ABOUT US

I started Genuine Nannies in 2007 from a simple idea:

Improve the way families and nannies were matched in the community.

It started as a labor of love, threading together my experience as a professional nanny for 8 years, a corporate recruiter and a mother. I saw a need for a matching service that took a more caring and personalized approach.

Blending my experience as a recruiter I created Genuine Nannies in 2007.  Infusing my passion for both the family and nanny, I found my dream career. I feel so blessed to find what I love to do! 

It is truly a humbling experience to help the two sides create a special partnership and connection.  I have had the privilege to see these relationships grow from the first meet and greet to being an integral part of each other's lives.  I always ask nannies, “what makes them sparkle?” but I truly feel that making meaningful nanny/ family matches makes me sparkle!

“I don't like to think of Genuine Nannies as a Nanny Agency, I like to think of it as helping people to find each other.  Simply put it's Matchmaking at the core! This 17 year labor of love has evolved over the years into a beautiful array of deep and meaningful connections to date.”

Hi, my name is Amy Osborn. I am a Bay Area native and grew up in Cupertino.  I moved to San Diego where I met my husband and began our family before moving back to the Bay.  We have been married for over 17 years, have two boys and an adorable rescue pup named Ozzy who delights in chasing squirrels and going on every single school drop-off!

When I'm not busy placing nannies I'm spending time with my family enjoying the outdoors.  I have 4 siblings who are 10-20 years younger than me and I’m lucky enough to see them start their own families.   

“Genuine Nannies saved my life! After a long and tiring search for a trusted care giver for my infant daughter. They have a great instinct for hiring amazing nanny’s and know the qualities of a genuine caregiver.”
