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.

“I’m happy to recommend Rakshya as a nanny. She has been wonderful with our child and brought such a calm, positive energy into our home. Rakshya spent time reading books, which our child really enjoyed, and it helped encourage learning and imagination. She is very patient—never annoyed, always smiling, and she speaks so politely and kindly. Our child felt comfortable and happy around her. We never asked her to do any specific things but she did everything on her own. She was also always on time and very reliable, which made things much easier for us as parents. One time, my husband didn’t wake up when she arrived, and instead of leaving, she patiently waited for 45 minutes. That really showed her dedication and responsibility. We always knew we could count on her, and we truly appreciated her caring nature. I would definitely recommend Rakshya to any family looking for a caring, dependable, and gentle nanny.”
Hi! I’m Daniela, I’m 30 years old and I’m from Brazil. I have over 8 years of experience working with children, including 2 years as an Au Pair caring for three kids. I studied nursing in Brazil, and I’m CNA and CPR certified. I love spending time with kids, planning fun activities, doing arts and crafts, going to the park, playing games, and helping them learn and grow. I’m also experienced with meal prep, homework, potty training, and light housekeeping. I’d describe myself as caring, patient, fun, responsible, and organized. I’m a strong driver, and I always make safety a priority. I genuinely love what I do and enjoy creating a fun, loving environment where kids feel comfortable and supported!

Hi, I’m Maria, a highly experienced and compassionate caregiver with a strong background in education and specialized child care. I hold a bachelor’s degree in Preparation for Teaching and currently work as a substitute teacher, supporting students across a wide range of ages, abilities, and learning environments. I previously worked as a Preschool Teacher at La Petite Academy, where I was responsible for maintaining a safe, structured, and nurturing classroom. I supported daily routines, led age-appropriate learning activities, assisted with meals and transitions, and used positive behavior guidance to support social and emotional development. I understand how important consistency, patience, and clear communication are for young children. In addition, I have extensive experience working with children with disabilities and medical needs. I have supported children with autism, Down syndrome, cerebral palsy, visual impairments, seizure disorders, behavioral challenges, and children who require tube feeding. Through my work in special education settings, I developed a calm, attentive, and safety-focused approach to care. I am comfortable following care plans, recognizing signs of distress, and working closely with families to meet each child’s individual needs. Beyond my education background, I have spent several years sailing internationally as part of a small crew, traveling over 15,000 nautical miles. This experience strengthened my sense of responsibility, safety awareness, problem-solving skills, and ability to remain calm in high-pressure situations. These qualities directly support my work with children and families. Families describe me as dependable, nurturing, and confident. I take pride in being someone parents can trust with their children’s safety, well-being, and daily care. I genuinely enjoy building meaningful connections with children and supporting families with reliable, thoughtful care.
