About Sarah

Experience: 10 yrs

I have 20+ years of experience as a stay-at-home mom and as a nanny-babysitter, eight years as a substitute teacher and currently working as an instructional assistant for FCPS. I also have a master's degree in social work and have some experience with special needs kids, but like to get a feel for your child(ren). I can help with light housekeeping and light meal prep. If you need hours not listed, please ask, sometimes flexible hours. Communication is key-written is best but will also transcribe what needs to be done. Just need if possible: *emergency numbers: contacts, police, wifi access (to text in case of emergencies) *fave toys, games, pets, food, shows *known allergies *extra food, clothes, diapers, snacks *routines: when to put them to sleep *dos and don'ts, likes and dislikes *medical insurance info just in case *schedule bathing, sleeping, eating, tips I like to read to kids and teach them developmentally appropriate skills if possible.

Sarah has watched my son since he was a toddler, he’s in high school now. She is good at figuring out where his interests are and engaging him. It could be practicing math problems or singing. He enjoys when Sarah comes out to watch him.
