Hello Families! My name is Sara. I have both professional and personal experience in caring for children of all ages. I am CPR and AED certified. I am trilingual with fluency in English and Amharic, and limited working proficiency in Spanish. I also have previous K-5 tutoring experience and as a college student myself, I understand the value of education. I am very active and have no problem playing with little ones for long periods of time. I am open to offering homework assistance, teaching practical skills, taking children outside or to practice, helping within the house (cooking, laundry, errands, planning, light tidying,etc) and anything else you may need in between. I also have experience in pet care (dog-walking and cat-sitting). I take pride in being dependable, attentive, and supportive. It would be my pleasure and goal to help make your daily routine easier in any way I can.

Hi! I’ve worked with over 40 families, including several long-term (over a year with some). I provide reliable, nurturing childcare and can assist with meal prep and light housekeeping when combined with child care (for an additional fee). I’m CPR/First Aid certified and happy to help with homework support. I’m currently looking for a long-term, part-time position with a great family. Previously, I lived in Colombia for 2 years, where I taught kindergarten through 2nd grade, and also led extracurricular classes for middle school students. Was teaching English for kids in some villages in Bali. I also worked as a personal assistant, so I’m comfortable adapting to different routines and family dynamics. I speak English, Indonesian, and Spanish, and I love animals so dogs and cats are always welcome. In my free time, I’m very active and love trying new sports , currently doing horseback riding and crossfit and I’ve also enjoyed archery, bouldering, and other adventurous activities.

Hi Families!
