I have used Capitol Park Nannies (Rachel) twice and she was extremely thorough and was very careful to pre-screen everyone extensively before I met them. I have twins and Rachel found exceptional candidates with multiples experience, one even being a twin herself. Finally, when my nanny was ill and could not come in, Rachel provided a replacement immediately. I highly recommend Capitol Park Nannies.

Simply the best agency around. They are very honest and work hard to find the best Nanny and not just fill a position with just anyone. The background checks are honest and thorough and the nannies are carefully screened before being sent out. And all references are contacted by the agency ahead of time so that the family doesn’t have to do that themselves. This is the only agency I would recommend around here.

We first used Capitol Park Nannies last year when we ended up in a pinch and needed a sitter for a full day on short notice. I found CPN online and reached out to Rachel to explain our dilemma. In addition to our baby, we also have 2 dogs, one of whom is very high maintenance. In no time at all, Rachel found us an awesome sitter for our event who was not only amazing with our baby but also immediately made friends with our crazy dog. We still regularly use that sitter as well as another sitter Rachel referred to us and we and our son adore both women. The overall experience has been great, especially for a first time mom who was very nervous about leaving her baby with a stranger. Rachel is always very responsive when I need someone, even when it’s short notice. She vets all sitters thoroughly and the quality of people she has in her database is really high. We signed up with another agency as well when we first needed help and the one person we met from that agency was not even in the same galaxy as Rachel’s sitters. I would 100% recommend Capitol Park Nannies.

Rachel is simply amazing. I used her service to find a job last year and the process was easy, organized, thorough, and fun! I instantly connected with Rachel as a person and I felt she knew exactly what I needed and wanted in a job. I honestly felt like I was her only client which is such a rare trait to find. She was able to match me quickly with a family that was a great fit and was a seamless liaison to get us started on the right track. She’s professional, compassionate, experienced, and the only nanny agency I recommend.

This review is about three years overdue. I contacted Rachel in June of 2014 when I became pregnant with my second child. She was the only agency in town at the time, and her process was leaps and bounds better than Care.com or other online search engines for caregiving placement. Her interview process is two-sided; she interviewed our family as intensely as she does her nannies. She explained that she has an ethical responsibility to her nannies as well as her clients, and will not place any employee knowingly in a hostile or unworkable environment. Two out of the three nannies I have employed through Rachel were amazing– one moved, one I fired for absenteeism (not amazing), and my current nanny, who is fifteen months into the job. Even though I ended up having to fire one nanny, Rachel placed me with a temp nanny immediately until I could find and hire my current employee. This process is only appropriate for people who are prepared to act like a real boss– you have to treat your employees ethically, pay them reasonably (and hopefully legally), communicate well, and do your due diligence. So if you’re not into all that, I’d advise you to look elsewhere. But if you are, you will likely be rewarded by the experience of having top quality and professional care taken with your most precious possessions– your children. And isn’t that the whole point?

Capitol Park Nannies is the best and most professional agency in Sacramento. Rachel is incredible at what she does! She is flexible, reliable, and truly cares about finding you the best match. Capitol Park Nannies only picks the most qualified nannies, who undergo a thorough screening process, to ensure your child/children receive the best care. I can not say enough about my wonderful experience with Rachel!

I am beyond grateful to have found Capitol Park Nanny Agency. It’s been a little over a year and I have been completely impressed by their service. Rachel is fast to respond, always available to answer questions and puts the care into matching families with a highly qualified super-nanny. Date night, permanent or temporary nannies, every single one has been a breath of fresh air. Knowing that they have all gone through Rachel’s​ process and training gives me all of the reassurance in the world that my kids will be well cared for while we are away. Her nannies are caring, compassionate, HIGHLY qualified, dependable, professional, fun, attentive and all around AMAZING!

The owner Rachel, has been truly amazing to work with. She makes sure that all her clients needs are met and she always has a hand in making sure the matches between nannies and families go smoothly. The vetting process for the nannies is extensive and the families really know what they’re looking for after talking with Rachel to figure out their needs. Working with Rachel has been a pleasure.

I wouldn’t think to use any other agency! Rachel at Capitol Park Nannies so is helpful and responsive. She listens to your needs and places nannies based on what both the nanny and family are looking for. Don’t waste your time using other services, Rachel is who you need! In the past I have tried care.com and you don’t get the same value of people as you do with Rachel.

Working with Capitol Park Nannies is amazing! I met the owner, Rachel, when I was a free lance part time baby sitter and she quickly helped me become a well represented professional! The screening process for both nannies and families is thorough but simplified which makes the process super easy. I’ve been delighted to work with several different families and truly enjoy what I do. Thanks CPN!

I had a wonderful experience using Capitol Park Nannies. Rachel, the owner, was able to accommodate my very last-minute request for a part-time nanny and gave me two highly qualified nannies to choose from within less than 24 hours. We used Diane, and she was an absolute delight to work with, caring and loving toward our kids, and kept our household running smoothly. I highly recommend giving them a call and recommend them to my friends any chance I get.

I highly recommend Capitol Park Nannies! I have been a full time nanny for the past 10 years. I moved to Sacramento last year and was looking for temp work while finishing up my degree. I researched many of the nanny agencies in Sacramento and landed on CPN. Rachel is absolutely amazing. She took her time to extensively interview me, was patient with my long list of cities that she would need to run background checks on, and was patient with my references that were a tad hard to get ahold of. While it was a lengthy process to join her roster, it has been the best experience. Rachel cares about both her families and her nannies, constantly checking in to make sure everyone is happy and things are going well. The families that I have worked for through CPN have been some of the sweetest I have ever met and have raved about how much they love Rachel as well. As a career nanny I highly recommend applying to be represented by Rachel. However, know that the process is long and not everyone makes it unfortunately, but don’t be deterred! Go out and gain more experience and then come back, some things take time. And as a nanny I highly recommend CPN to families. I was thoroughly interviewed and screened and made current on my CPR certifications. You can trust that Rachel makes sure she is only sending solid candidates. She really is the best around!!

If I could give Rachel and Capitol Park Nannies more than 5 stars I would! Rachel went above and beyond to help my family and I when we brought our first son home almost 9 months ago. She helped place us with the perfect (I mean, seriously perfect) nanny/post-partum doula, who ended up staying with us while I transitioned back to work. She made what can be a very stressful process much easier by doing all of the vetting for us (background checks, making sure shots and cpr training are up to date, references), setting us up with the interviews, negotiating the contract and more. If you are in need of any sort of child care please give Rachel a call. You may pay a little more than if you use another service or find someone on your own, but the money is well spend (knowing that your little one is in good/trusted hands is priceless!) Thank you Rachel for all that you have done for our family!

We used Capitol Park Nannies to find a wonderful part-time nanny for our girls. I travel a lot for work so knowing I have someone I trust is invaluable. I felt overwhelmed having to look for someone myself and Rachel (the owner) listened to all of my fears, requests and was incredibly empathetic and helpful in guiding and supporting me through the entire process. I completely trust her judgment and would recommend Capitol Park Nannies to anyone interested in finding an amazing nanny fully vetted and personally matched to their family style.

Capitol Park Nannies is without a doubt, the best nanny agency in the Sacramento area. Rachel is reliable, flexible, and thorough in everything that she does, for both nannies, and families. Rachel and her staff go to great lengths to ensure that all nannies and families are matched based on their specific qualifications and needs. CPN goes above and beyond in their screening processes and background checks, which is a huge plus! Working with CPN has been an amazing experience, and I highly recommend them for all of your childcare needs!

I would recommend Capitol Park Nannies to anyone looking for a dedicated nanny and the support and tools to make finding them easy. We considered many options when looking for childcare and as soon as we spoke with Rachel at CPN knew it was the right fit! Rachel was incredibly helpful in working with us to identify our needs and match us with potential nannies to meet those needs. We interviewed multiple candidates and loved each one. We could not be happier with our nanny and the continued support of CPN for our childcare needs!!!

We came into town for a wedding last weekend. We really wanted to have some adult time at the wedding. We were very nervous about leaving our child with a stranger. My friend suggested a nanny agency. I felt great after speaking on the phone with Capitol Park Nannies. They assured us of their extremely thorough vetting process. We were actually able to see the resume, references and the background check for the nanny they sent. I felt great about that. The nanny was on time and extremely professional. My daughter took to her instantly and it was obvious this nanny knew what she was doing. I felt comfortable right away and was able to enjoy time with friends I had not seen in 10 years. I highly recommend Capitol Park Nannies.

We have been so happy with the “in a pinch” service that CPN provides. It has been truly a lifesaver- when my little one was sick and couldn’t go to school, but I couldn’t be away from work, Rachel found a professional, sweet, caring nanny to help us out. I have total confidence in their screening process..such a relief to have this option. We will continue to use this service and recommend it to others!

Capitol Park Nannies has helped us with childcare for our daughter for a good portion of 2016 and have had an amazing experience with them. Rachel (the owner) has been incredibly helpful, has sought to deeply understand our needs and our family, and find people who align with us. She recognizes that every family is different, and every nanny is different – and it’s about finding shared values and the right “fit”. I would highly recommend her and her agency to anyone who is in need of finding a nanny. Rachel has unique insight to both sides of the relationship as she’s been a nanny and a parent with a child needing a nanny. Her vetting process is thorough and she’s extremely professional. I have been very impressed with her agency and would recommend them to anyone seeking a nanny. Thank you, Rachel!

After being put in a difficult position when our previous nanny quit without notice, we turned to using a nanny agency. We tried another local agency and were not impressed by the candidates or how they were presented. We were very impressed with Rachel and the nanny she found for us. We truly have a wonderful nanny who we trust. I would recommend Capitol Park Nannies to any parents looking for an excellent nanny.

My wife and I both work full time but we were not ready to send our son off to daycare. We called Capitol Park Nannies because a good friend of my wife’s highly recommended them to us. The nanny we were matched with was a perfect fit for our family and she was great with our son! She always went above and beyond and we always had the support we needed. Now I feel the need to tell anyone who is looking for a nanny that we highly recommend them as well!

When my current nanny had to take a sudden medical leave, I called Capitol Park Nannies for help. I needed a nanny for a toddler and a baby – stat! I have a busy, high pressure job, and didn’t have time to sort through tons of applications or website profiles, conduct all the background checks, and screen the applicants. Yet, at the same time, I had to be totally confident that I was hiring someone that I literally trust with my children’s lives. CPN nailed it. Within days, I had a dossier of information on multiple candidates, all pre-screened to my requirements and with background clearance. All that I had to do was interview the top choices. I had a great nanny within about a week. Since I occasionally work from home, I had many opportunities to see the nanny’s genuine, caring interactions with my children. A year after our temporary nanny’s position ended, the children (now 2 and 4) still ask about her. I consider us really lucky to have had the assistance of CPN in finding the perfect fit for our family – fast.

We just moved to the area and had an unexpected event that required childcare for most of the day. We don’t know many people here little own trust anyone with our child. Being that I just “retired” from being a nanny myself the past 14yrs, I have pretty high standards for childcare so using websites isn’t my first choice especially since my career was through a nanny agency. I thankfully found Capitol Park who was referred to me by my agency. Rachel was amazing and super helpful! She made me feel at ease and not worry about who was going to take care of my child when we were dealing which such extenuating circumstances. The day went great and the nanny did an awesome job with our daughter! We’re so grateful they got us out of a bind and were so professional. I will definitely use them again!

I found CPN by a random Google search and I hit the jackpot! I was able to be placed with reliable, kind, available help within days! As a new mom, I was frantic and confused and would not have survived without CPN. Good child are is invaluable and Capitol Park Nannies has the best help you can find.

I was in a pinch and needed a Nanny for my niece & nephew who were in town, it was a last minute need and Capitol Park Nannies came highly recommended to me. Rachel was professional and so helpful, found me a Nanny for the night so we could keep our plans. It was amazing, and we felt at ease. I would recommend CPN to anyone in need for the night, or long term. Give it a try, you wont regret it!

I've worked for Rachel at Capitol Park Nannies through placement with various families and find her to be honest, approachable, and professional.  I especially appreciate her dedication and concern for both the well-being of the nannies as well as the families seeking care.

As a nanny, it was refreshing to work with someone who understood all the aspects of what it takes to be placed with a great family.

Thank you, Rachel, for all that you do! I appreciate that when I'm looking for a job, I don't have to worry, because I have you!

Sammy said they all already LOVE Emelia and she’s perfect too! You did a terrific job in matching them up. I really appreciate your time and I REALLY appreciate this service you provide. You have saved our family. Many thanks again!

We had a terrific first day with Mindy. She is a gem. I’m very hopeful that we will have a long and wonderful relationship with her. Thank you again! It’s been a pleasure working with you and I’m delighted to sing you and your agency’s praises here in Sacramento. Please feel free to use my name as a reference, should your agency ever need a reference.

Aly is SO amazing. I can’t thank you enough. She is so caring and loving toward V and seems to enjoy interacting with him! We are so grateful for your help in matching us. The peace of mind we have regarding our son’s safety is priceless!

Capitol Park Nannies developed a deep understanding of my family, values, and needs in order to find a nanny that was a great fit.

The overall experience was fantastic. G was happy and content with Katie before we even left the house. She knew how anxious I was as a mom leaving her baby with a babysitter for the first time and sent me a picture with an update. That let me relax at the dinner we were at. Katie was fabulous and I would definitely want to use her again.

We just wanted to say thanks for everything! We SO appreciate all of your wonderful nannies and feel so lucky to have Capitol Park Nannies in our lives.

Everything was terrific. Your fast response to my last-minute request was so impressive and huge in relieving anxiety for me (I left last night for an important work trip, so help last night with L was huge). Jackee was terrific. She asked great questions, so I didn’t have to stress about telling her everything. L had fun with her. She also helped with laundry and dishes and some tidying up, which was so nice to come home to. I could tell she had a lot of experience, as she was comfortable and confident and happy to offer advice or ideas if I asked. I am so so happy that I found your service and I’m grateful you have such knowledgeable staff.

Savannah was great. Super sweet and on it. Thanks so much for helping me out with the last-minute nanny. I so appreciate your service! Thanks again!

Katherine was absolutely wonderful! She is a very patient person and has an air about her that creates a sense of comfort, even upon first meeting her. She communicated really well, especially when my 1-year-old was having a difficult time. She was very flexible and adapted to the situation very quickly. We would love to welcome her into our home again, should the need arise. She is a great nanny and a hard worker. Thank you so much for your service again. It is such a relief to know that we can rely on all of your nannies.

All the nannies were wonderful! The parents were very happy with how well they interacted with the little ones. It was a relief that they were very comfortable with the nannies.

I would highly recommend Capitol Park Nannies to anyone moving to the Sacramento area. I've been working as a nanny for eighteen years and this was my first experience with an agency. Rachel made my transition from Chicago significantly less stressful. She listened to my concerns and what I was looking for. She quickly set up interviews and I was hired on by an amazing family before I even moved. Rachel continues to be a dependable friend and resource.

When my son was born, I was a mess. Far from family and friends and with my husband working night and day, I needed help. Rachel saved my sanity. Communication with her was encouraging and easy, with assurances that I was going to be okay and that she would find the perfect nanny for us. And boy did she. Stephanie was the ideal nanny for our family: beyond competent, thoughtful, and more helpful than I could have hoped for. In all, we were lucky enough to have Stephanie with us for 3 months before we moved to Oregon. I credit Rachel and Stephanie with my little family’s survival in those new and overwhelming times. My only regret is that I didn’t call Rachel sooner when I was struggling and needed an extra hand. When we returned to Sacramento for a wedding this year, I didn’t hesitate to contact Rachel to see if she could help us find a babysitter for our now 2 1/2 year old son. Maria to the rescue! Our son, the clingiest child I know, ditched me the moment Maria sat down on the floor to play cars with him. My husband and I walked out the door to an “okay bye” from our kid and had a carefree and lovely time with our friends at the wedding. We feel so lucky that our son has had such sweet and dedicated caretakers at these two stages of his life.

Thank you so much! You have the BEST nannies! My son loves everyone so much and I do not have to worry. Thank you again!

My name is Arielle and I reached out to Capitol Park Nannies back in 2015 when my oldest daughter was 2 months old. I have been working with her agency ever since--and one more baby girl later.

Not only did we meet our very own Mary Poppins through Capitol Park Nannies over two years ago, but we have also regularly used the nannies we meet through CPN for babysitting and nanny coverage. Our current nanny is an invaluable part of our family, and I trust all of our babysitters with just about anything that could come up. I work in San Francisco and my husband works in emergency medicine, so we rely heavily on capable, trustworthy, and qualified childcare.

Capitol Park Nannies has been a great partner and source for peace of mind in our family. I tell any and everyone who will listen that our quality of life is 100% attributed to having our nanny, and working with Capitol Park Nannies for almost all of our childcare needs!

The kids, ages 3.5 and 1, LOVED Naomi. We checked in throughout our time away and sent photos to Naomi to share with the kids. She provided feedback on how they were doing and was very complimentary of the children’s behavior. When it stopped raining over the weekend, Naomi made sure to take them outside where she filmed our 3 yr old stepping into puddles with his rain gear on and having fun. The feedback from our toddler was that Naomi was very nice and he had a lot of fun with her. He said he liked her very much and when asked if he would want to see her again, he gave an enthusiastic “Yes!” While we didn’t request that Naomi do any additional work while at the home, she vacuumed, cleaned the counters and bathrooms, and did the laundry. The sheets were changed and were ready for our return.We can’t say enough about how pleased we were, but more importantly, how confident we are when using a service like Capitol Park Nannies - as the professionalism and kindness we experienced with Naomi was top-notch.

The staff at CPN are nothing short of exceptional. The interview process is in-depth and goes so quickly and smoothly. I was placed with the family I dearly wanted and they are such gems. I highly highly recommend CPN to any nanny or parent. They go above and beyond to ensure that the families and nanny both are happy. So incredibly grateful I found CPN. I know you will be too!

Rachel is absolutely amazing! I have known and worked with her for six years. She is very easy to communicate with and has done an outstanding job at understanding my needs as a nanny. She is always prompt, thorough, and efficient in placing me with a family that met my needs, as well as the families. She has always kept it professional, always making me feel welcomed. She has placed me with families who have ended up being more like family even after my job is done. She has been professional throughout the entire process, and I highly recommend Capitol Park Nannies, the best-est agency in Sacramento.
