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.”

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!”

Booked by 1 family in San Rafael, CA

Hello! My name is Giovanna, and I currently work in childcare. I have experience with babies, toddlers, and children up to 10 years old. I’m patient, responsible, and truly enjoy engaging with kids through reading, playing, drawing, and other creative activities. At the moment, I take care of two children — one 2 years old and the other 4 years old — so I’m very comfortable with all daily childcare tasks. This includes preparing and serving meals, changing diapers, helping with potty training, bathing, getting them dressed, playing, reading books, planning creative activities, going outside, and following nap and bedtime routines. I always follow the parents’ instructions and respect each family’s routine. I would be happy to support your family and care for your children with attention and dedication. I’m new to this platform, so I don’t have reviews yet, but I’m looking for an opportunity to show my work and build trust. I can also provide references upon request. In addition, I’m available for babysitting for special events, date nights, or occasional needs. Thank you, and I hope to hear from you soon!

“Giovanna was great with my kiddos! She was immediately able to win over my younger one and my kids enjoyed playing games and building forts with her. We’ll definitely have her back! ”

Aliche $25 per hour for 1 child

Hey! Im Aliché, a 28 yr old Bay Area raised Cali girl. I’m from Alameda, a twin and the eldest of 3 siblings. I have over 7 years of experience nannying, and overall childcare through Care.com after school programs and family referrals. I’m new to UrbanSitters but very seasoned on Care.com. I was a Youth development leader for an afterschool program working with grades 2nd- 8th grade. A daycare teacher years prior with a full classroom of 3-5 year olds with many different personalities. I’m very patient, attentive and overall someone that you can trust to have your child’s happiness and safety as my first priority. I have plenty of experience with infants through the same day care, Care.com, and family members as well. I like active play time, whether that be indoors and/or outdoors. My motto is positive reinforcement when needed, compassion always and genuine integrity. Any child in my space will be loved, protected and treated no differently than I would with the children I adore dearly in my family. I love extending my warmth to the babies. My services come with assistance with laundry, light cooking, errands, and doctor appointments. I’m not allergic to any pets or worried to work around them.

"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."
