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.

I’ve been caring for kids for over 9 years through babysitting, full-time nannying, and volunteer work. I started out babysitting and went on to be a summer camp counselor, which gave me great experience planning activities, keeping kids engaged, and balancing fun with structure. During college, I completed my undergrad internship at Project Horizon, where I worked directly with children in the shelter setting, supporting them through play and activities in a safe, caring environment. I also have experience working with children with special needs, including a young boy with level 3 autism. My responsibilities included taking him to OT, speech, and ABA sessions and applying ABA strategies at home to support consistency and progress. That role really taught me patience, creativity, and how to adapt routines to fit each child’s unique needs. Along with special needs care, I’ve handled homework help, school pick-ups, meal prep, and daily routines for families I’ve worked with. I love creating a warm, supportive space where children feel safe, happy, and encouraged to grow. I’m currently located in Charlottesville, VA, but I love Northern Virginia and DC and am looking for a full-time position. I’m happy to relocate for the right family!
