Hello there, my name is Sara! I have always had a great passion and love for kids of all ages, and from the time I was young they have always been drawn to me. It is very easy for me to connect with and have a soothing affect on them. A brief discription about me is that I am a patient, nurturing, and fun-loving caregiver. I have many years experience as both a babysitter, and a nanny. I was the first born in my household, and helped my mother raise and care for her 8 other children. In addition to this, I babysat and nannied over a period of eight years for several other families, for age ranges of infant to 14. I was responsible for all aspects of each child - social, developmental, educational, physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual. I believe in the importance of keeping children engaged in Read more a safe yet creative environment, and will do a variety of both indoor and outdoor activities! I am naturally active, and will be happy to play hide-n-seek and tag, or simply stay inside and color, tell stories, or play eye spy. I tailor all activites and approaches to the interest, age, developmental level, and personality of each child! I like to insert character development and education into whatever we are doing. I also have a way of making all things fun (i.e. eating veggies, brushing teeth, etc). However, I am a healthy balance of a fun, easy going attitude, and also being serious and assertive as needed. I will set firm, yet loving and gentle boundaries as needed. I believe that children are precious, their innocence priceless, and well-being a priority. They are an incredible gift, as well as crucial responsibility, and should be raised and protected with the utmost care, and love. From conception in the womb into childhood, these are the years where they are shaped, and what makes them the adults they become. I understand the importance of my role, and am willing to take on that responsibility. I will take your child(children) in, and care for and love them as my own. My main goal is to come alongside you and compliment every aspect of your parenting style, and also to be a caregiver that you feel entirely comfortable to leave your most precious assets with! I possess my own vehicle, and have clean federal, criminal, and driving records. I am not a substance user, nor am I a smoker. Thank you, and all the best to you in your search!
