Hi, I’m Sarina. I’m a Marine Corps veteran and Psychology student with several years of hands-on experience caring for infants and toddlers. Over the past two years, I’ve worked long-term with two families, primarily caring for children between 6 months and 3 years old. My current position is ending due to the family relocating, and I will be available beginning March 2. I’m confident with infant and toddler routines, including sleep schedules, meal prep, developmental play, outdoor time, and maintaining calm, structured days that help little ones thrive. I’m patient, attentive, and committed to creating a safe and nurturing environment. Families describe me as reliable, communicative, and proactive. I take pride in supporting not only the children, but the overall flow of the household when needed. I’m seeking a position starting in early March and would love to connect to see if we’re a good fit.

I’m a dedicated and nurturing caregiver with a strong passion for working with infants. I focus on creating a safe, comforting environment where babies can grow, develop, and feel secure. Certified in First Aid and CPR, I prioritize their safety at all times. I also build strong relationships with both the infants and their families, offering individualized care that meets each child’s needs. My goal is to provide a calm and loving atmosphere where they feel supported and cherished. As my native language is Spanish, I can introduce babies to the language early on, which is a wonderful added benefit for families interested in bilingual exposure.

Good morning! I do respite care for several families with children on the spectrum and have been part of their families for several years. I’ve earned an M.Ed. in Educational Psychology (school counsellor) and an ABA (RBT) certificate, and I'm currently pursuing a second degree in Special Education at UVA. I have cared for a 6-year-old for the past 3 years and am a good fit for a family seeking occasional care or a weekend break. I also provide weekend respite care for a 10-year-old and occasionally take him to the playground, the pool, Urban Air, horseback riding, or over weekends to give the family a break and de-escalate the tense home environment. I recently completed a practicum with students with special needs in third and fourth grades at Stafford Elementary School. I have a Commercial Driver’s License with a school bus endorsement (special needs) and am certified in First Aid, Trauma, CPR, and AED for infants and children. I am the father of a special needs child who is now a successful adult, and I've had two careers: one at NBC Television, where you might know the name Bob Wright, a past CEO and founder of Autism International (he has a grandchild on the spectrum), and the other as a Microsoft consultant. My ‘gift’ is that I am an active senior who wholeheartedly accepts these children for who they are, not where some think they should be. Outside activities with an experienced care provider, rather than a parent, are excellent environments for learning, for developing independence, and practicing acceptable social behaviors. I am a retired Microsoft tech guy who got involved in the Autistic community by volunteering with Big Brothers/Big Sisters. I can schedule a video Zoom introduction, prior to meeting in person.

I am ambitious and creative but disciplined and hardworking. I absolutely love working with children and planning such fun activities while we wait for you to come home!
