Hello, I am an outdoors, arts and crafty, fun loving lady. I recently realized my best times are spent with children. I was a professional babysitter at 12 years old, I took a class with Johnson and Johnson to get certified. I never forgot what I learned. I babysat regularly as a preteen and through high school. Any family, mine or any other, events I have ever been to, I end up entertaining the kids. I have been a licensed optician for the last 25 years and kids have been my biggest followers. Helping a child feel good about the eyeglasses they need is a speciality and it has helped in offices with special needs kids, which attracted more kids who needed that special care. My favorite 5 kids are at my brother's house with ages currently from 5-17yrs. It has always been fun playing games getting the crew to Read more team up and clean up after dinner, and of course I help too! I have been asked a million times are you a school teacher? Then followed by I feel like you would be good at it. My abilities with children and people are tied to my childhood that created a person who never forgot what it feels like to be a kid. I have tutored in college at the local high school and can tutor any subject as long as I understand it. I feel providing an engaging environment with my "nanny bag" , which I learned in my class I took a lifetime ago, to have a sack of surprises to help break the ice and gain interest from the child, just in case. Age appropriate of course. I have previously been certified for both First Aid and CPR. I plan on renewing it soon. I would be honored to care for your child or children. I can cook, clean,meal prep, homework help, I love to play games all sorts.

Sarah is delightful. My children enjoyed her presence, professional and genuine care. She was always upbeat with them and anticipated their needs. While most babysitters now are doomscrolling on their phones, Sarah remained attentive and always had the kids’ best interest at the forefront.

She was so kind and very honest. I was clear about what I expected of her and expressed my anxieties to her as regards to finding a babysitter. She reassured me and everything went smoothly. My son had so much fun and was well taken care of. I would hire her again for sure?
