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. ”

Nasly $26 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m a caring, responsible, and energetic nanny with over a year of full-time childcare experience as an au pair. I’ve cared for children from ages 1 to 5, helping with daily routines, meals, playtime, bedtime, and creating a safe and fun environment. I love keeping kids active through outdoor play, sports, yoga, arts and crafts, and creative activities that help them learn while having fun. I also enjoy encouraging healthy habits, curiosity, and independence. As a native Spanish speaker, I’m happy to introduce children to Spanish through games, songs, and everyday conversations if that’s something your family is interested in. I’m patient, reliable, and genuinely enjoy building meaningful connections with children while supporting their growth and development. I look forward to meeting your family.

Booked by 1 family in Novato, CA

Hi! I’m a recent college graduate looking for occasional or consistent nannying opportunities that work with my current schedule. I grew up in Marin & I currently work with one family and am in a certificate program, so I’m not available full-time, but I do have solid availability. I was a preschool teacher in San Rafael for a year, have credits in child development, and several years of nanny experience with kids of all ages.

“We feel so blessed to have found Ava to help care for our son. She is kind, smart, responsible, and very reliable. Our son instantly warmed up to Ava, and that is not what always happens. He felt comfortable with her, and so did we almost immediately. She is very easy going and creates an overall calm atmosphere in our home. She finds creative ways to play with our son, she takes him to the park and let's him explore while always being there to guide him, she reads to him, she plays water games outside with him when it's warm, she builds little forts and play stations for him while he naps for him to wake up to, and she even walks our chihuahua for us while our son naps. She is never on her phone while caring for our son, ever. And she's just a nice person. We wish we had met Ava earlier, but we are so happy to have met her now. We couldn't ask for a better and more professional caregiver, and anyone would be lucky to get to work with her.”
