Hello everyone! My name is Sarah, I'm 20 years old, and I just moved to Somerville for the summer. Though I'm new in town, I'm no stranger to working with kids! As the youngest of three, I grew up caring for my nieces and nephews, and at age 12, I made sure to take a babysitting course. Since receiving certification through this course, I've had many experiences caring for babies and children as a babysitter, tutor, and camp counselor. In high school, I also volunteered with my hometown's EMS organization, which has allowed me to build upon the first aid/emergency skills I'd learned initially in babysitter's training; this is all just to say that if we work together, your kids are in good hands! Beyond basic qualifications, as a babysitter, I'm happy to cook, clean/help out around the house, and hope to have a car in Somerville by the end Read more of July, in which case I'd be able to get your kids from place to place. Most importantly, I'll just note that after seven years, I keep coming back to babysitting because I really love it! I love kids, I love connecting with people of all ages (I'm currently pursuing a BA in Psych and hope to someday do so for a living), and I love to know that as a babysitter, I might be making life a little easier for you, a wonderful guardian. Please reach out if you have any questions, I look forward to meeting you!
