I thought this was a great agency, but based on their reply back, clearly not. The fact that this agency says this "We found you to be a very sweet, kind and thoughtful person. But we were not getting you interviews so we felt it was in both of our best interests to move on." So this agency was indeed ignoring me? Why not respond back and let me know what the issue was?
So clearly they have no idea how to communicate. Also, you are questioning why I haven't found something yet. Well I moved to California January 2nd 2022 to work with a celebrity family, within 3 weeks got a call that my dad was in the ICU with covid and passed away 3 weeks later on February 22nd 2022. So I was taking time off, but still applying for work because I knew I needed to get back to it after some time off and healing.
Since you were so interested in knowing my business, sure, I threw it out there. Kindness goes a long way, and many people are going through one thing or another. I am more than happy to move on, this agency is clearly not the kind of people I want presenting me to any family, when they are clearly focused on the wrong thing. Just sad! (My original review) I thought this agency was a good one, but I was wrong.
These past few weeks/months I have applied for several jobs with absolutely no reply back. I am fully signed up with this agency since I believe 2019 when I went on an interview with a family. Since then I haven't had any luck with them. It makes no sense to have all these amazing jobs, but then try to apply to them and are ignored. So either they need to hire more people to accommodate those looking for work, or they are just not a good agency. With that being said, I'll finally just move on. I'm not wasting anymore time with them. Best wishes to all who are looking, but this agency isn't it.

I had such a positive and validating experience with Hometown Nannies. As busy as they were, they were responsive and helpful, even on the weekend. I was able to secure a nanny job with a wonderful couple and I am so excited. It was life changing for me and I have Jayne and her reliable team to thank

I was trying to get a nanny position with them, I don't understand why people treat someone on the phone really nasty. Tried to make another day FaceTime appointment telling this lady that I couldn't do on the day that they wanted and she hanged up on me. Like who cares! I have a impeccable resume, and I can get a job any where out there. Maybe is time for this lady to retirement.

Hometown Nannies is an amazing agency! I started out with them a while back and I can honestly say they have placed me with the best families I've worked for in my long career. They were thorough with the interview process, and they didn't make me feel like I was just anybody. I am still in contact with the families and we have such a great relationship.
It was like they knew what family to place me with. They didn't just throw any family at me, nor me with them. They value their clients AND their nannies, which is RARE! If your looking for care, or a client, Hometown Nannies is definitely where you want to find the perfect match!

I have known Hometown Nannies for 5 years and I can tell you that Jayne is a stand up woman, a non nonsense woman who plays by the rules; she is a mom, she is decent and follows through as all agencies should. Every chance I get, I advise my clients about Jayne Ehrlich (Hometown) because she is really awesome. You have a great agency in Jayne, I know that she will send you only people that she has checked out thoroughly.

Great agency! Just relocated from Silicon Valley and after having a fantastic experience with an agency in Menlo Park was hoping to find their east coast match. The candidates they presented were everything I could wish for and more. Communication was great and they were always mindful of my decision timeline and needs. Highly recommend.

I've just recently had occasion to use Hometown Nannies services to find help with my three-year-old son. I have used other agencies in the past but Hometown Nannies was so highly recommended by a friend who'd been in a similar bind (motherhood and a return to career.). I am very impressed with the care and quality of their work. Everything is working out very nicely, the follow up has been great and I feel confident in recommending them too
