friends.
Thank you so much for all your support, quick replies, and for being able to help us get coverage. I cannot tell you how much it was appreciated (especially the last-minute extra coverage with Cynthia) and I cannot say more compliments about how wonderful our experience with the Rent-a-Parent was. Thank you again!"
