My name is Sarah Rose and I am an admitted UVA student on a gap year. I was homeschooled throughout my entire K-12 education and I am one of seven siblings (two little brothers.) As an older sister in a homeschooled family, I spent hundreds of hours babysitting my little brothers, tutoring them on their schoolwork, keeping them safe, entertained, clean, fed, etc. This has been a constant job of mine for almost 10 years. Additionally, I spent 10 weeks, five days a week, working as an educational leader to five children grades 1 and 3, facilitating online learning, watching them, communicating with them about their responsibilities, and keeping them focused. I have worked with numerous other families as a babysitter, but these two are the most notable and long term positions. I am a fun and responsible sitter, I love music, reading, yoga, and I love kids! I am comfortable with friendly pets and available to drive. I am happy to provide references and a resume.
