Hi my name is Patrick but go by my preferred name Benny. I live and work in San Francisco in the financial services industry on the client services team. I’ve always loved working with kids and have experience looking after toddlers and kids having two young boy cousins (current age 7 and 5) who I care for from time to time. I can cook and complete other household chores as needed and am looking forward to helping families in the city!
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!
⸻ Since 2007, I have dedicated my professional life to working with children and supporting their growth, development, and success. My background as a special education teacher has given me extensive experience working with children of different ages, personalities, learning styles, and abilities. Throughout my career, I have developed strong skills in patience, communication, organization, problem-solving, and emotional support, all of which I believe are essential qualities for an excellent caregiver and nanny. Working with children is more than just a job for me—it is something I genuinely enjoy and feel passionate about. I take pride in helping children build confidence, achieve goals, and feel safe, supported, and encouraged in their daily lives. As a special education teacher, I work closely with children who have unique learning and developmental needs. This experience has taught me how to be adaptable, compassionate, and attentive to each child’s individual personality and needs. I understand that every child learns differently and responds differently to situations, routines, and communication styles. Because of this, I always approach caregiving with patience, understanding, and flexibility. I believe children thrive best when they feel heard, respected, and cared for in a positive environment. Over the years, I have worked with students on academic goals, social skills, behavioral development, emotional regulation, and daily life skills. My work requires consistency, creativity, and the ability to remain calm under pressure. I have learned how to encourage children in a supportive way while also maintaining structure and routines that help them feel secure and confident. These same skills translate naturally into being a nanny and caregiver. I understand the importance of creating a stable, nurturing, and positive atmosphere where children can grow emotionally, socially, and academically. One of the things I enjoy most about working with children is helping them recognize their strengths and abilities. I believe every child has potential, and I enjoy finding ways to motivate and encourage them to succeed. Whether I am helping with homework, guiding a child through challenges, organizing activities, or simply spending quality time together, I strive to create meaningful interactions that support their development and happiness. I truly enjoy seeing children gain confidence, learn new skills, and accomplish goals.
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! 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.

"McKenna was great with our 3 year old son! She came prepared with a box of fun activities and handled playing, dinner, and bedtime seamlessly... and it was all at our hotel while we were in town for a wedding. Thank you McKenna!"
