NOT ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS AT THIS TIME. Hi, I'm Sarah, and I am a Pediatric ICU Registered Nurse who is passionate about caring for children of all ages and abilities. I am new to this platform, but I began my childcare experience in middle school when I regularly cared for a family of three children, one of whom had significant developmental delays. As an adult, in addition to my nursing experience, I have mentored children through Big Brothers Big Sisters, taught Sunday school, and worked as a temporary emergency-need nanny. I love promoting healthy childhood development through play, especially outdoors if our WA weather permits. I would also be happy to help with light housework and meal preparation. Safety is always my top priority, and I am CPR trained with a Pediatric Advanced Life Support certification. I have a veteran ID so I am easily able to assist if you Read more live at JBLM. Thanks for your consideration, and I would love the opportunity to get to know your family! References available upon request.

Sarah was amazing! She arrived exactly on time, quickly figured out where everything was and our baby’s schedule, and was able to take care of our 10-month old with no additional direction or help. Our daughter can get difficult with new people but Sara was able to put her at ease and make her feel comfortable instantly. I would highly recommend Sarah.
