About Sarah
Experience: 8 yrs
Hello families! I have been a dedicated nanny since 2015 for a wonderful family, but the kids have outgrown me. Now, I am looking for my next adventure! Working with children is my absolute favorite thing in the world, and I've had the privilege of caring for kids of all ages-from newborns to teenagers. I have the unique combination of traits-being both patient and enthusiastic-which are great attributes to have when it comes to working with children. Additionally, I have a high work ethic which makes me great at supporting families as a whole. Apart from being a nanny, I'm also a writer, artist, and musician. I hold degrees in writing and rhetoric, as well as music. Along with my music major, I have experience in teaching music. So, if your little one has a passion for music, I can provide voice lessons, basic piano instruction, and music theory!

Sarah has been our go-to baby-sitter since January 2015. She is caring and professional with our son, who brightens when he sees her. She does everything from playing with him to reading to him to changing him and putting him to bed. Even when our son is fussy, Sarah finds positive ways to calm him down, one of those being to sing to him. She has a lovely voice! I think Sarah is a great care-provider, and seeing the way my son responds to her only confirms this.
