Hi Families! I’m Nanny Sarah, 18 years experience. I have seen and done it all! I’m a professional contract Nanny. I have worked with multiples, twins and premature infants.

My kiddos are private school ready at 3 years old. They learn age appropriate physical and mental milestones. I take them on age appropriate outings such as parks, library, beach, zoo, music class, etc. I do sleep/nap training, self feeding training as well as potty training. I also teach them age appropriate speech and language development. Daily light housekeeping such as cleaning the kitchen, children play areas and bedroom, laundry, etc. I make learning and playtime lots of fun! We get messy, do art projects, sing and dance. I’m on the floor playing and interacting with the children, no TV. My kiddos are smart, confident, inclusive, and more importantly polite. They don’t go through toddler tantrums because they are able to communicate what they need and want. I am willing to travel on family trips.
