Hi, my name is Sara Cantu. To tell you a little about myself I am a mother of three, looking to be a date night/occasional sitter. As a mother I know the challenges of finding someone trust worth and reliable so I am looking to be that person for someone else. To tell you a little of my history, I got started when I helped take care of children for a church group in my area. From there my name became very well known in the community. I have babysat kids of all ages and are open to all life styles and rules set by parents. After enjoying a few years of babysitting I decided that I wanted to become a nanny. I worked as a full time nanny in Seattle for years. I loved seeing kids develop and grow and being a part of another childs life is one Read more of the greatest gifts I am lucky enough to receive. I am so lucky to now have three children of my own. I currently work full time as an office manager at a wellness center but wanting to open up my availability again for the weekends. I hope to hear from you soon!

We've had Sara watch our two girls ages 5 and 2, three times since we found her on this website back in December. Both girls love her and get very excited when they find out that Sara's coming over to watch them.

Sara saved us at the last second and babysat for our infant on short notice. She was professional and very attentive to our requests. We will definitely use her again.

We had Sara sit for us a couple of times and my kids loved her! She was really fun and sweet and played with our 1 year old diva daughter but didn't ignore our 4 year old son. We moved but would definitely recommend her for your family!

Just got home from a wonderful date night without the kids. My husband and I are so impressed with Sara. She arrived a few minutes early, was friendly to the boys and immediately clicked with them. She was open to using my cloth. Diapers for my baby with no problem and put our food away neatly in tupperwares. She also met me for coffee before today and was there early as well. My boys said they had a lot of fun and that they would love to see her again. She is someone that I, a children's social worker, would highly recommend.
