Meet Sarah
- Speaks English and American Sign Language
- Comfortable with pets
I am a Chicagoan Mother of 2 responsible teenagers and I have my associates in Early Childhood Development. Babysitting started for me at an early age with being entrusted to watch up to 6 young children in a household. My most favorite thing to do during babysitting time is read books and do art time. Being a previous pet care professional with having been a dog walker in the city, I am completely comfortable working in a household with pets. My personal hobbies include going on Lakefront walks, doing 2000-5000 piece puzzles, cooking large meals and baking sweets, drawing &painting, reading novels, and playing board games or chess. I have experience working with children who have Disabilities or Special Health Needs, and I am First Aide/CPR certified and I have a Food Handlers certification as well.
