About Sarah
Experience: 10 yrs
After 8 wonderful years of teaching kindergarten, I'm looking forward to pursuing a new path in childcare as a full-time nanny! I will be available when I finish the school year in May 2027. I have 10 years experience nannying and over 15 years experiencr babysitting. I have a passion for teaching children and have always been a nurturer. I love to do fun projects like all kinds of crafts, cooking with the kids, swimming, making blanket forts, going on walks, taking kids to sports and activities, making doing the dishes fun, going to the library, going to the park, finding fun community events for kids, and occasionally treating the kids to an ice cream after the pool. I've even taught several of my nanny kids how to swim and cook! I'd be happy to help out with errands and of course can handle cooking, cleaning, and laundry for the children.
Most recent review
Sarah provided amazing care for my 4 kids for several years. They are actually so sad to not have her be part of our summer even though they are teenagers now! She did a great job of engaging them in activities to keep them active, leaning and using their imagination. She’s prompt, a good communicator and we fully trusted her with the care of our kids. We appreciated her upbeat personality and flexibility as she adjusted to our kids changing schedules.
