Meet Sarah

Hi! I’m a 22-year-old caregiver with over four years of experience as a private nanny & sitter and three years working in a school setting. I’ve cared for children of all ages, with the most experience around 5–6 years old. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, and safety is always my top priority. I also have experience supporting a child on the autism spectrum, which has strengthened my patience, flexibility, and understanding of different developmental needs. I love building meaningful connections with the children I care for—through creative play, early learning, outdoor time, and being a steady, positive presence in their day. My goal is to create a safe, structured, and nurturing environment while being a dependable support to families. I look forward to connecting with you!

She is responsible, patient, and great with kids of all ages. She’s dependable, always on time, and takes her role seriously. She knows how to keep kids engaged with fun activities while also making sure they’re safe and following any rules set by parents. She’s calm under pressure and communicates well, so you’ll always know your child is in good hands. I highly recommend her to any family looking for a trustworthy babysitter.

As a parent of two kids, ages 3 and 7, I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better sitter than Sarah. From the start, she’s been amazing with them, and I’ve always felt comfortable knowing my kids were safe and well cared for when they were with her. Sarah handled so much for us on a daily basis. She prepared their meals and snacks, helped with bath time, got them dressed, and kept their play areas clean and organized. She followed our routines closely and made sure everything ran smoothly while I was away. What really stands out is how present she is with them. She doesn’t just supervise them — she spends real quality time with them, playing games, doing activities, and making sure they feel happy and secure. That kind of care means everything to a parent. She also helped them academically by tutoring them in subjects she was knowledgeable in and helping with homework and early learning activities. She made learning fun and easy for them, and I saw improvement in both of my kids because of her support. I truly trust Sarah with my children and am so grateful for everything she’s done for our family. I would recommend her to any parent looking for someone dependable, caring, and genuinely invested in their children.

As a parent of a 5-year-old who’s on the spectrum (though not formally diagnosed), I’ve often felt nervous leaving him with sitters. She was available for us last minute, and from the start, her attention and communication were next level. She was respectful of our requests and mindful of our concerns. She connected with my son right away, and he had so much fun with her. It gave me real peace of mind knowing he was not only safe, but genuinely happy and understood.

Sarah has been a wonderful babysitter for our two boys, ages 5 and 7. She is dependable and always communicates clearly, keeping us updated and giving us complete peace of mind. Most importantly, our children absolutely loved her. She was warm, engaging, and patient, and they were always excited when she came over. We highly recommend Sarah to any family looking for a trustworthy and caring babysitter.
