Hi there! My name is Sarah, I'm a young professional in the Portland area, and just as a heads up, I already have a regular 8-5 job. However, I am a huge fan of kiddos and fur babies alike, and I'd love to help you and your family in the evenings or on weekends. I'm energetic, responsible, and can entertain almost anyone easily (including myself if the kids are asleep!) I love reading out loud, playing board games, or running around in the back yard. If your kiddos require a set schedule, or dietary restrictions, please let me know before I come to your house. I am happy to take your kids anywhere (band practice, friends houses) but I do require them to be old enough to ride without a carseat, unless provided and installed in my car. Although I am not certified in Autistic child development, I have volunteered Read more with autism centers and have experience working with non-verbal children. If you have any questions, or would like to meet up for coffee to discuss your children or pets, or require a more comprehensive vetting process for your sitters, feel free to let me know! As I said before, I do have a regular day job, so I would appreciate a week in advance notice for booking so I can anticipate it in my calendar for any schedule changes. Let me know if youd like to chat further! All the best, Sarah
