I was born and raised in Illinois, then I moved to Tampa, Florida, November 2013, for fun. I recently moved back to Illinois and I'm here to stay. I studied special education at a community college for a year and then I studied early childhood development for a year as well. I am a fun-loving gal and love to stay active! I like to play games indoors and outdoors. While In Illinois, I was a personal support worker for a boy with autism from the ages of 7-12, and with 2 down syndrome clients from the ages of 21-25. During my time in Tampa, I had 2 nanny positions, one for a family whom I started working for when the child was 6 months old, and she's now 1 and the family no longer needs my care. The second family I worked for, I started when the child was 2 months old, he's now 7 months old and he was put into a daycare facility. After I had lived in Florida for a few months, I realized how much I missed my family and decided to move back to Illinois and left my job with a very heavy heart. I love to nanny and take care of children.

    Sarah is amazing! She helped me take care of my infant/toddler and we enjoyed every minute with her. Our daughter is normally very shy with strangers, however she warmed up pretty quickly with Sarah. By the 3rd day, she got excited when she came through the door. Having an 8 month old, it's difficult because they can't come out and say, "mommy, I liker her" or "mommy, I don't like her" and give a reason. However by my daughter 's reaction to her, it was obvious. Sarah was kind, gentle, education and stern when needed. She asked before taking liberties at my house and with my daughter. She always checked before she took her anywhere or did something new. It was very refreshing and comforting. We miss Sarah and I will look forward to her visiting us.
