“We had exhausted our search for a caregiver in Seattle, trying online services with no luck. Turning to Starling Agency was the best decision. Mandie understood our family’s unique needs, values, and vision for childcare, and almost instantly found us the perfect caregiver who truly feels like family. Starling’s work was top-notch, worth every penny, and I would use them again in an instant.” — Seattle Client

“Finding nanny care for our 2-month-old baby girl through Starling Agency immediately put me at ease. They guided me through every step, providing invaluable resources on everything from finding a nanny in Seattle to crafting the perfect contract. Every candidate they presented was a highly trained professional, and the nanny we hired isn’t just a caregiver; she is truly a part of our family. We wouldn’t be where we are today without her, and we wouldn’t have found her without Starling Agency. They’ve mastered connecting families with qualified nannies and communicating effectively. It was an absolute pleasure working with their professional team, and I would hire them again in a heartbeat.” — Seattle Client

“After exhausting interviews with other nanny agencies, we finally found Starling and wished we had started here!

I have just wrapped up my first week on the job and LOVE it so far. I have worked with other agencies in the Seattle area in the past, and Starling is by far the best experience I’ve had.
