Looking for work as a babysitter or nanny

  • 10 years paid experience
  • Babysitter in Round Lake, IL 60073

Meet Sarah

  • Comfortable with pets
  • Has a car

Hi there! I'm Sarah. I recently decided to go back to school and am in the process of gaining a bachelor's degree in computer science (with a minor in digital marketing). To focus on school I am currently doing a part-time paid internship at a solar company. I’ve missed babysitting and nannying so much and feel it would be great to jump back in for more income while still doing something I love ♡ I have been caring for children for 10 years as a babysitter and nanny. I was also an assistant preschool teacher for 2 years. I have a lot of experience working with infants and toddlers, and I also spent one year babysitting a 5 year old girl who was on the autism spectrum and blind. I am comfortable with elementary-aged children as well as middle-school aged. I approach each child as an individual who I get Read more to help grow and teach. I absolutely adore working with children. I enjoy crafts, baking, memorable activities, and being as creative as possible. Building memories and having little adventures is my favorite part of working with kids. Nothing makes me happier than running into someone who I used to babysit and remembering all the fun times we had together! I have so missed working with children while I spent the last few years in corporate settings and feel now that I'm back in school and have the flexibility to work with kids now is a great time to return to that. I can provide references upon request. I'd love to meet you and get to know your children! I do request a zoom or google meet interview before in-person meetings, if this sounds good to you please reach out :)

Incredibly kind, courteous and helpful! My daughter has not stopped talking about Sarah and they only had about an hour together before she had to go down for her nap! Sarah has a very warm demeanor and my daughter and I were smitten. We hope to have her back in our home soon.
