Doris 1 review
$38 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in San Rafael, 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.”

"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."
