I am Howard University alumnae. I love having an active lifestyle. I’ve been babysitting for the past fourteen years. I teach children from 2-18 years old how to play golf. I love to complete puzzles, play outside, and play with toys. When it comes to deciding one over the other, I would much rather read to your children than have them stare at a television screen. I believe children learn better when they are less reliant on technology for entertainment.
“Ih she's wonderful! Good energy, on time, great communication. My kid just laughed and laughed! She plays well with the kids. So glad to have found her.”

Professional experience includes: 6 years in personal nannying, 10 years in childcare, and 12 years in teaching dance for children. I have extensive experience with infants and toddlers. College graduate and certificate in ASL interpreting and childhood development. CPR Certified. I can provide references! I enjoy caring for others, lightening the mental and physical load of everyday life, and treating your little one the way you would want them to be treated.

“Sarah is the best! She has worked for us for the past two years and has been such an important part of life for our family. She has everything a parent might wish for in a babysitter. She is very responsible, makes good decisions and communicates very clearly. My kid adores spending time with her because she is so playful and creative, always making up fun games and always following his lead. Sarah is very adept though at holding good boundaries, finding teachable moments and creative ways to handle any of my kids more challenging behavior. I could go on and on...... if you are here looking at her profile, you are lucky and have found a real gem!”
Hi! I’m Fatima 😊 I have tons of experience babysitting, I started caring for kids when I was around 15/16, and it quickly became something I genuinely love. Childcare has always felt natural to me. I’m reliable, patient, communicative, and really good at balancing fun with structure. I’ve completed college credits in Child Development, worked as a preschool teacher, and in an after school program with middle school students. I also have experience as a Behavioral Therapist for children with special needs, which strengthened my skills in adapting to each child’s unique needs, supporting routines, and staying calm in challenging moments. I love the chance to support your family. Thank you for checking out my profile I’d be happy to bring a mix of fun, learning, and care to your little one’s day! 💛
