About Sarah

Experience: 10 yrs

I am a certified elementary teacher. I have been babysitting for the past 20 years. I have babysat for 1-6 children in ages ranging from newborn infants on up to junior high aged children. I also have experience caring for twins. On occasion, I have provided overnight care for families lasting from an overnight up to a week long. I enjoy reading, cooking, baking, singing songs and crafting. I teach full-time Monday through Friday in Waterloo and typically have late afternoon and evenings available as well as weekends. I have my own transportation and am willing to travel throughout the Cedar Valley as I live in Waverly but work and visit family in Waterloo nearly daily. I have no problem with picking up items you request from the store or completing other errands before coming to your home. I am comfortable with most pets as I have 2 dogs of my own and had cats growing up. I am a non-smoker. I limit my cell phone use to business only while providing child care.
