As the oldest sister of two young boys, I found myself being a mom, a friend, a teacher, and a counselor. Throughout the years of watching them grow, they have taught me so much about how to better communicate with kids, understanding one another’s emotions/ how to work through them, creativity, and most importantly, patience. One of the biggest skills I have developed from my experience with kids is patience. I believe it is important to understand that this is their first time experiencing the world so it requires patience and understanding on our part for them to grow. I’m big on not only direct learning but also creative learning. I’ve worked with children in classroom settings in the past which has given me a good idea of learning strategies they respond to best. Finding new ways to make learning fun for kids is one of my favorite things because Read more as a college student, I find myself needing a reminder that education can still be entertaining. To kids everything is so new and exciting and it’s a blast to be a part of that journey. My main goal is to be able to help children, especially young ones, to learn new and valuable skills that can later help them in life. From the basic things such as knocking homework out so you don’t worry about it later to, developing different ways to express themselves and building positive habits. Some things about me: * I speak french * I was a lifeguard for 2 1/2 years * I am CPR certified * I have done private swim lessons for kids 6+ * I cook and bake * Great at cleaning * Reliable * Good time management * Responsible

Sandrine has been hugely valuable to our family. Our entire family immediately took to her, giving this momma peace of mind. She babysat for us and even took care of the dog who doesn’t like many people. She kept the play area organized and made sure my instructions were followed, though better than that was her innate ability to bond with our 3yo. who felt safe, cared for, and understood while having lots of indoor/outdoor playtime, trail walks, playground and pool time. On the days she visited, our evenings were calm, where we could all unwind, dine, and get to bed. She was always professional, pleasant, fun, joyful, uplifting, caring, selfless, polite and kind - all characteristics we want our child to model. Always on time. Reliable. The BEST written and verbal communication skills of anyone I’ve seen and interviewed on sittercity. Sandrine is a true joy, a big part of our family who will be sorely be missed. Our family was very blessed by her calming presence in our lives. She was incredibly helpful, and always offered to assist when she saw something was needed. She set the bar high for future sitters!
