ROTA Nannies

Your family doesn't fit a traditional schedule, and your childcare shouldn't either.

ROTA nannies aren't just helpful for families with complex schedules - they're game-changing. We find the ones who actually thrive in rotation work.

Complicated schedules need flexible solutions.
That's where ROTA comes in.

ROTA nannies aren't your typical hire-and that's exactly the point. We're talking about professionals who've mastered the art of showing up when you need them most, seamlessly rotating into your family's rhythm without missing a beat. They bring years of hands-on experience (though many have decades under their belts), and they know how to adapt to different households, different schedules, and different family dynamics because they've done it before.

Here's what sets ROTA apart: flexibility without compromise. Every single candidate passes our rigorous vetting process-comprehensive background screening, reference verification, professional credential review, and current CPR and First Aid certification. They arrive with a detailed resume, thoughtful cover letter, verified references, and multiple letters of recommendation in hand. And because we're the only California agency that requires Trustline Registry fingerprinting for all candidates working with children, you know you're getting someone who's cleared every possible hurdle before they ever walk through your door.

ROTA means you get elite-level care exactly when you need it, with professionals who know how to pivot, adapt, and deliver excellence-no matter what your schedule throws their way.

Ready to hire a ROTA nanny?

We're serious about our commitment to matchmaking, and we insist on a personal, one-on-one approach. Your family isn't a form to fill out. Your match shouldn't be either.

Matchmaking
Session

When you invest in a partnership with Seaside Staffing Company, our first step is to have a heart-to-heart, face-to-face conversation about your ROTA nanny needs. We'll talk about your must-haves and your dream list for rotating childcare, and we'll create and review detailed job descriptions. Then, our placement coordinators will get to work on finding your right-fit ROTA candidate.

Candidate
Selection

You'll receive 3 - 5 candidate packages to review, and once you've decided who you want to connect with, we'll set up Zoom interviews* and home trials**.

*In California, all childcare providers, including ROTA nannies, are fingerprinted and registered with the Trustline™ Registry before initial interview, which includes candidates being fingerprinted and registered with DOJ, FBI, California Department of Social Services, and the Central Childcare Index.
**Trial times should not exceed 2 weeks.

Perfectly
Matched Hire

After you've picked your preferred rotating nanny candidate, we'll help put together their job offer with you and run any extra background checks that are needed. All background checks for ROTA nannies include a Social Security number trace, all counties of residence checked for criminal activity, and a DMV report. Initial ROTA candidate packages contain documented references and we scour the web and double check all social media platforms.

Seaside Staffing helped us find the perfect fit for our child!

We are so happy that Seaside Staffing helped us find the most wonderful nanny for our child! Dara took time to get to know our family and what we needed and found us truly the perfect person. She was also so easy to communicate with and worked fast! Every nanny candidate we met with was qualified and professional. I'd recommend this nanny agency to anyone.

"Our nanny is the perfect match"

"Our nanny is the perfect match" Dara and her nanny placement team are professional, responsive, and really do a great job of listening and matching families with well-qualified, professional nannies. Because all the candidates they provided to interview were qualified, I was able to think about who would be the right fit vs. simply qualified and trustworthy.

- SM, Mom

"Everyone was a huge help"

If you are looking for a professional nanny placement agency who also has great business relationships with their clients then this is the place for you! As a professional nanny, I couldn't ask for better support. You won't be disappointed! Best agency I've worked with hands down.

- DR, Mom

THEY CAN RELATE!

I am a professional nanny of 15 years and have never used a nanny agency to find my families until this most recent job search. I reached out to Seaside and one other agency. I was surprised when the other agency didn't ask enough about what I was looking for. I don't even feel like they properly vetted me for the family's safety. When speaking with Dara, her professionalism was immediately evident. She was easy to talk to, yet very straight forward. I felt as though Dara had my best interest as well the families. I told her exactly what I was looking for as far as my rate and ideal schedule. She asked me questions about my parenting style and only sent me families that were compatible with their needs as well as personality. She is a master at nanny matchmaking. I am very happy with my new family. I will recommend Dara to anyone looking to hire a nanny, as well as nannies looking for the right family placement.

HELPS MY NANNY CAREER

I am confident that she contributes not only to my professional nanny career but for the entire San Diego nanny community.

Rotational Nannies - FAQ

What Exactly is a ROTA Nanny?
A ROTA nanny works on a rotation schedule – typically alternating periods of time on duty with periods of time off. Common schedules include two weeks on/two weeks off, one month on/one month off, or other customized rotations that fit your family's needs. During their "on" period, ROTA nannies are fully dedicated to your family, often living in and providing around-the-clock coverage. During their "off" period, they're completely off duty. This arrangement provides families with consistent, dedicated care while giving nannies the extended time off they need to maintain work-life balance.
How is a ROTA nanny different from a regular nanny?
While traditional nannies typically work standard weekday schedules and go home each evening, ROTA nannies work intensive rotation periods and are often live-in during their working rotation. They're experienced professionals who excel at providing consistent care within a condensed timeframe, managing everything from daily routines to travel, activities, and household coordination related to the children. ROTA nannies are uniquely suited for families who need full immersion care for extended periods rather than traditional hourly coverage.
