Sara $18 per hour for 1 child

I’m Sara, a twenty year old student at William and Mary. I’ve been babysitting for over 6 years now. I have experience with all ages. Most recently I was an Au Pair in Australia for a 6 month old and a 4 year old. I love doing activities with the kids in my care. Either outside playing sports and games, or doing crafts inside. Whatever the weather and circumstances allow for. I pride myself on being very organized and punctual. I’m looking for part time, or occasional jobs over the summer. Whether that be childcare, household work, or running errands. Please feel free to reach out with questions!

"We were incredibly grateful that Maya was able to help us out with a last-minute childcare emergency. She matched our 9-year-old's energy with arts & crafts, some quiet reading, and a walk around the neighborhood. We'd have Maya back in a heartbeat!"
