About Sarah

Experience: 4 yrs

I own a design business and am babysitting on an occasional, part-time basis as a fulfilling way to supplement this work. Though I'm relatively new to care. com I have a range of childcare experience, and currently substitute teach (toddler to 8th grade) at a DC day school. I enjoy working with kids of varying ages and am a proud aunt to four and have loved helping my sisters out with care over the years. As a teenager I babysat, taught swim lessons, lifeguarded, coached swim team, and regularly babysat for a family in college. I respect parental values/preferences and enjoy keeping kids engaged and making time together fun through creative activities, reading, and play. Parents tell me I have a calming presence with kids. I enjoy creating welcoming home environments and am happy to help with cooking, cleaning, and pet care. Note: App won't allow me to message unless I apply to a job. If I decline, it's likely due to timing. Please feel free to reach out in the future!

Sarah was great! She arrived on time, and was very patient with my kids who each demand attention and want to do completely different things. She made a scavenger hunt for my daughter when she did not have friends to play with at the park. Would definitely hire again,
