Booked by 1 family in Novato, CA
My name is Dorisiya, and I have extensive experience working with and caring for children. I'm a music teacher and teach privately and in groups, and I'm also a part time nanny. I earned my Masters degree from Boston Conservatory and lived there for a while before moving to the Bay Area. Currently, I teach at the Maud Powell String Institute in Novato, CA and babysit part time. Previously, I was a part-time caregiver for Care.com and College Nannies/Sitters. I work with all ages. Additionally, I am a pet sitter and offer in-home visits or walks. I have 2 years of experience as a licensed cat sitter and am currently dog sitting through the Rover app. Please feel free to reach out with any questions or concerns, and I'll be happy to answer those. I am taking assignments both in Marin County and San Francisco as I split my time there. Thanks! Sincerely, Dorisiya
“Dori was great - took care of our two cats while my family was out of the country. She went really above and beyond when one of our cats seemed to be be sick, even offering to go back to our place multiple times to check on her. Great communication. Really nice to find someone you can trust - would love to work with her again. ”

I am a dedicated TK Para with a strong professional background in healthcare and behavioral health. I thrive in supportive roles and believe in the power of nurturing environments. My passion truly lies in working with children, | absolutely love kids! This is fueled by my own experience as a mother to two wonderful boys, aged 5 and 14. Balancing the energy of a kindergartner with the curiosity of a teenager gives me unique perspective, patience, and enthusiasm that I bring into both my professional and personal life. I am committed to helping children learn, grow, and succeed! In addition to helping children learn and grow, I can help with light housework work as well as cook and meal preparation.
“We’ve had such a great experience with Devon! She’s watched my 3-year-old a few times now for date nights, and each time my daughter has been comfortable, happy, and well cared for. The biggest compliment is that my daughter asked for her again, which says everything. Devon did art projects with my little one, and when we came home there was so much beautiful artwork they had created together. She also cooked my daughter’s dinner and cleaned up, which I truly appreciated. I felt completely at ease leaving my child in her care and would absolutely recommend her to any family looking for a kind, engaging, and trustworthy babysitter.”

My name is Amy. I am a former preschool teacher of over 15 years and have a lot of experience as a nanny. I have cared for children from 2 weeks to 12 years old, and have two children of my own. I am reliable, responsible, creative, nurturing, and very safety conscious. I enjoy working together with families to really find what's best for their child. I'm great with scheduling, time management, potty training, positive discipline, sleep training, and inspiring learning and growth! I love exploring nature with children and doing lots of art projects. I am first aid and CPR certified. I'm always happy to help with light housekeeping, organizing, food prep and errands if needed. I am a part time certified health and wellness coach and believe it's important to incorporate this into my work with children as well!! In my spare time, I love to make jewelry, cook, and spend time with my family.

"UrbanSitter is my go-to for quality sitters! I can book weeks ahead of time or easily find a same-day sitter when in a bind. I even hired a part-time nanny during a daycare transition. Customer service is helpful and babysitters respond in a timely manner."
