About Sarah
Experience: 10 yrs
Hello! My name is Sarah, and my approach with children is built on a foundation of compassion, play, and a deep respect do the emotional world of every child. With years of experience in mentoring g children-from tummy time with infants to trekking in the wilderness with teens-I try to create an environment filled with warmth, understanding, and a little bit of magic. I love to guide youth to explore their feelings, build confidence in their own abilities, and discover their capacity to move through hard things. The safety and wellbeing of the children in my care is always my first priority, supported by my training in Wilderness First Aid and years of experience in backcountry. For the littles in my care, you can expect days filled with laughter, storytelling, and imaginative adventures, all woven together with the gentle support they need to feel safe and understood. My rate is $30/hr, and I would love to connect. Please reach out with any questions.
Most recent review
Sarah was an incredible nanny for our 4 year old son for nearly a year. She was creative, energetic, and playful, but also helped him navigate challenging moments by talking through his feelings. She has a wonderful ability to communicate with littles that allows their feelings to come out. She held great boundaries that allowed our son to feel safe and taught him so much about caring for others. She even taught him first aid skills that he still remembers and uses to care for friends. Her knowledge of flowers and plants was especially fun because she brought so many ideas for crafts and activities to our child. Sarah integrated seamlessly into our family and helped during a challenging move and distributive time in our family’s life. I will forever be thankful that we found her in Care.com.
