I am an a honest, positive, caring, responsible, hard working, organized, fun individual who has 40 plus years experience in raising/taking care of children. I am a Mother of three daughters and an Oma of 2 grandchildren. 
While living in Chester, New York I was blessed that my girls were raised on a farm. 
I've always owned a dog, cat and rabbit. I love animals so that is a plus while taking care of children.
I want to make a difference in people's lives, especially children as I feel as though I have a lot to offer. I have many references upon request. I was living in Florida but have since moved to upstate New York. Please contact me for more details. I look forward to hearing from you!

Doreen was an amazing babysitter! She was prompt, calm, friendly and set us at ease leaving our 3 yr old and 4 month old in her care. I highly recommend Doreen and if you are in the Catskill area book her! She was super communicative and took excellent care of my kids! My daughter the next day was asking where Ms.Doreen was and if she was coming back! 😀

Doreen was a joy to work with. She had amazing communication leading up to her first evening babysitting for us, and did a great job.

Doreen was a natural with my boys and they fell for her immediately. Doreen was punctual, communicative, and kind. We hope to see her again and often.

Doreen made a weekend away in the Catskills with friends so enjoyable. She was so easy to communicate with, trustworthy, and stayed with our sleeping babies so the parents could gather for dinners. What a lovely person all around! So nice meeting you and hopefully we can have you stay with the kids again for future trips. Thanks, Doreen!

As stated by so many others, Doreen is an extremely special person! She was communicative while we were planning, showed up right on time-and even had age-appropriate toys for the kids! 

Doreen made sure the kids had a great time, even while staying in a small hotel room. My son asked if Doreen could come to our house every day for almost a week after she watched him! 

If you have the opportunity to meet and/or hire Doreen, you should absolutely take it!

Doreen is such a special person and any family that is lucky enough to hire her will soon know how fortunate our family feels since she has come into our lives.  

The kids adore her and she does so much more than attend to the kids every need. Doreen is like hiring a nanny, house cleaner, and personal shopper all in one but at a fraction of the cost. 

Most importantly, we know that the kids are safe when Doreen is here.  Everything she does on top of that is a a bonus but honestly our house wouldn't be nearly as clean and our minds nearly as sane if it wasn't for Doreen. Thank you for bringing so much relief to our busy lives.

Doreen is amazing!! She is so good with the kids and you can tell how much she truly cares. She does our laundry, dishes and other light cleaning without being asked. She has so much experience and I feel 100% comfortable leaving her with my children. She is so thoughtful and always goes above and beyond. My children love her and so do we!

Doreen is amazing!! As a first time mom I was very nervous about letting someone watch my 6 month old son. We are dog people so when she came for her interview and my dogs didn't even bark and went right to her. I knew it was going to be a good fit. She is very punctual and always communicates if we have a scheduling conflict. We have been using her for date night once a week for the last 4 months. She has also house sat for us a few times. I tell all of my friends and family about her.  She is kind and loving not only towards my son but to us and the puppies as well. I hope she can remain a part of our lives for years to come. Thank you Doreen!!!

Doreen is such a blessing to our family ! I have a 9 yr old and 12 yr old and she always keeps them busy with games or activities. They even ask when she's babysitting next which is a first EVER! She goes above and beyond when she's here and even does light house work which is so helpful and appreciated. Nothing worse than coming home to a upside down house when you have a sitter . I know another family that uses Doreen and they adore her as well. She even helped the kids bake me a cake for my bday and paint gifts. That touched my heart .

Doreen has been a true blessing to our family. From the very first day she was caring, sweet and very attentive to the kids needs. We have an 8 year old, 4 year old and 8 month old, so a very busy house. Doreen has no trouble caring for all the kids, making meals, bath time and bed time. She reads to them and plays with them all while keeping the house spotless!!! She even does our laundry when the kids go to bed! To say we found a true gem is an understatement. I am very particular when it comes to my kids and I very rarely trust new babysitters, but we got lucky with Doreen and I hope you are lucky enough to share your kids with her as well!!

Doreen is really wonderful.  She cared for my daughters, and also my pets.  She is dependable and loving.  I would recommend her and continue to use her to assist with our family.  She also does a great job always tidying up and cleaning, even when not asked.

Doreen is the most caring, loving caregiver I know! She goes above & beyond anyone I have ever met before.  Truly one in a million!

What a treasure! Doreen was introduced to me by an attorney that I work with and that day was a blessing to me. I have now been working with Doreen for years. She can do it all. You can call me as a reference and trust her completely. She would be a welcome addition to your family. Everyone loves Doreen. Have no hesitations when hiring her.
5 Stars all the way!

I have known Doreen since the first grade! Doreen has the kindest of hearts and the most amazing work ethic of anyone I know!  Doreen is a self-starter. If Doreen sees that something needs to get done she is on top of it immediately and she does it with a kind heart and a smile on your face. I have five children and Doreen has helped me many times to watch over them and to care for them in my absence. I trust her 100% to be in care of them and know that they will be treated with the same respect and kindness that she gives her own children.  My last note regarding Doreen is that she is an up beat person with a great personality and can make me laugh and my family laugh even in the dullest of days!

Doreen worked with our family for over a year- date nights, overnights, school drop offs, and extended vacations. She was a blessing to our family and became like a second grandmother to my 5 & 6 year olds. My children were always happy, fed, well rested, and looked forward to seeing Doreen. My house was also always tidied, dishes done, laundry running when I returned home :)

Doreen was incredible housekeeper. Everyone in my family loved her. She came to work everyday with a smile! She not only ran the house ( cleaning, food shopping, cooking etc) she also managed to problem solve any issues in the house . We miss her terribly!

So happy we found Doreen! My whole family just adores her! She is hardworking, kind, honest, patience, loving and just an all around awesome person!
