Today we’d like to introduce you to Rebecca Stewart.
Rebecca, we appreciate you taking the time to share your story with us today. Where does your story begin?
Over the past 20 years, Rebecca Stewart, Founder and Owner of VIP Nannies Inc., has built a reputation as one of the most trusted and discreet household staffing experts in Los Angeles and beyond. What began as a deeply personal journey has grown into a globally respected agency serving high-net-worth families, celebrities, and influential leaders across entertainment, sports, and business.
Rebecca works quietly behind the scenes of some of the most high-profile households in the world, including Oscar-winning actors, iconic ’90s pop stars, and families featured on Forbes’ Top 50 list. While her client list is impressive, Rebecca believes her true work goes far beyond credentials. Families come to her because she understands that a home runs best when the right people are placed with care, intention, and genuine understanding.
Confidentiality is at the heart of everything Rebecca does. Trust is not assumed—it’s earned. That unwavering discretion is what has allowed VIP Nannies to become the preferred childcare partner for organizations such as the Los Angeles Rams in 2016, followed by the Los Angeles Chargers in 2022.
Rebecca’s path to success was not conventional. At 24 years old, she was unexpectedly let go from a full-time nanny position—an experience that initially felt like a setback, but ultimately became the catalyst for her career. She saw firsthand how easily misunderstandings could arise and realized there was a need for a more thoughtful, ethical approach to connecting families and household staff. Determined to create something better, Rebecca secured a small business loan and founded VIP Nannies with little more than a phone, a vision, and an unwavering belief in people.
In the early days, Rebecca personally met with families and candidates all over Los Angeles, building relationships one conversation at a time. Her hands-on approach and intuitive understanding of people quickly set her apart. Within just a few years, VIP Nannies expanded rapidly, outgrowing its original Studio City office and extending its reach throughout California, New York, and internationally.
To date, Rebecca has successfully placed over 2500 candidates, helping families create stable, supportive homes. At the core of her success is her down-to-earth authenticity and her belief that every placement is deeply personal. She approaches each family with care, respect, and attention—treating every client as if they are her only one.
For Rebecca Stewart, true luxury isn’t about exclusivity alone. It’s about trust, connection, and creating homes where both families and the people who support them can truly thrive.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
It has truly been an incredible journey, and I feel deeply blessed to be trusted by so many prominent families, as well as with the lives and careers of the individuals we place. For the most part, the path has been smooth — but as they say, life be life’n.
Over the past twenty years, I’ve faced my share of challenges. I’ve been married and divorced, lost three of my four grandparents, become a mother (the greatest blessing of my life), and battled shingles, pneumonia, and COVID — all while continuing to lead and grow my business and manage an internal team.
When I reflect on it all, I’m filled with gratitude. Gratitude not only for my health and perseverance, but for the privilege of building what has become one of the most respected nanny agencies in California. God has truly blessed me. I count it all joy, because every setback has ultimately been a setup for a comeback.
Appreciate you sharing that. What should we know about VIP Nannies Inc., Household Staffing?
At its core, my business was built on trust, discretion, and genuine care for both families and caregivers. For nearly two decades, VIP Nannies Inc. has specialized in placing exceptional nannies and household staff (housekeepers, chefs, baby nurses, personal assistants, house managers, etc.) with high-profile, high-net-worth families who require the highest level of professionalism, confidentiality, and personalized service.
What sets us apart is that we are not a volume-based agency — we are relationship-driven. Every placement is thoughtfully curated, with an emphasis on long-term compatibility, emotional intelligence, and integrity. I remain personally involved in every match, ensuring that both the family and the caregiver feel seen, supported, and protected throughout the process and beyond.
We are known for working seamlessly with celebrity households, executives, and public figures, while maintaining absolute discretion. In addition, VIP Nannies is proud to be the preferred childcare provider for the Los Angeles Rams since their return to Los Angeles, and for the Los Angeles Chargers since 2022. These partnerships reflect the trust placed in us by organizations that demand excellence, reliability, and confidentiality at the highest level.
Brand-wise, I am most proud that VIP Nannies has become synonymous with trust, longevity, and excellence. Many of our relationships span years — even generations — which speaks to the care we take in every detail. We don’t simply fill positions; we help build homes, support careers, and create stability during some of life’s most important seasons.
What I want readers to know is that this business is deeply personal to me. It’s not just about staffing a household; it’s about service, stewardship, and impact. VIP Nannies exists to elevate the standard of in-home care while honoring the people who make it possible.
Is there any advice you’d like to share with our readers who might just be starting out?
The best advice I can give any business owner is to do what you love and follow your passion. When your work is aligned with your purpose, perseverance comes more naturally — especially during the early years.
If I could offer further advice to anyone just starting out, it would be this: build with intention, not urgency. Focus on doing things the right way, even when it takes longer or feels harder. Your reputation will always outlive any quick win.
I also wish I had known earlier how important boundaries are — both personally and professionally. You can care deeply about your work and your clients without carrying everything alone. Learning to delegate, ask for help, and protect your time isn’t a weakness; it’s a necessity for longevity.
There will be seasons where growth feels slow and moments when setbacks feel personal. They’re not — they’re part of the process. Stay rooted in your purpose, remain adaptable, and don’t be afraid to evolve as both a leader and a person.
Most importantly, lead with integrity. When you treat people well, honor your word, and stay aligned with your values, success becomes sustainable. That’s what I wish I had known from the very beginning — and what has ultimately made the journey worthwhile.
