About Sarah
Experience: 30 yrs
Hi, I'm Sarah! I'm a professional nanny and household manager with 30+ years of experience caring for children from newborns through teens. I'm also a full-spectrum doula with 25+ years of experience and a background in childbirth education, lactation education, midwifery assistance, newborn care, and early childhood development. I have extensive experience with infants, multiples, NICU graduates, and neurodivergent children, including those with autism, ADHD, sensory differences, epilepsy, and developmental needs. My approach is warm, playful, patient, inclusive, and neurodivergent-affirming. I love art, music, outdoor adventures, developmental play, and helping children grow while honoring who they are. I'm also experienced with meal prep, laundry, organization, errands, schedules, and household management. I'm LGBTQIA+ affirming, CPR/First Aid trained, fully vaccinated, comfortable with pets, and have reliable transportation.
Most recent review
Sarah has helped me with my 5 kids from when they came home from the NICU - when they aged out of needing care. She would still be my first call if I needed overnight care. She is fantastic at working with neurodivergent kids and adults. She is also comfortable and skilled with kids needing medical care/kids with assistive devices. Sarah is great with keeping kids engaged, active, and with creative play. 10/10 will/would use again.
