Services
The Central Coast household staffing partner for every season of family life.
BBN helps Santa Barbara and Ventura County families hire the right in-home professional for the way their household actually works: childcare, newborn care, backup care, household management, and broader domestic staffing.
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.

Nannies and household professionals
Nannies, newborn specialists, babysitters, family assistants, housekeepers, chefs, and household managers can start here.
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.
