This is the background check we require for all caregivers.
Experience: 10 yrs
When I was 13 and allowed to start babysitting, I already had a waiting list of parents who recognized my gift with young children. After 20 years of providing care, I have not lost my silly charm, only gained the experience necessary to help raise children safely and teach boundaries. My favorite part of working with young children is being able to imbue them with a strong sense of independence and discipline, but also show them how better behavior can lead to more fun and silliness. My dog is an integral part of teaching kids gentleness with friends and is beloved by all my children (and half of the toddlers of Roslindale at this point). I don't allow screen time 99% of the time (exceptions include sickness and a sibling having a class where there is nowhere for a kid to run around) and love reading time and crafts.

My husband and I are going to be very sad to see Sarah move on from our family, and we know that she will find a family that loves her as much as we have. Sarah started watching our daughter when she was 5 months old. I was going back to work for the first time, and was anxious about all of the elements that come with that transition. Sarah’s calm demeanor helped settle my mind immediately while I was at work. Sarah quickly created a routine with our daughter and watching their relationship grow over the past two years has been such a joy. Sarah prioritized consistency and exploration with our daughter. As a result, our daughter was constantly having new adventures exploring the neighborhood. The two of them were exploring with the friends they had made at the park. These friends have now become our daughters closest friends, and ours as well. Sarah, works with her dog Tasha, and having Tasha in our home has been such a positive experience for our family. Our daughter is not afraid of other dogs and loves giving kisses to Tasha, and at the same time understands how to respect other dogs she does not know. One of our proudest moments was when our daughter officially read 1000 books before kindergarten (she is 2) and received recognition from our local librarian. This accomplishment is all thanks to Sarah.
