Hi! My name is Delilah, and I am a dedicated and compassionate nanny with several years of hands-on childcare experience. I spent one year working as a nanny at Tiny Giants San Francisco, where I supported children in a nurturing, structured, and engaging environment before transitioning into private nannying. In addition to my childcare background, I work as a medical receptionist at a clinic and am currently a pre-nursing medical student at Contra Costa College. I also hold an Associate’s degree from San Francisco State University, which has strengthened my communication, organization, and responsibility skills—qualities I bring into every family I work with. I truly love working with children and take pride in creating a safe, loving, and positive space where they can learn, grow, and feel supported. Outside of work, I enjoy traveling and spending time with my Aussiedoodle, Bruno, who often joins me on my adventures. Caring for others is not just a job for me—it’s a passion, and I find so much joy in building meaningful connections through my career as a nanny.
Hi! I’m an elementary school teacher with 10 years of experience working with children, primarily in grades K–5. I bring a calm, attentive, and safety-first approach to every caregiving role. I take pride in being dependable, proactive, detail-oriented, and genuinely invested in each child’s well-being and growth. I love helping families maintain structure and supportive routines for their children. In addition, I am comfortable preparing meals, light housekeeping, laundry, and bed and bathtime routines. I value a clear outline of duties and clear communication with families, especially if I take children on an outing, so you are always informed and at ease. I have extensive childcare experience beyond the classroom and am confident in supporting different personalities, needs, and energy levels. I prioritize safety, consistency, and warmth, while also fostering independence and confidence in children. I have cared for babies as young as 6 months. I'm currently in a Mother's Helper/Light Childcare role in San Leandro. With my full-time teaching schedule, I would love to work with a family in Oakland. I look forward to connecting!
Hello! My name is Jia and I am a recent graduate from San Francisco State University. I have an extensive background working with children, mainly grades K-6th. I have worked at an afterschool/summer program for 6 years (2 years volunteer, 4 years paid), looking after around 50 kids at a time. My roles there included chaperoning on daily park trips and weekly field trips, taking care of lunch and cleanup operations, as well as tutoring on math and English. My top priority is to always ensure the children are safe, but also to add some fun into their day! I understand that every child has different needs, so I’m always adapting and learning as I go. I can assist with cooking/meal prepping, cleaning, and running any errands as well if necessary. I also speak Mandarin and Cantonese!
Hi! My name is Nia and I currently work in tech as a marketer. I have experience working as a teacher assistant in Montessori schools with children aged 6 months to 5 years, as well as other various babysitting jobs. I can provide homework help, transportation to activities, crafts, and outdoor activities. I play soccer and the piano, so I can also help your child enrich their skills in either.

"UrbanSitter is my go-to for quality sitters! I can book weeks ahead of time or easily find a same-day sitter when in a bind. I even hired a part-time nanny during a daycare transition. Customer service is helpful and babysitters respond in a timely manner."
Laura F., mom of two
