About Sara

Hello :) My name is Sara and I am 41 years old. I Have over 15 years of Caregiving experience with children of all ages . I think all children are absolutely amazing and truly enjoy helping them learn and grow . From newborns to toddlers , to big kids , I know that all children have different needs for the many stages of growth And development they go through , and I pride myself on creating an environment that is individual to your family and child's needs . I love the outdoors and am a huge fan of active learning and learning through play . I create arts and crafts and games, and find books to read , And songs to sing to tailor to your child's changing interests :)

We feel incredibly lucky to have had Sara as part of our family for the past few years. She has cared for our son since he was 2 (he’s now 4.5), and has since lovingly looked after our younger son and older daughter as well—including all three at once on occasion! Her calm, joyful presence brings such peace to our home. She’s emotionally attuned, endlessly patient, and never seems overwhelmed—even during the rare toddler meltdown. Sara is the kind of caregiver who plays, not just supervises. She sings, tells stories, brings her own sensory bins, and dreams up the most creative arts and crafts projects. Our home is filled with handmade treasures from Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, and every holiday in between. She also taught our kids sign language and nurtures their emotional intelligence with genuine warmth and intention. The way she speaks to them—as curious, capable little people—has made them wonderfully articulate and deeply thoughtful. She takes them on enriching outings to the library, free community events, swim lessons, and even Disneyland (since we all have passes!). She’s also built a beautiful little community around them—her radiant energy naturally attracts others, and our sons now have a close-knit group of friends they see regularly on weekday adventures. We trust Sara completely, and our kids absolutely adore her. She is truly a godsend—some magical blend of Mary Poppins and Cinderella—and any family would be beyond lucky to have her in their lives.
