Booked by 1 family in Lynnwood, WA

I have 5 years of experience working with children in a professional childcare setting. I also have 4 years of experience petsitting dogs, cats, and exotic pets. I grew up with pets and currently have a dog so I am very comfortable working with animals. I enjoy providing care to families, whether that is taking care of children or simply running errands and cleaning around the home. I am bilingual in English and Russian.

Booked by 1 family in Lynnwood, WA

Hello everyone! My name is Sarra, and I live in Greenwood, Seattle. I earned my bachelor’s degree in Public Health Global Health from the University of Washington (Go Huskies!). I’ve been working as a full-time community navigator. A significant part of my job involves interacting with families and kids to create fun activities and events. I am wanting to work as a babysitter a few times a week with families who need help after school, weekends or date night! I’m musically inclined and believe that music has the power to heal any wound. I’ve always loved children and was the most trusted family member to watch over my little cousins. I have experience working with toddlers, young children, and teenagers aged 3 to 17. I’ve also worked with children on the spectrum. In my experience, I engage children in activities they enjoy the most and provide them with ideas to explore. I go out of my way to find the best activities to keep them occupied, such as learning a new language (I’m multilingual and speak French and Arabic), writing, drawing, or painting. The activities can vary depending on the child’s interests and passions. Some children love reading sessions, while others prefer singing, coloring, and drawing with music on, or simply playing board games like puzzles and interactive Lego construction games! Exploring the outdoors is also a fun activity to do if interested! I can help with homework and tutoring in various subjects, including English, Math, STEM subjects, and many others. I’m also a great cook and make all sorts of sandwiches, meals, and quick snacks that your children will love! If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to send me a message. I’d be more than happy to answer them for you.
