About Dora
Experience: 10 yrs
Thank you taking the time to review my profile. Please feel free to contact me directly for additional information as needed. I am a highly energetic, caring, and fun-loving person. As a mother of three wonderful adult girls and six grandchildren between them, I know a great deal about babies and small children. In fact, with over 25 years of professional child care experience I provide more than the average babysitter or nanny. I love taking the children under my care for daily walks to the park, the beach or any place where fresh air and sunshine is available. This makes for happy, healthy babies. Their daily routine may include music, exercise and dance, learning colors and shapes, counting and letters. With the goal towards early kindergarten preparation. As a plus, I just so happen to be fluent in both English and Spanish with limited Japanese thrown in for fun. I also introduce the children to Sign Language as early as 12 months old. They will learn to sign words such as "More Please", "All Done", "Dog", "Cat", "Birds" and of course "Mom","Dad" and "Love". Daily story time for children of all ages, enhances their vocabulary and reading readiness. Not to mention, it is one of me favorite activities. I help them with seasonal crafts and art projects. Yes, more joy to be posted on the refrigerator door, for a proud mom and dad. And if requested, I can provide photos and short video's of special moments, such as, the child's first words, first steps, or just a day at the park. It would be my pleasure to meet with your family and explore how I might serve you and your children. Thank you for your consideration. Dora

Dora is a wonderful mix of cheerful kindness and intelligence. Every time she visits us she has a smile and puts forth so much effort to make sure that our 2 year old is well attended to. She cooks, is incredibly tidy and even takes time to play with the dog after our little one is asleep. It's so reassuring knowing that I can trust her and I know that even in an emergency she would know exactly what to do. We feel very lucky to have found her.
