Hello! My name is Sarah, I am a 1st grade teacher during the school year and an adventurer in the summer! When I’m not at school I love to be outdoors, go to concerts and spend time with my family! I do not have my own children, but I do have a bonus daughter that I adore! I have had experience babysitting, nannying, and teaching children ages 0-14. My favorite age group to be with are infants, toddlers and 5-7 year olds, but I enjoy hanging out with big siblings too! I also love animals! On a typical baby-sitting gig I enjoy playing imaginative games, drawing/doing crafts, going on walks, singing, and reading with kids. I am happy to run errands, take kids to activities, prepare meals, clean, do bedtime routines, and even tutor in early literacy and primary math. In terms of discipline, I do not typically believe in Read more time-outs and taking away toys, rather, I believe in restorative justice, using social emotional skills to calm big emotions, share feelings, and navigate conflicts and other situations. However, I am willing to use any discipline strategies that parents use on the normal day to day, if it helps with consistency. For infants, I am well versed in feeding and sleeping routines, warming bottles, burping, diapers changing, swaddling, comforting an upset baby, helping soothe teething babies, creating stimulating activities for babies of all ages. I love watching infants the best because it takes different skills that I don’t get to use in the classroom, I can sing all day and night if I want to, and I love watching little ones explore this brand new world! I was once CPR certified for children and infants however, my certification has expired. I am willing to go through training again, but would appreciate a sponsor to do so. I am available for mostly day jobs and some evenings, depending on the date. I am happy to dedicate my time to one family exclusively or multiple families at once, but I do have a $ goal and I will need to work consistently in order to meet. I have a big trip I am going on starting in mid-July and then I will be going back to school immediately after that trip so unfortunately I am only available until my trip. I am happy to babysit occasionally during the school year and of course will have more flexibility when I am on breaks. Feel free to reach out for references, or interviews. I look forward to speaking to you and meeting your little ones soon!!!
