Greetings Families, My name is Sarah, I am a 43 years young, I am a married mother of two amazing girls ages 10 and 15. I also have 3 step-children ages 12, 15, and 17. I love children, having a blended family and helping children learn, grow, and play. I am originally from Brazil and my primary language is Portuguese and English is a second language. I would estimate my English level here is above intermediate. I attend ESL regularly and we are rated 1-7 in ESL and I am a 5. I have had my drivers license for 23 years and also have a current and valid WA DL here and I am fully insured for vehicle insurance. My work experience covers a broad range of areas over my entire life. I have done office work, financial assistant, tax assistant, nursing assistant at hospital, assistant teacher for computer introduction Read more at the local school for the ages of 1-11. I have an easy going personality and like to make children laugh and feel confident in their abilities. I love to cook and make new recipes. I have a passion for baking and use to do it as a second job. I love cooking cakes and other pastries and very much enjoy teaching children how to bake and decorate cakes. I care for children I watch as if they are my own and as a mother myself I understand the incredible responsibility a sitter must take on and the trust a parent is giving me. I am very detailed and like to ask a lot of questions and take notes so I make meet the expectations of the clients I work for. I am comfortable with caring for a wide range of ages of children, driving them to and from school or to activities. I currently have a 2015 Chevrolet Tahoe 4x4 as my primary vehicle. If you feel I would be a good fit for your family please reach out to me or feel free to ask any questions. I continue to work towards an advanced level of English and continue to study and practice daily in class. Sometimes I use a translator on my phone is there is a word or phrase I have not heard before and so I do not misunderstand what was said. Thank you for your time, Sarah
