Is Sunhouse Agency Legit?
A plain-language summary for families considering Sunhouse for nanny placement, recurring care, or a nanny share.
Short answer: yes. Sunhouse Agency is the nanny and childcare-placement arm of Sunhouse Babysitting Agency Inc., a registered Vancouver agency operating since 2021.
Years operating
Sunhouse Babysitting Agency Inc. was founded in 2021 in Vancouver. The agency is sisters-led — Nicole and April Alana — and runs a handpicked roster of caregivers rather than an open marketplace. The same roster powers both date-night sitter bookings and longer-term nanny placements.
What Sunhouse Agency places
- Full-time and part-time nanny placements
- Nanny shares between two or more families
- Recurring weekly care arrangements
- Date-night and occasional babysitting (via the babysitting service)
- Event, hotel, and last-minute care
Vetting and screening
Every nanny and sitter is interviewed in person, reference-checked, and runs a criminal record check before joining the roster. Because placements often become long-term household relationships, Sunhouse curates rather than scales the roster — the goal is fit, not volume.
Service area
Sunhouse Agency currently serves:
- Vancouver
- North Vancouver

How placement works
Families inquire through the main Sunhouse site with a brief description of needs (hours, ages, location, special requirements). Sunhouse shortlists caregivers from the roster, arranges introductions, and handles the matching process. Trial periods are typical for longer-term placements before committing.
