Booked by 3 families in Folsom, PA

I am a proud mom of two beautiful daughters who are now 22 and 20 years old. Raising them gave me so much hands-on experience with children of all ages, and I absolutely loved every stage. I also have professional experience working in daycare settings, especially with infants and toddlers. I've cared for babies from a very young age, handling feeding, naps, diapering, and all the daily routines with patience and care. In addition, I've had the opportunity to support children with special needs through activities tailored to their abilities, and I really enjoy creating fun, engaging play-based activities that help kids learn and grow—whether it's sensory play, arts and crafts, music, outdoor time, or simple developmental games. I'm reliable, nurturing, and energetic, and I treat every child as if they were my own. I'd love to chat more about how I can support your family! Looking forward to hearing from you,

Tara was prompt, took directions well and very pleasant. My kids really liked and enjoyed her.

Booked by 3 families in Folsom, PA

Hi! I'm Sarah, it's nice to meet you! My education: I recently graduated from college with a Bachelor's in Psychology and Philosophy. Currently I am a graduate student pursuing a Master's in Professional Counseling. I have taken classes on development and childhood as part of my course work. My experience with children: I have babysat mostly school-age children in the past (5-13), but I have some experience with toddlers as well. I also used to lead a crafting and learning time at a nature center in high school, where I taught kids about an aspect of nature/the environment and lead them through a related art project. I am able to help with homework and love making learning fun. My experience with pets: I have owned many different kinds of pets including dogs, snakes, birds, bunnies, and even an alligator! I love animals and am a fast learner for any animal I don't have experience with. A bit about me: I am the oldest of 7 kids, so growing up I often took on caretaking roles around the house. I loved tutoring my younger siblings, cooking dinner for my family, and generally "babysitting" them when my parents weren't home. My oldest brother is on the autism spectrum and has a variety of special needs, which has given me some first hand experience with what taking care of a special needs individual can look like. My siblings also gave me experience navigating dietary restrictions and severe allergies.

Sarah works great with my daughter & we look forward to seeing her again!
