About Sarah

Experience: 5 yrs

Childhood is such a crucial life stage that impacts the rest of our lives. With over five years of professional experience plus the 12 years I've been a parent, I bring a whimsical, child-centered approach to care while maintaining clear safety boundaries. My background includes a graduate degree with coursework in Early Child Development, and I am a certified peer counselor trained to support children through grief and trauma using art as a means of healing and expression. I have also been trained in CPR. Whether we are playing board games, tackling puzzles, or engaging with technology, I prioritize meaningful interaction in ways that help children feel valued and heard without being a pushover. I am very comfortable enforcing household rules and will follow your preferred communication method for daily updates. I have experience caring for neurodivergent kiddos and am LGBTQ+. Overall, I prioritize creating a nurturing environment where your children feel like they matter.

I worked with Sarah T. as Community Liaison. As Director of Strategic Operations, she secured grants, managed funding, and compassionately connected grieving families with resources. She organized an event for Maui wildfire survivors, providing financial aid, supplies, counseling, toys, and more. Her transparent communication, empathy, and ability to recognize unspoken needs make her an exceptional caregiver. Angel C
