Hello, my name is Sally! I am an artist, musician and childcare provider with 15 years of experience. I am looking for a queer friendly family who values a creative childcare provider that encourages explorarion and play. I have worked with youth of all ages (infants to teenagers, including disabled children and children who are neurodivergent) in a wide variety of settings: art teacher, music teacher, daycare employee, babysitter and nanny. I am happy to do some light house work and cooking. I have a drivers license, clean driving record and a minivan that is safe and cozy, seating up to five. I have experience working with small groups of kids and am open to nanny shares. I strive to be a family support as much as I am a loving and attentive provider to the kids. If you think we would be a match and you are interested in meeting or chatting on the phone, please do not hesitate to contact me for references and my resume! :)

Sally Louise is a rare kind of caregiver who checks all the boxes and still surpasses expectations. She's reliable, responsible and extremely thoughtful--it has never been hard to trust her with my two small children, whether she's caring for them at my home or carting them around to fun adventures in her minivan. She's also highly creative when it comes to childcare, finding fun and outside-of-the-box ways to keep kids entertained and stimulated. (My favorite recent activity is how she's gotten the kids to create their own little "band" and put on performances in the living room.) Perhaps most remarkable, however, is Sally Louise's ability and drive to meet a child where they are. She works to deeply understand the kids in her care, and she celebrates who they are by being supportive, accommodating and highly loving. One of my children is neurodivergent. It has been hard to find a caregiver with the energy and patience to build a happy, safe and productive relationship with him. But Sally Louise has it all. Her experience working with all kinds of children means that she was able to dive right in with my family, adapting to our rules and norms and introducing her own, loving spin. I've learned a lot from her during our time together! My kids love her and my neurodivergent child, in particular, loves himself even more thanks to the way she accepts, supports and encourages him. I often notice how much more laughter there is in my house when Sally Louise is here. She's been a gift to our family and I highly recommend her.
