Hi! Thank you for looking at my profile. My name is Sarah and I am currently looking for part-time babysitting job(s). I am a student studying psychology and I also have a minor in English studies. Currently I work as a registered behavior technician where I work one on one with children who have Autism. I implement programs with the children for skill acquisition and to reduce problem behaviors. I love my current position, but I'm hoping to find something closer to home with more "set" hours. I have an awesome daughter of my own who is almost 4 years old. I was a nanny part time in the past to two little girls. Over the past four years I have done occasional sitting for multiple families with children of all ages. I really enjoy the toddler stage because of how much the children learn in such a short period Read more of time. I enjoy hands on play - being outside, doing crafts, playing pretend, etc. I believe education is important at every stage of development. I am blessed to have had a wonderful education. When watching younger children, I enjoy helping them develop and learn new skills. For older children, I have no problem being a homework helper. I can help with studying techniques and organization skills. I have a passion for reading and writing. Essay proof reading and editing are things I enjoy doing. Whatever you are looking for, I am happy to talk with you and see if I would be a good fit for your family. *References are available upon request*
