Postpartum & Confinement Nanny Care in California
My Asian Nanny places confinement nannies, Chinese postpartum nannies, night nurses, housekeepers and elderly caregivers in 62 California cities, from Los Angeles County and Orange County up through the Bay Area and the Sacramento region. California is the only state where we quote two separate rate bands, because Southern and Northern California price differently.

How a California placement works
Nanny, housekeeper and elderly-care placements in Southern California carry a 60-day replacement guarantee — the shortest window we offer, because the local caregiver pool is deepest there. Northern California, San Diego and other states carry 90 days, and postpartum placements are covered for the full length of the booking. My Asian Nanny is a referral agency: we screen and match the caregiver, and the family employs her directly. Families usually start looking two to four months before the due date, because experienced caregivers book early.
