About Sarah

Experience: 7 yrs

Hourly rate $25 (negotiable) Certificated Newborn Care Specialist ~7 years of childcare experience Currently a Preschool Teacher Will need to give at least 2 weeks of notice to current job Making a positive impact on children's lives is my passion, which is why I've dedicated the last seven years to providing reliable care for families. I enjoy supporting parents and creating a nurturing environment for children aged newborn to 11. My approach is patient and calm, and I love incorporating creativity into playtime with board games, puzzles, and educational play. I am very comfortable enforcing household rules and always follow parents' preferred communication methods to keep you informed about your child's day. I hold current First Aid Training and CPR Training certifications, and I'm happy to help with carpooling. I also speak Portuguese. I'm excited about the possibility of bringing my experience and love for childcare to your family.
