My Girl Friday is an awesome nanny placement agency. Austin did a great job with understanding my particular needs and provided a top notch placement. As a single father of 3 active boys, this service is absolutely necessary. Everyone at My Girl Friday provides excellent personal service and I know they will always be there to have my family's back with any need that comes up. Thanks MGF!

You know those times when they say the “universe is conspiring for you?” Well...ooof. 2020 was not those times for us . And in the midst of an OMG-did-that-really-happen & two nanny transitions in 5 months, MGF was unflappable . Austin and her team never faltered as they helped our family get back on our feet. To us they are ; they are compassionate, collaborative, creative partners that stick it out for as long as it takes to get nanny-family nirvana . And now 2021? We.Got.This.

We had a great nanny within a week! Very happy with placement and assistance in everything that needs to be in place. Well worth the investment!
