Booked by 1 family in Woodacre, 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

ā€œDori 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. ā€

"We were incredibly grateful that Maya was able to help us out with a last-minute childcare emergency. She matched our 9-year-old's energy with arts & crafts, some quiet reading, and a walk around the neighborhood. We'd have Maya back in a heartbeat!"
