Hello! My name is Sara, and I've been taking care of kids since I was a kid myself. I started off as a mother's helper around age 11, babysat regularly in middle and high school, and nannied in college. I've worked as a music educator for 14 years with children of all ages. I've always loved working with kids because they are creative, spontaneous, and enthusiastic. I love getting to know their developing personalities and helping foster their curiosity and interests. I go all-in on dramatic play to support their creative development. I communicate with children in a firm yet warm manner. I understand that my role as the adult is to keep things safe and good, and I am skilled at maintaining household rules, enforcing boundaries, and balancing playfulness with firm, calm communication. Kids need consistency, and I am skilled at maintaining bedtime routines and helping children follow household expectations as they would with parents present. I look forward to connecting with you!
Sara has been babysitting for my twin toddlers since they were babies and she’s been wonderful. She’s very energetic, playful, and kind. She sings with our kids (she’s a music teacher!) and and they are always laughing when I overhear her with them. She follows my instructions well, and takes initiative to clean up. She has done everything from cooking them dinner to putting them to bed (no easy feat with twins). Highly recommend!
