My name is Sarah, and I go by the nickname Ivy. I have been babysitting for 18 years and nannying for 11 years. I love working with children and I enjoy a good challenge! I love being active and running around with children, even the high-energy kids! I love to read, sing, play, and make art with children. I have my bachelor's degree in Education, K-8, so I am great at helping children learn. I have experience babysitting for kids aged 2mo to 15yo, and my specialty is working with children ages 3 months to 6 years old. I am very patient. I am quite energetic and outgoing. I love to be outside in nature, and I enjoy reading. When I read to kids, I try to give each character a different voice and ask the children questions as I read, so reading can be a fun and engaging activity Read more for them. My goal is to help your children enjoy reading as much as I do! Safety and kindness are two of the most important things to me. I can swim well, I am CPR certified, and I am first aid certified. Also, I have worked with many children with ADHD, learning disabilities, and autism, and I am great at keeping children's attention. I have been tutoring students for 14 years, so I am great with homework help and homeschooling. I have tutored at both Kumon Learn Center and Mathnasium, and I have also done private tutoring for many families. I've done 2 years of student teaching in public school classrooms while working on my Education degree. I speak English and some Spanish, and I'm learning Portuguese.
