FAQs
To begin the process, please upload your resume and a recruiting director will be in touch within 24 hours. Once we have reviewed your resume we will request a phone conversation, provided your resume reflects the requirements we have listed for each field of service. If the phone conversation is successful, we will request a face to face interview. If the interview goes well and there is a fit, we will call all references and finish the registration process to get you on board for representation to our clients. We require Trustline™ Registry for all childcare providers or candidate working within a household with children.
It can happen right away or it could take several weeks. The speed of finding a position with Seaside is dependent on several factors including supply and demand and the fit between clients and candidates.
We support the greater San Diego, Orange County and Los Angeles areas.

Most of our candidates come to us via word of mouth through the community or recommended by their past employers. Some find us online through various search engines and social media platforms.
After we review submitted resumes, we will request a phone call with qualified candidates. If the initial phone call goes well and the candidate meets our requirements, we will request a face to face interview. We require a cover letter, letters of recommendation, 3-6 phone numbers for references, all social media URL’s, and the candidate's DMV record.
We review all letters of recommendation, social media platforms, call and document references associated with the candidate. All Seaside childcare providers are required to be fingerprinted with the Trustline™ Registry before being submitted to our clients. Seaside does not work with candidate with prior DUIs, felonies or misdemeanors.
Trustline™ Registry is California’s background check for in-home childcare providers. All Seaside Nannies and Newborn Care Specialists are required to register before being submitted to our clients. The candidate's fingerprints are filed with the DOJ, the FBI, the California Central Childcare Index and the California Department of Social Services. We encourage you to learn more about this valuable service by visiting http://trustline.org/.
Once a client intends to hire a candidate, Seaside performs additional background checks. We run a Social Security number trace checking every county that candidate has lived in for criminal activity. Seaside also offers extra services such as a credit report, sexual offender investigation as well as education and job verification for an additional fee.
The process takes between one week to eight weeks, depending on the difficulty of the search and the availability of candidates that matches your needs.
