Hi, I’m Sarah! I’ve spent several years caring for my nieces and nephews, which gave me an early foundation in childcare. For the past four years, I’ve also gained professional experience providing childcare for families outside of my own.I’ve cared for children of various ages, from infants to school-aged children, and have experience caring for multiple children at a time. I’m comfortable assisting with meals, daily routines, playtime, activities, naps, bedtime, and other day-to-day needs.I genuinely enjoy working with children and getting to know their personalities. I’m happy to follow each family’s routines and preferences and keep parents updated, with the goal of making sure both the children and their parents feel comfortable and at ease.Looking forward to learning more about your family!
