Hi! My name is Sarah Peterson. I recently graduated from the University of Edinburgh with a master's degree in food security. Right now I'm trying to do some part-time work and gigs while I search for a full-time job. I've been babysitting for over 12 years now. I love working with kids and I'm willing to help out as often as needed, whether it's just for a parents'-night-out or for several weeks at a time. Crafts and outdoor games are some of my favorite activities. I am OK with pets, and have experience with dogs, cats, and small animals. I also have a basic understanding of Spanish and Italian, although my speaking skills are a little rough around the edges. I'm certified in Adult and Pediatric First Aid and CPR.

Sarah was prompt for interview and two times she babysit so far. She came right in and sat down and started playing and reading to my 16 month old daughter, who took to her fairly quickly (which doesn't usually happen when she meets new people!). Sarah was available last minute and has always responded to messages/texts in a timely manner. Both times Sarah babysit, I came back to a clean home and sleeping baby. May seem like small things but to a single parent, coming home and not having a million things to do as well as take care of an energetic child is huge! Will definitely call on Sarah for care in the future!

Sarah was very timely for the interview and the two dates that she worked. The girls loved playing with her, and asked for her to come back sometime! Thank you to Sarah, for picking up a last-minute job for us, and doing a great job!
