Ever since I was about two years old myself, I have loved babies and young children. As a toddler, I brought a collection of baby dolls everywhere I went. In kindergarten, I always chose to play with the dolls when we got the chance to have free play. It has always been my dream to have many children of my own and I can't picture myself doing anything else for my career besides working with kids. I have been babysitting children in my neighborhood as well as my younger cousins since I was in middle school. I also worked at a daycare center in my town for almost a year before leaving for college and I loved every minute of it. I am currently studying human development&Family studies with a concentration in early childhood education at Uconn. I want to be a caregiver because being around children is what makes Read more me happy, I am a patient and kind person, and I want to make a difference in children's lives. Taking care of children is what I am truly passionate about. I feel that early childhood is such a critical point in a child's development and I would love to help them build a strong foundation and teach them at an early age important lessons such as being nice to everyone, manners, and to use their words to express their feelings. I would love to find a family to babysit or nanny for and would truly love every moment I get to spend with them.

Sarah babysat our 2and 1/2 year old little guy from March- August, 2016. I am so sad to lose her as she returns to college. Sarah is the sweetest, most trustworthy person I have ever met. She showed up 10 minutes early every time we asked her to babysit and never once cancelled after committing to a date, thus proving to be super reliable. She was very capable and attentive to our little one- continuously playing games, reading stories, taking him to the park, to the pool and out on walks. Sarah has such a nice way with little children and our Mason got so happy and excited whenever she walked through the door. He would actually scream and run to her and jump up into her arms! Her attentiveness to him was extraordinary and as a bonus- we always came home to a tidy place and a happy, well nurtured child!
