Nanny Agency in Atherton

Professional, vetted nannies for families in Atherton

Families in Atherton find a nanny through The Nanny Tribe, a boutique agency that has matched fully vetted nannies across the Peninsula for over a decade. Every search is run by hand around your household's schedule, values, and needs, and every nanny is interviewed in person, reference checked, background screened, and TrustLine registered.

Atherton households tend to value privacy, steadiness, and a nanny who can keep pace with a demanding professional schedule. The Nanny Tribe knows the Peninsula well, from established estate households to growing families closer to Menlo Park and Palo Alto, and matches each family with a nanny suited to the way they actually live. Searches cover full-time, part-time, live-in, and newborn care, along with rota teams and family assistant roles.

In our experience, Atherton families most often look for a nanny who stays steady through long or shifting hours, so we match for judgment and discretion as much as experience.
