I have always loved caregiving. I know the importance of relieving the burdens of parents and giving their child(ren) a fun and safe experience. As somebody with extensive experience in the professional, academic, and childcare world, I find myself as a perfect fit to take care of your children in your absence. I am great with pets, as I have had well over eight pets growing up. I love cooking, hiking, fishing, science, math, and the arts. I am patient, organized, punctual, helpful, and caring. I will make it my greatest effort to be the best caretaker you can find for your family and look forward to our collaboration! I limit screen time while caretaking and prefer families whose routines are not screen-dependent. Rates vary by travel and responsibility level. Pay is set by prior agreement and not adjusted for early arrival or conclusion; additional time must be compensated. For transparency and safety, cameras in common areas are preferred; I may use my own if none are present.
Sage was a great caregiver to our 6 month old and was able to help out in a pinch when daycare unexpectedly closed. She asked great questions, highlighting her clear understanding of different stages of childhood development as well and different parenting styles, and was in consistent communication throughout the day. I highly recommend her and can’t wait to have her look after our LO again.
