Hello! My name is Sarah and I’m a former Elementary School Teacher and nanny. I’m currently offering occasional childcare to help busy families. 💛 I love working with children and witnessing their imaginative minds! My style is kind, playful, and warm with a gentle parenting approach. As a sitter, my top priority is your child’s safety and giving you the peace of mind that they’re in great hands. As a nanny & babysitter my responsibilities have included driving to/from school & activities, homework help, meal prep / bottle prep, light cleaning, and engaging in play. I am also comfortable and happy to work with most animals. Thank you, and looking forward to working with your kiddos! :)
“Sarah is a very professional, reliable, and knowledgeable caregiver. She used to serve as a guest teacher for my classroom and was always amazing with supporting my TK students academically, socially, and emotionally. Sarah has worked with many ages and is great with all of them! I know that when Sarah is taking care of someone, they are in some of the most loving and gentle hands. When I have a child/children, I would fully trust her with them.”
