Marin Nanny Agency

Finding your long-term nanny The First time

The Nanny Tribe matches Marin and North Bay families with fully vetted, professionally screened nannies. One thorough search, run by our team around your household, your schedule, and the way your family lives.

Nanny Agency in Marin

Professional, vetted nannies for families in Marin

Families in Marin find a nanny through The Nanny Tribe, a boutique agency that has matched fully vetted nannies across the North Bay 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.

The nannies we match with Marin families often travel in from San Francisco or are based centrally across Northern California, which keeps an experienced, professional pool close at hand. Marin is a beautiful, kid-friendly county, and a good nanny here makes the most of it. A day can move from morning play at a neighborhood park like Old Mill Park in Mill Valley or Blackie's Pasture in Tiburon, to a short trip across the bridge for a museum adventure in the city, to an easy afternoon on the Tennessee Valley Trail out to the beach.

In our experience, the Marin families we work with most often want a nanny who can hold the early and late edges of the day, since a bridge or ferry commute into the city tends to stretch a parent's hours on either side.
