Hi! My name is Sarah I have been babysitting since the age of 16 and it’s always been a passion of mine! I am love to cook for my family and friends, I can clean, organize, and run errands. Having responsibilities is what keeps me motivated! I currently work as a swim instructor with the YMCA working with infants, younger children and older kids. I am also taking classes at Rock Valley Community College. Alongside childcare I do believe pet-care is super important and fun! I’m a cat lover myself but dogs are always a joy to be around.
