Our unconventional and highly proven methods help us select and hire uncommonly good household staffing candidates. We don't automate our matchmaking, and we never jeopardize safety just to speed up the process.
We're not shy
about our honesty
We'll never tell you what you want to hear just because it earns us a fast buck. We're committed to making successful placements – and we're radically honest about every step of the process for both our clients and our candidates.
We help you family
more, worry less
And yes, we did just turn family into a verb – because we've seen all the hard work you've put in to building your success AND your legacy. We make the hiring process seamless and easy, and we handle all of the employment details, from screening and onboarding to salary negotiations, contracts, and more.

Unapologetically obsessed with making life simpler
When we started our boutique household staffing agency in San Diego California in 2004, we started as Seaside Nannies, serving all of San Diego and Los Angeles, as we believed that the secret to perfect matchmaking was all about having real-conversations with every client and every candidate. Two decades later, now a national household staffing company, serving ten cities across the country and we still believe in that idea.
The work we do here at Seaside Staffing Company is never automated, and it's never one-size-fits-all. We take the time to truly know our clients and our candidates, and we make uncommonly good matches because we tailor-fit every step of our process.
We're unapologetic about our commitment to authentic connections and honest conversations, and while you'll never see us trying to become the biggest household staffing company, you'll always see us working hard to remain the best.
Dara advocates for both the nanny and the family, all while making the process so seamless. Her flexibility is unmatched, which is honestly hard to come across these days. As a career nanny, I was just placed by Dara with a family and could not be happier.

"Our nanny is the perfect match"
Dara and her team are professional, responsive, and really do a great job of listening and matching families with well-qualified nannies. Because all the candidates were qualified that they provided to interview, I was able to think about who would be the right fit vs. simply qualified and trustworthy.
- KB, Mom
"Everyone was a huge help"
If you are looking for a professional agency who also has great business relationships with their clients then this is the place for you! You won’t be disappointed! Best agency I’ve worked with hands down.
- DR, Mom
"Always AnAdvocate”
Dara has always fought for my rights as an employee and gotten me where I want to be before a contract is signed. Even during the brief times I wasn't working with Seaside, she always checked in to see how I was doing and really showed she cared. I value this agency so much, so when I find a nanny looking for new opportunities or a family seeking care, I refer them to Seaside wholeheartedly!
- LG, Nanny
A HELPING HAND
When we relocated to Orange County, we were interested in employing a live-in nanny. Since we had never had a live-in nanny before, Seaside literally held hands with us through all of the details to be considered and within only a couple of weeks found the perfect match for our family.

TOP NOTCH
Can't recommend Seaside enough -- they have top notch candidates who are better than anyone I've ever found through the free services, plus they have all of the references, background checks etc. all done for you. Definitely give them a call if you are in need of help!
As our social media manager, Jade Stevenson is one of the primary gatekeepers to our Seaside story.
With a Bachelor’s degree in English Literature and Psychology, Jade is a natural champion of authenticity, and she uses her whimsically pink hair to nudge all of us closer to her magical world of creative expression.
As a kid, Jade discovered she was allergic to more than 60 percent of the food pyramid, and it is in this journey where she began to learn just how important it is to show up as a force of kindness in the world. She holds an unwavering belief in the power of story, and she believes that small acts of compassion can truly spark a movement of positivity and change.
When she’s not showing up with her digital marketing genius at Seaside, Jade can be easily spotted (thanks to her pink hair) tutoring local teens and helping them write the types of college essays that earn acceptance letters from the schools of their dreams.
Equally at home whether she’s amplifying the voices of Black Femmes or losing herself in the quiet stillness of an ancient book of poetry, Jade is a living expression of what it means to fully embrace your truest self. When you meet her, you’ll immediately feel like you’re right at home, and she’ll always help you discover and celebrate the best parts of who you are.
JESSICA HE
Placement Coordinator
Jessica He has spent her entire life stepping feet first into the big, wide world, making every corner of it feel like home – no matter where she’s at.
Earning two Bachelor’s degrees in Chinese language and East Asian Studies, she’s traveled the world to study in monasteries, climb Mount Fuji, and drink tea and coffee with otters. (Yes, that last one is real. Ask her about it.) She’s also served as an ESL teacher, a recruiter, a trainer, and a nanny – always finding ways to work alongside families and children. Today, she brings all her stories and all her experiences to Seaside Staffing Company where she makes the art of perfect matchmaking look flawlessly simple.
When Jessica isn’t in the Seaside office, she’s a busy momma who knows firsthand what it’s like to be in the trenches and need support. Unashamed to claim her sense of humor as one of her greatest talents, Jessica is perpetually positive, fiercely organized, and always seems to find a way to bring levity to the hardest-to-solve problems. Knowing Jessica means you’ll never forget how to laugh, and she’ll give you the courage to live your life to the fullest.
(Want to see her humor in action? Ask her about the time she lived in China and got her Oreos confiscated by a very disappointed nun.)
KIMBERLY BANEY
Placement Coordinator
With an MBA in HR Management and Accounting, Kim might best be described as a people expert.
She spent six years teaching children online in China as an ESL instructor, and with a TESOL certification in her proverbial back pocket, it’s no wonder why she shows up at Seaside every single day with a big, bold view of the world.
Over the last decade, Kim has served as a recruiter and a placement coordinator in the household staffing industry, and she’s learned that while systems are incredibly important, relationships matter more. It’s not uncommon to hear Seaside clients talk to Kim like she’s their best friend. They know she’ll go to the ends of the earth for them (and we’ve seen her do it countless times).
When Kim isn’t at Seaside, she can most likely be found 4-wheeling through the dirt and taking long hikes with her dogs. She’s always up for a great adventure, and she says one of the craziest things she’s ever done is buying an Amish house with no electricity or hot water (besides that one time in high school when she thought it was a great idea to buy a car with a giant British flag painted on the hood).
“The basement of our house used to be a bakery,” she says. “When I’m dreaming about escaping to New Zealand or Scotland, I just head downstairs, take in a deep breath, and imagine myself eating a delicious cinnamon roll baked to sticky-finger perfection.”
