Sara’s Bio I love spending time caring for kids of all ages! As the daughter of a psychotherapist, I've learned much about children's developmental and emotional needs. It's important to me to be kind, respectful, supportive and sensitive, in all my interactions. I am responsible, conscientious, safety conscious, very reliable, and trustworthy. I have many years of babysitting and nannying experience, multiple certifications, and wonderful references. I have nannied for a number of families, including the children of college professors and very successful entrepreneurs. I also worked with many toddlers and infants as a childcare provider in a daycare setting. I am certified in Infant, Child and Adult CPR; Defensive Van Driving; Small Craft Safety; Lifeguarding; Disease Prevention; and Wilderness First Aid. I attended Berklee College of Music in Boston, where I majored in Vocal Performance. I try to incorporate music, art, reading and creative play into my work with Read more children. I also love all kinds of outdoor activities. Every child has different needs and interests; I have always been able to find wonderful, productive outlets, encourage the acquisition of new skills, and offer opportunities for feelings of mastery! As a Survival Skills and Multi-Sport Camp Instructor, I worked with groups of 13 kids, teaching kayaking, rock climbing, canoeing, mountain biking, and hiking. My responsibilities included driving my campers and trailers filled with all their equipment to various outdoor locations. It was a wonderful job! I loved teaching the children new skills, promoting experiences of mastery, and creating fun activities. I find it very rewarding to be a part of fostering the growth and development of the kids I care for; I can't think of a more fulfilling job!
