Sarah $18 per hour for 1 child
Hello! I have over 20 years experience working with children in both childcare centers and home settings. I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Social Work and 12 units of child development coursework, as well as literacy courses. I am also a mother of 2 daughters ages 12 and 2! I LOVE all animals and currently have 2 dogs. I am easy going but structured and organized. I absolutely love spending my time with wonderous children ...and believe that there's nothing more precious in this life than a baby who's learning to crawl (and walk). Although, I recognize and appreciate the lil quirks that come with each stage of development.
