About Sara
Experience: 10 yrs
Hello! My name is Sara and I am a 32-year-old nanny with over 14 years of professional experience. I have worked with children ranging in age from infant newborn to teenagers, as well as children with special needs and even multiples. I have completed several child psychology courses, counseled with children in organizations like big brother, big sister, and I am certified in pediatric CPR and DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy) which a cognitive behavioral treatment that helps treat a wide range of disorders from borderline personality disorder (BPD) to depression and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). DBT focuses on four basic sets of behavioral skills. Mindfulness: the practice of being fully aware and present in this one moment. Distress Tolerance: how to tolerate pain in difficult situations, not change it. Interpersonal Effectiveness: how to ask for what you want and say no while maintaining self-respect and relationships with others. Emotion Regulation: how to change emotions

Sara is very gifted. She loves children and works hard to nurture each child and/or disabled person. We had a foster home with several hundred people passing through it over the years. She grew up learning the values needed to give from the heart, to care for each person/child. Sara looks for the needs of each child/person and understands their needs. She is amazing, dependable and enjoys caring for others. Her devotion comes from her heart and it shows. Over the years, each person/child she has worked with, has always said kind things. I say these things not as her mother but as a business woman, the character she shows and the work she does, is hard to find. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, dependable, responsible, respectable, hardworking person, to care for their love ones.
