WHAT OUR CLIENTS ARE SAYING

Starling Agency was a dream to work with- excellent communication, easy non-intimidating application and negotiation process, and just genuinely kindhearted people. 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 … Read more
L. MeredithSeattle Nanny
I’m not prone to hyperbole, but Mandie found us the perfect caregiver – better than anyone we could have chosen ourselves.  We had just moved to Seattle and had no luck on our own or with any online services.  After wasting time and energy, we turned to Starling and they found our caregiver almost instantly by listening to our needs, values, and … Read more
Matt M.Seattle Parent
We love her. From the moment I met Mandie, I could tell that this was someone who was kind, caring, patient, and who loved children. All of that has proven true over time. You can tell that Mandie cares deeply about your children and understands how to support them. Aside from exuding positivity and kindness, Mandie also knows her stuff. She takes … Read more
M. BlandSeattle Parent
We had a flawless and speedy experience with Mandie at Starling Agency! Our family was in a pinch to find someone as I went back to work and we didn’t feel like we had to compromise in any way with the support of Mandie at finding the perfect fit for our family’s needs. Mandie was accessible, friendly, reliable, and seemed to immediately kno… Read more

Turn to a real pro whose mastered the nanny search and understands that child care isn’t just about keeping the kiddos occupied, but helping them learn and grow. Mandie, the director of Starling Agency in Seattle, heads a te… Read more

Starting off as a Nanny in a new city can be difficult but that was not the case with Mandie at Starling Agency, she matched me with the perfect fit. Her talent and love for this work is admirable. 
L. ShawSeattle Nanny
After managing our own nanny search, I decided to use Starling Agency to screen our potential candidate and I am so glad that Mandie helped me through every step of the process. She was incredibly helpful and professional and often times answering my myriad of questions at all times of the day! Mandie has a very personal approach and she gave me a … Read more
C. BardonSeattle Parent
Working with Mandie was an absolutely incredible experience. She took not only the time to get to know me and my experience as a nanny, but took the time to make sure I was fit with the absolute perfect family. Her attention to detail and genuine love of her job is apparent.
L. WilliamsSeattle, WA
Starling Agency was a godsend for us, as we were new to Seattle and needed a nanny for our two young children ASAP. Not only did Mandie “get” the person we were looking for, she found the perfect candidate in less than a week: experienced, unflappable, flexible, and just fun to be around. So now we have a great nanny and the peace of mind that … Read more
A. ChenSeattle Parent
I worked with Starling Agency to find nanny care for our 2-month old baby girl. I was immediately set at ease as Starling Agency walked me through the process of finding a nanny in the Seattle area. Before, during, and after the search, they were a great resource on all things nanny related – – especially on crafting the right nanny contract for ou… Read more
