Aunt Ann’s In-House Staffing is a family-run business providing exceptional domestic staffing services to households in the San Francisco area since 1958 and is one of the most trusted nanny and household staffing agencies in the United States. Founded by Ann Collins, her son Tom, and daughter-in-law Sophie, Aunt Ann’s is now owned and operated by their granddaughters Denise and Suzanne Collins, who have worked together for over 30 years. The guiding principle of Aunt Ann’s In-House Staffing is to put people before profit, and this has been our tradition since the agency’s founding. Our focus on honesty, integrity, ethics, discretion, and service ensures that clients and employees are satisfied with their placement process.
We specialize in matching professional Nannies, Housekeepers, Estate Managers, Family Assistants, Personal Chefs, Baby Nurses, and more in San Francisco, Palo Alto, Woodside, Atherton, Menlo Park, Los Altos, Hillsborough, Napa Valley, and the surrounding areas. As a third-generation family business, we have gained trust and loyalty from employers and domestic professionals throughout San Francisco. We take great pride in our commitment to providing superior services and do our best to ensure that every one of our clients is happy with the match we have found. Many of our candidates form long-term relationships with us, returning each time their job ends to find a new position.
Our extensive experience and understanding of the individual needs of our clients enable us to match them with the most suitable professionals for their needs. We are a referral agency, meaning we meet our candidates and clients to ensure the best match. Our candidate pool consists of individuals who have been carefully selected and trained in their respective fields to meet the demands of your home.
Our services include an extensive application, personal interview, employment eligibility verification, and confirmation and checking of references. We also have independent background checks performed on each of our candidates. At Aunt Ann’s In-House Staffing, we guarantee successful satisfactory employment for both parties by taking the time to match the employer’s needs to the candidate’s needs. Our clients recommend us because of our experience, pre-screen & pre-qualification process, and background checks. We provide families and caregivers with superior services, ensuring their domestic help meets the highest standards.
Aunt Ann’s In-House Staffing has served generations of families and has a history of successful placements that include domestic staff hired 30 years ago that are still working for the household we introduced them to. It’s not unusual for Aunt Ann’s In-House Staffing to have an adult child raised by nannies we placed with their parents become a client when they need a nanny for their own children or a caregiver for their parents.
We’ve earned numerous acknowledgments and awards, such as the APNA Lifetime Achievement Award, the INA Service Award pin, and the Gellert Family Business Award from the University of San Francisco’s School of Management. Publications like the San Francisco Chronicle and Mercury News have acknowledged our family business’s generational ownership, and Aunt Ann’s In-House Staffing is regularly listed among Bay Area Parent Magazine’s “Best Nanny Services in the Bay Area,” a testament to the quality of service provided by Aunt Ann’s In-House Staffing. These awards and recognitions demonstrate the commitment to excellence that Aunt Ann’s has provided for the past 65 years.
