Hello - My name is Sara. I am a senior at Goucher College and I am offering part-time child care. I have been working in childcare for over 5 years with experience in private home, preschool, and school-age care. Having worked in schools, I am CPR and First Aide certified as well as having obtained a certification in 45-hour Childcare Growth and Development. I love babsitting and have worked with toddlers and kids since I was 13 years old. My responsibilities have included tutoring, making crafts, providing snack and pre made meals. I love working with pets especially dogs and cats. Unfortunetly, as much as I admire them I cannot work with reptiles or insects.
I have worked with children and youth since high school. I had the desire to work with children and youth as an adult however I haven’t had the chance to really balance that with school and work. Now that I am older and have more availability I want to pursue my passion with working with children and youth. I have a degree in family and humanities and I am a veteran. Over the years I’ve always wanted to pursue having a daycare center or a family based childcare. I still have that passion so I am looking to build a trusted and useful community for those who need my services. I am looking to provide support to families who do not work the traditional 9 to 5 working hours. My services is available for those who work non-traditional hours. The evening/overnight shift and those who work various changing work schedules. I received my experience with working with children and youth through internships, community engagements, and helping family and friend when they need a babysitter. I am willing to experience more hands on opportunities with you and your family. I believe that my passion for working with children of all ages will get me the experience I need to run a successful business. Please feel free to contact me. Excited to work with you.
