About Sarah

Experience: 4 yrs

Before becoming an aunt to two lovely little lasses (pictured), I spent a few years as a babysitter and subsequently became a nanny to three energetic boys before going to college. After focusing on my field of study in commercial photography, I craved childcare work again. I've worked with two sisters as a mother's helper for 2 years previously, and as a nanny most currently to one kiddo under 2. My attitude with children is the same as it is to everyone. Be kind to yourself and others. Find the positive. Move your body. I try to spend time outside, interacting with nature, as much as possible. I value reading and love weekly library trips. I hand select books for kiddos interests at their level as well as areas that need improvement from counting to sharing. Cooking together is a great teaching tool. Cleaning up is a must, everyone pitches in. I can be a stickler for pleases and thank yous as I was taught by my Babushka to start young if you want it to stick.

Sarah has been a truly phenomenal nanny for our toddler. Her ability to come up with a seemingly endless number of fun and creative activities is remarkable, and we've loved seeing the new drawings, paintings, and crafts our toddler brings home almost daily. To further nurture our toddler's love of books, Sarah has gone above and beyond, regularly visiting her local library to pick out new books tailored to our toddler's current interests. We also deeply appreciate her attention to detail, as she consistently kept thorough notes about our toddler's day for our end-of-day recaps. Sarah is a hard worker and was always willing to help out with various light housekeeping tasks when needed. She has been consistently on time and reliable, and her positive attitude has created a wonderful and nurturing environment for our toddler. We highly recommend her for your family!
