Whether your need is an evening out, some Mom time or part time regular care, a loving, respectful, supportive caregiver can be yours. You can relax knowing your child(ren) are in good hands with an intuitive, fun, active caregiver. I have been caring for children for over 30 years and have witnessed many of the children I've cared for grow up and now are parents themselves. I enjoy engaging children in their daily activities and teach organically with the world and our experiences as our classroom. I believe in following a routine and also allowing for flow as situations unfold. Staying calm, flexible and offering choices are a few ways I work cooperatively with children and families. I have a strong background in Early Child Education as well as years of experience in a variety of caregiving situations (full time nanny, preschool teacher, babysitter, tutor and aunt - to Read more 26 nieces and nephews).

We recently had Sara watch our 22 month old daughter for a nearly full day (7a-2p). She was professional and easy to coordinate with, and arrived on time. She was warm, friendly, and relaxed. Its obvious that she enjoys working with children, and my daughter felt very comfortable with her. I would definitely hire her again!

Fantastic. Sara has ample experience with young children after years of teaching at various quality preschools (as well as over two dozen nieces and nephews!) and it shows. She came to help me out twice while my husband was traveling on business for two weeks and my girls thoroughly enjoyed her. Sara genuinely loves and "gets" kids...and nothing seems to phase her. I feel very comfortable with her and know my girls are in good hands. Best of all, Sara is a "grown up" and very reliable...no last-minute flaking here! Contact her while she still has availability as I suspect it's going to go fast.
