Doris 1 review
$38 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in El Cerrito, CA

Hello, my name is Doris. I am currently looking for a new family; my time with my current family will come to an end this June. I am an affectionate and caring person, and I devote my full attention—and all my time—to the children. I always strive to help them in every way possible. I enjoy every new adventure, and I love playing with them outdoors. I prepare their meals, take care of their laundry, and I am flexible and willing to assist with any other tasks whenever possible.

“Doris has been an exceptional caregiver to our three boys, including our 10-year-old twins and our 15-year-old. She has been with our family for the past three years since we moved from New York City, and her impact on our family has been immeasurable. In addition to providing loving and attentive care, Doris has managed school pick-ups and drop-offs, taken the children to appointments, stayed overnight when needed, prepared meals, helped keep our home organized, and supported countless day-to-day family needs. She has also introduced our children to Spanish language and culture, which has been a wonderful gift. Most importantly, Doris is dependable, caring, trustworthy, proactive, and deeply committed to the children and families she serves. She has become an important part of our family, and we recommend her without reservation. PS: She is also an exceptional tailor! If you are looking for an outstanding nanny, Doris is truly exceptional. I would be happy to provide a personal reference and answer any questions.”

Hello, my name is Dajanna, and I am a dedicated professional currently expanding my knowledge as a student at CCC. I am fully bilingual in English and Spanish, allowing me to communicate effectively with diverse families and children. With 5 years of experience in childcare, my passion lies in nurturing the development and well-being of young children. I currently work as a preschool teacher and also offer reliable babysitting services on the weekends. I hold current CPR certification for infants, toddlers, and adults, ensuring I am prepared to handle various emergency situations with competence and confidence. My responsibilities are changing diapers/ clothes, preparing/ giving snack out, nap time, supervision. I pride myself on being a highly flexible individual, readily adapting to the unique needs and schedules of each family. My services extend beyond direct care; I am comfortable assisting with light housework and reliably driving children to and from school. I am also completely comfortable with pets in the home. I am a trustworthy person who approaches every child I work with, whether in the classroom or as a sitter, with deep care, respect, and professionalism. I am committed to creating a safe, supportive, and engaging environment where children can thrive. I look forward to the opportunity of working and meeting your family! 😊

“Dajanna was great with my kids! She kept them entertained, handled dinner, and put them to bed with ease. Very communicative and easy to work with. Will definitely recommend her to anyone!”

Hello everyone! My name is Ana, and I am 42 years old. I am currently looking for a nanny position. I am a mother of two children, one is 12 years old and the other is 2 years old. In addition, I have experience caring for infants and toddlers. I truly enjoy being around children, spending time with them, and supervising them as they play, learn, and grow.

"Johanna is AMAZING! My two boys love her - she does everything from amazing arts & crafts, to helping with homework, to getting them playing outside! She also drives them and does everything involved with after school activities: packing snacks, getting the right gear, etc."

"When we hired Amani, we felt like we hit the jackpot. We were very lucky to find her on UrbanSitter at the beginning of school year. She was picking up kids from school, taking them to afternoon activities, helping them with assignments. She prepped food for them, helped organize their closets and keep their spaces neat and orderly. We would hire her again in a heartbeat."

"Caitlin has been such a lifesaver for our family. We hired Caitlin to help with the after school routine. The kids took to her instantly. She does it all - school pick ups, dinners, baths, lunch making, clean up, etc. She has really helped make a busy time so much easier for us."
