Hi! My name is Sarah and I am currently a senior at Central Connecticut State University. I am in the honors program there and have a 4.0 GPA. I have been a babysitter since I was 13 years old (I am now 20), thus giving me 7 years of experience. Along with babysitting I have also worked at a daycare for over a year in which I worked with children from infancy to toddlers. I have experience with diaper changing, bottle feeding, potty training, and being able to provide creative, engaging activities for children! I currently work at an elementary school as a Social Emotional Behavioral Intern, in which I work with children on handling their emotions and how to self regulate themselves. My experiences have given my the skills to both entertain a child as well as understand their emotional needs. I am also CPR, PMT, EpiPen, and medications Read more certified. I am a bubbly, outgoing person who would love this opportunity!
