What BBN places

Care and household support built around the home, not a generic job title.

Families rarely need “just a nanny.” They need the right adult in the right role, with the judgment to fit the children, parents, schedule, privacy expectations, household rhythm, and compensation range. BBN’s job is to help define that role clearly, recruit for the real need, and present candidates who make sense for the family.

The agency supports both traditional childcare placements and the broader household roles that keep a busy home moving.

Popular family needs

Start with the role your home actually needs.

Career nanny

Long-term placement

For families who need a steady childcare partner: routines, school runs, developmentally aware care, travel, and a professional presence children can rely on.

Newborn care specialist

Early months / overnight support

For families who need skilled infant support, night help, feeding and sleep rhythm support, recovery support, and calm guidance in the first months home.

Family assistant

Childcare + household logistics

For homes where the person needs to move between children, errands, calendars, vendors, organization, driving, and the daily details parents cannot keep absorbing.

On-call sitter

Backup, date night, events

For local and visiting families who need trustworthy short-term coverage without starting from an open marketplace every time plans change.

Household manager

Home operations

For families who need the house itself to run better: vendors, errands, inventory, calendars, travel prep, and the behind-the-scenes work that keeps the week moving.

Domestic staff

Housekeepers, chefs, assistants

For high-trust homes looking for private-service professionals with references, discretion, and an understanding of household-employer expectations.

Do you only place nannies?

No. Nannies are a core service, but BBN also supports newborn care, babysitting, family assistants, household managers, housekeepers, private chefs, and broader private household roles.

Can BBN help if the role is not fully defined?

Yes. That is often where the agency is most useful. BBN can help separate childcare, family assistant, and household management needs before recruiting starts.

Do families pay the candidate directly?

Yes. BBN is a referral agency. Families pay the household professional directly for hours worked, and agency fees are separate.

What areas does BBN serve?

Santa Barbara, Montecito, Ventura, Ojai, Solvang, Camarillo, Santa Maria, visiting families, and high-trust homes across the Central Coast.
