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 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! 😊

"We absolutely LOVE Isa — our family was so fortunate to have found her through UrbanSitter. I'm a first-time mom, and it took me a long time to find a full-time nanny I could trust to care for our sweet infant boy. Our boy connected with her immediately, and we couldn't have asked for anyone else to care for him. Her calming presence was also perfect for parents like us who work from home. We feel so lucky UrbanSitter helped us find someone who has truly become a part of our family."

"I was so stressed about finding a part-time nanny for my 14-month-old son, who has moderate separation anxiety and hadn't been left with anyone but family before, but we were both immediately at ease in Buhay's presence. Her empathy and commitment to understanding child development are apparent in every interaction I've witnessed between her and my toddler. I feel very lucky to have found her."

"Erna watched our now 5 year old daughter and 3 year old son for a few years. She is punctual, responsible, honest, and playful. What we appreciated most was that she was thoughtful in ensuring that we had a little break; for example, when the kids were clingy, she was able to divert their attention with games or songs or walks to the park. We felt very comfortable leaving our kids with Erna because of her caring nature and experience that spans a decade (including being a live-in nanny)."
