Hi! I’m Sarah, a professional nanny with over 10 years of experience caring for children from infancy through early childhood. I specialize in infant and toddler care and am passionate about creating structured, nurturing environments where children feel safe, empowered, and truly loved. I’m Pediatric and Adult CPR/First Aid certified and have a background in Health Sciences, which I bring into every aspect of my care! In addition to working with private families, I’ve taught gymnastics to children ages 6 months to 12 years and volunteered at UVA Children’s Hospital in both the NICU and PICU. I also completed a pediatric physical therapy internship, where I worked directly with infants and young children to support developmentally appropriate care. I love planning creative, engaging activities that promote development: things like sensory play, baby sign language, outdoor adventures, storytime, obstacle courses, and crafts. I also enjoy making everyday routines feel fun and Read more meaningful through songs, imaginative play, and connection-based guidance!

Sarah has been nannying for our son for a year, from infant to now toddler, and she’s been wonderful! She cares for his daily needs, engages in playtime and regular outside time, prepares his meals, and also goes above and beyond to use her training and education to work with him on developmental skills. She has been communicative and also super flexible when we need to change the schedule or ask her to care for our older child as well. We will miss her greatly when our guy starts preschool!
