Hello! My name is Sarah and I am a 34 year-old former elementary school teacher living in South Orange, NJ. I work full time (9am-5pm, often from home but sometimes from the office in NYC), and am looking for opportunities to babysit or provide child care on weeknights and weekends. I love working with children and I have over 20 years of experience in child care. I have worked as a nanny, babysitter, teacher, after-school and summer program director, tutor, art instructor, and more. I also have a Bachelors degree in Child Development and a Masters degree in Social Work. I have cared for children of all ages (from infants to teenagers) and different needs. I've also worked with many different types of families and I'm comfortable taking on all kinds of care-taking tasks - from changing diapers, to helping with homework, to feeding and bathing, to playing dress-up and Read more more. I'm reliable, fun, flexible, and caring and I am looking forward to getting to know a new family. I have references available upon request. I hope you will consider me for your family!

Sarah handled a complicated situation (school pick up, commute home on a bus and a subway to an apartment where we weren't able to show her around) with aplomb. She was a pleasure to deal with, and my son had a great time with her!
