About Sarah

Experience: 8 yrs

Hi! I'm kind, thoughtful, & active. I love to take the kids outside where we can explore nature (rather than watching them watch TV), take walks (if parents allow), bring the dog out w/ us, or do some fun arts & crafts, reading, or make-believe inside! My experience: -Newborn baby photographer in maternity units & NICUs (I worked completely solo) -Caring for 1-4 kids at a time & pets, ages 1 yr to 13 yrs, helping kids w/ special needs do HW -Volunteering: church nursery during Sunday services; special needs Sunday School; youth group leader -Companion care: a woman in her 90s with early on-set Alzheimer's; a man in his late 80s who has some dementia; a young man w/ Down syndrome -I'm CPR/AED/First Aid certified I'm able to drive & don't smoke. I started sitting in '15 in the midst of transferring to a new college. I loved it & have been babysitting ever since! I love animals, swimming, walking in nature, old films, & reading. I'm an actress, so jobs like this work w/ my schedule.

Sarah was an amazing babysitter for our boys. She was very creative when it came to finding games and activities, and was able to keep them busy and happy. She is very kind and super sweet with the kids and our cat, and just lovely to be around. We would love to have her as a caretaker again.
