Hello, my name is Sara, though I go by Sarz (pronounced S•air•z). I bring over three years of experience as a Registered Behavioral Therapist, specializing in supporting children on the Autism Spectrum. Following that, I spent a year as a dedicated nanny for a family with a child on the spectrum, where I created engaging activities while prioritizing safety and developmental growth. After my time as a nanny, I worked as a Grocery Manager, where I further developed skills that are highly valuable in childcare, including multitasking, time management, organization, and clear communication. Leading a team also strengthened my ability to stay calm under pressure, resolve conflicts, and maintain a structured yet positive environment—qualities I carry into my work with children and families. I pride myself on blending patience, empathy, and creativity to create safe, nurturing, and engaging environments. My upbeat personality and hobbies, like yoga and painting, often inspire Read more the fun, educational, and enriching activities I design for kids. Thank you for considering me to support your family and your child’s growth.
