I began caring for kids of families in my neighborhood when I was in 8th grade. Since then, I have worked as an occasional sitter for many families and as a full-time summer sitter/nanny for two different families. I am currently a graduate student in the Master of Occupational Therapy program at the University of Pittsburgh. I have worked as a youth lacrosse coach and volunteered at a variety of children's camps. Most recently, I worked as a Group Leader for an after school group therapy session for kids with ADHD, conduct disorder, and other behavioral disorders. I have references that I am willing to give upon request, so please ask! I would love to meet your family and discuss opportunities for employment. Let me know how I can help nurture, educate, and have fun with your children!

Sara is WONDERFUL. She shows up on time, quick to respond to my texts or calls, and always willing to help pick up the kitchen. My boys are active and sometimes a handfull, but she handles each situtation like a pro. She plays with them and also able to give them time to be alone to do their "own thing." Sara is perfect for our family.
