Rose’s Agency

Wow. Anyone who writes a good review on this page either 1) managed to get a job despite the staff, or 2) the owner begged them to write something because the place is a train wreck and they need good reviews. I’ve visited this agency twice and the first time it wreaked of let’s say «funny cigarettes» then I noticed the High Times calendar and realized I wasn’t just imagining it. The second time the chick in the back office, Casey was super drunk on her ass and the staff was fighting RIGHT IN FRONT OF TWO OF US SITTING THERE FILLING OUT APPLICATION FORMS. JEEZ! It was awkward, embarrassing and uncomfortable. She had no problem slinging racial/​ethnic slurs at the owner Gary (he’s Jewish) right in front of anyone in earshot. I told them I left my drivers license in the car, left and never came back. This place is for the birds. LOOK ELSEWHERE and be treated with respect, never have to imagine what they’re saying behind your own back and work with professionals. I spoke to a friend recently who is a nanny and she had a similar experience there with the unprofessional environment so I know it wasn’t a fluke. Take heed!

Where do I even start?!
This agency has changed my life!
About two years ago, I walked into this agency low on my spirits about finding a job. I had been on interviews with a countless number of ‘top nanny agencies’, and felt that they either did not care about my personal needs, and even felt at times that they were a little racist to the fact that I am not some tall, blonde, blue eyed model like the rest of their nannies appeared. Long and behold, I stumbled upon Casey, my guardian angel! This woman has changed my life! When I first came in for an interview, she made me feel so at ease and that she cared about my wants and needs. However, I was still skeptical due to my other experiences at other agencies. I still thought, «Oh she is just probably being nice, but like the others, she won’t send me out on interviews.» WRONG!!! Almost that same day, she sent me out on a interview, and even though that job did not work out, she tirelessly pursued jobs for me for almost two years. There was always a complaint about me, from I was too young, too educated, blah blah, but Casey continued to support and market me to clients. With in those two years, Casey probably sent me out on almost 100 interviews. What’s so touching is that she NEVER gave up on me. I don’t know not one other agency that would even bother helping a nanny if they didn’t book a job after a couple of interviews. It goes to show that Casey isn’t doing this for the money, she does this work because she actually cares, a rare commodity if you ask me. After two years, Casey was able to finally place me with a great family, something that I know now could have only been done by her. I feel like I owe this woman my life lol, and I am forever grateful and indebted towards her. And I also would like to point out that not just Casey, but everyone at Roses Agency has always been nothing but respectful and kind towards me. I know that there are some negative reviews on here, but keep in mind that people often times become bitter when they cannot find a job and often place blame on the agencies. I find it hard to believe that any of those reviews hold even the slightest bit of truth, because from my own personal experience, this is the Harvard of placement agencies.
So if you’re looking for a great agency to find that next dream job of yours, give Casey a call and look no further.
And Casey if you are reading this, I love you!!!

I absolutely love the Roses Agency. Casey (head of domestic staffing) is sent from the heavens! I met with Casey a couple weeks before she paired me with a beautiful family whom I’ve had the pleasure of working for. Casey’s sense of humor is simply genius. If you can’t handle or better yet appreciate her wit, wisdom and congenial nature in efforts to acclimate herself with you, then you can’t possibly handle any of the jobs she has to offer; plain and simple. I know first hand that it’s important to Casey to have a personable relationship with each candidate she meets. She goes the extra mile to help you improve your interviewing skills along with tailoring your resume so your chances of landing a job are all the more unchallenging. Come on, how many of us can say we’ve experienced such supportiveness? I’m beyond delighted to be represented by the Roses Agency! And if you are passionate, intelligent, experienced and looking for domestic employment, Casey is your light in the tunnel! Point. Blank. Period.

I knew that I wanted to be a celebrity executive assistant, but just didn’t know how to go about it and get my foot in the door. It seemed that everybody worked for a celebrity but no one was willing to help!
So when I was introduced to Casey by chance from a mutual contact I finally knew I was in good hands.
Casey not only helped me find my dream job (3.5years in and still loving it!!!) but she became my mentor and good friend. Coaching me on interview preparations, assisting in updating my resume, keeping me in the loop of new jobs and feedback, I always felt that Casey had my back and that she wanted to genuinely see me in a great new role.
Even after I started my new position she would call to see how things were, make sure I was happy and that everything was as expected.
I could not recommend Casey and Rose’s agency enough for any high level/​celebrity PA/​EA, nanny housekeeper, driver jobs etc. Casey is your woman!

This agency is totally unprofessional. First off they post for nannies on Craigslist!!! I responded to an add and that’s how I first heard of them. They called and I went in and ATTEMPTED to speak with Casey.
I was instantly put off by Casey’s unprofessional appearance. The whole interview was completely nuts. She would ask me a question in reguard to my nanny work and then completely cut me off and interject with her own personal story not pertaining to the interview. I was never able to finish a complete thought or sentence. So rude. She didn’t care what I had to say at all. In addition to that every other word that came out of her mouth was the F-​Bomb!!! No joke!!! Over and over… She ended with, «I like you and I’m gonna help you find a job.» Now, I don’t know how that would be possible since she didn’t even listen to what I was looking for.
Looking over my resume she mentioned that she needed one last number for a referance. I picked up my phone and attempted to say, «Let me see if I have it.» And she quicky said, «I’m done here.» WOW… I don’t think I have ever encountered someone so rude at an interview.
I walked out of there astonished and will never return. Nor did she ever call me to help me find a job because she «liked me so much.» I emailed another receptionist there asking how I would apply for a position if I might be interested and she never responded. Rude all the way around.
I found a great job through a different agency that treats people with respect and decency.
I would NEVER sink a dime into their company. There are plenty of other places that will treat you better. I wouldn’t even give them a star if I didn’t have to.

If you are tired of dealing with the pretense of some other agencies in town, call Rose’s. While sitting in the office, I heard them actually on the phone checking references. I know for a fact other agencies I have worked through never checked my references. Although they are moving very fast, I have found Casey and Gary very easy to deal with. They do business the old fashioned way, through understanding people and building relationships… they know their stuff!

I only have got to talk with Casey, and no doubt that she is the lady! True to herself, she keeps it real, if she knows that she could help you she will let you, if not she willngive you recommendations in order to improve your resume and work experience. She does have a strong personality and she might come up aggressive for some people but she is very sweet deep down inside and knows her job and her clients really well so therefore she will not send you to an interview if she knows that you are not the right fit for the family. She will neither waste the nanny time or hers.

Both Casey and Gary have always done a fantastic job of finding me employment. I have found work through several times and the fact that they take the extra time to update me throughout the process with phone calls and emails even when nothing is available means a lot.

I had a negative experience with this agency. The people running this place are not very professional and not nice people at all. I guess I should have read the negative reviews before coming here anyway. I don’t like writing negative reviews but this place really deserves it.

«GREAT MATCH MAKING! Looking for a personal assistant for my pilates business, we called 3 agencies. Rose’s Agency people were very professional. They had more related experience, arrived on time, interviewed well, and were overall more skillful. Their matching of candidates is terrific.»
Thank you for helping me start my future!!!

«Exceptional agency. Professional people. Their marketer, Brenda helped me with my resume and she is fantastic. She really worked with me and created the best resume I have had in a very long time. I would highly recommend.»

Yay for Rose’s Agency! I went to them in search of a nanny for my little girl and they exceeded my expectations. The woman they sent us is fantastic! She has quickly become part of our family, I truly don’t know what we would do without her. She is always reliable and health conscious with the meals she prepares, she helps my daughter with her homework, and they are always having such a great time playing and being creative. Thank you so much Rose’s!

I work as a caregiver part time and met Rose’s Agency’s marketing person Brenda through a senior event. She is such a positive and helpful person. After coming in to meet with the home care staff, I was pleased to see how extensive their list of services is. They do a lot for seniors in the community and really take care of their caregivers by paying them a decent wage and making sure they are happy in the assignments and with the clients. Nice to see an agency who really cares about their employees. The interview process and orientation is lengthy and covers a lot. Very thorough, but be prepared to take in a lot of info.

«I live in Las Vegas and when I had to hire a caregiver for a family member who lives in LA, I contacted Rose’s Agency and several other agencies as well. I got an immediate call back from Rose’s. The care manager came to the home the next day with a great caregiver accompanying her. The level of service and professionalism is superior. I have yet to hear from some of the other companies; some who only sent an email. Thanks for a quick and reliable service!»

Rose’s Agency was exactly what I needed! They were extremely helpful in finding a home care assistant for my Father after his open heart surgery. I work full time and desperately needed someone to be with him while I was at work. The home care provider ended up being a great friend to him during this difficult time. Thank you Rose’s! You were able to give me piece of mind.

I’m glad I decided to come in and meet with this agency BEFORE I read the negative reviews on here. I have nothing but positive things to say about this place and the staff I met when I interviewed.
Not only did I meet with both Gary and Casey about the job I was interested in, they gave me advice about my resume, helped me make changes to it, and coached me on how to answer some tough interview questions that often stumped me in the past. They even considered me for 2 other positions that were available.
There were several walk-​ins who dropped by during my interview and the phones did ring constantly so it’s a pretty busy office. Nevertheless, everyone was very professional and helpful. Probably one of the best experiences I’ve had with an employment agency.

«I recently hired a nanny from Rose’s Agency to take care of my son. I was very impressed because the person they sent me was amazing. Her background and level of professionalism is a step above what I was finding through other agencies when I hired for my daughter several years ago. Casey was great. I will definitely refer this agency. Thank you.»

The Rose’s Agency was mentioned to me by a colleague and so recently, I contacted the Rose’s Agency to see if I could establish care for my ailing mother. I spoke to a very wonderful lady, Irene Coleman, who was able to put me at ease as I felt leaving my mother in the care of someone else was unethical. Irene’s initial reassurances is what led me to utilize their services.
Irene and I spoke in great lengths regarding our needs. She then came out to our home and met with us and we came to a great understanding as to what I needed in a caregiver for my mom. Because of these actions, I feel she put the correct worker in place. The caregiver has been as phenomenal as was Irene. I feel I can now resume my own daily every day living needs without totally worrying about my mother every second and it is a relief in knowing that my mom’s needs are being met as well. My mother is in good hands.
I absolutely recommend utilizing the services of The Rose’s Agency.

I’m shocked I even heard back after meeting them in person.
The agency was very unprofessional. I think if I hadn’t worn black pants but jeans instead, I still would have felt over dressed.
I showed up for what I thought was going to be a one on one interview time, but turned out to be me sitting and waiting in an assembly line.
Then she met with my for less than 10 minutes! It took me more time to put on my makeup for that «interview.»
Absolute waste of time! Then she ended it with it was on my end to follow up and seek them out for a job… real professional.
I do not recommend wasting your gas money to even meet them.

BEWARE… This agency does not screen their nannies well.
My husband and I paid an exorbitant amount of money to Rose’s agency to place who we thought would be a great nanny for our 4 month old child. After a month of work, she was disgruntled because she was unhappy with the agreed salary of $ 15/​hr she was receiving, saying she was used to more, even though this was the agreed salary. After trying to work with her for a few more weeks, she became worse and even lashed out and yelled at our older daughter, 9 years of age. We then decided it was time to find someone who would be happier and more cooperative.
Since Rose’s has a guarantee to replace your nanny if you are unhappy for up to one year, we called Casey (the nanny agent) and started interviewing others. We found another nanny who seemed qualified and enthusiastic. We hired her and she worked for us for two days and then did not show up on the third day. Just disappeared out of thin air. Casey claimed not to know where she was and brushed the whole thing off. It later became apparent that Rose’s got her another job where they could make a new commission and told her not to contact me again. At this point, I was very leery about Casey and the agency’s ethical standards. Unfortunately, I was between a rock and a hard place due to the fact that we had paid thousands of dollars for what I thought was access to great nannies with good backgrounds. We did not have money to go through the same process at another agency, so I was forced to continue and look for someone else. I attempted to hire another nanny that suspiciously got sick and did not show up. Then I went through yet another round of interviews. The last nanny I hired seemed ok until her energy and behavior became more and more suspicious and strange. I checked her most recent reference, that was good, but only a part time reference. After a couple of weeks, something told me to dig a bit deeper. Apparently, one of the nanny’s last employers was going through some kind of legal battle with her and was unable to speak with me due to legal advice she received through her council. I was floored to say the least.
After speaking to Casey, she claimed to know nothing about it. She didn’t even check her reference! Obviously, I found it highly negligent for an agency to not do thorough background checks to make sure their references are good, if not excellent. Paying so much money, you would think the nannies were of the highest caliber, not just some desperate women looking for a way to make some money. Nanny agencies need to have high standards for referring qualified, caring people that you are expecting to give quality care for your child. Rose’s agency is one step down from using Craigslist. Save your money. You will not get peace of mind from hiring any of their staff.
Luckily, I was referred to a wonderful woman who does nanny placement without the tricky year long guarantee contract. I found an amazing nanny with impeccable references that I am extremely happy with. Please do your research and learn from my costly mistake!
Stay away from Rose’s Agency!
