I was a teacher's aide in both a preschool and pre-K class (and was in a mixed age class, infants- 3 years) before my present job. I have been a part-time and full-time nanny for a family in Lake Forest Park since 2020. Other experiences taking care of children from infants to school aged include day and overnight camp counselor, 1:1 aide for a child with autism, a child with socialization challenges, a child with speech challenges. I enjoy the company of children and am empathetic and a good listener. I can be fun or serious, engage in conversation and enjoy indoor and outdoor time. I like to include nature in my caregiving. I've worked as a professional baker and cook so can enjoy time creating in the kitchen with your kids or for your family. The kids are now in school, so I have part-time and/or occasional availability in Read more the mornings and afternoons until about 1pm. "Sara holds a philosophy of respectful, responsive, reciprocal, relationship, and research-based care for young children. She has impressive observation skills. Her interactions with young children are intentional and based on these observations and reflections. She develops meaningful relationships with young children and meets them where they are developmentally. "Sara was able to see young children in a way that few teachers can. She saw them as fully formed people who, while struggling to gain new skills, had real experiences and needs." Susan B., former coworker/lead teacher 6 mon-3 years old class
