Booked by 1 family in Fairfax Station, VA

Hi, my name is Sarah and I have a masters in school counseling. I have 15 years of experience working with children, teens and people with disabilities. I also love to babysit my nieces and nephews. I am a former registered behavior technician and know ABA(behavior) therapy. When I’m taking care of young kids I like to read to them, play games, complete puzzles or simply do whatever they enjoy. I also like to take them outdoors to local playgrounds or go for walks if parents permit. In my free time I enjoy live music, painting and spending time with family and friends.

I work as a nanny for over 9 years , my last job I was almost 4 years with the family , they are diplomats , I took care of a couple of 1 year and 2 months old twins and another 4 year old boy . I took care of the children , I organized clothes , I took the older boy to and from school , I took care of the twins full time , we did activities on the street and we went to the playground . I have a letter of recommendation. I am very punctual with schedules and tasks. I can travel with the family if they need to. I can be alone with the children if the parents want to travel alone, as my old bosses travel a lot and left me alone with the children. My last family as a nanny I worked for four years, 2021- 2025 watching twins and an older one. I just left the family end of January this year, but I still doing some work the family as they need. I just left the family because I started college class full time and I couldn’t be full-time nanny for them.

Great experience! My kids love her!
