About Sandrah

Experience: 8 yrs

COVID-19 vaccinated

I have 8 years of experience supervising and teaching children. I have a classical dance education and have been a dancer for 18 years. In my education, I learned skills in positive reinforcement and gentle discipline. My experience in the performing arts has shaped my childcare approach. Using a holistic technique, I apply evidence-based research and mindfulness practices to ensure all the child's needs are met. My teaching experience in school settings has given me the skills to effectively educate children on how to make positive decisions, socialize with their peers, and gain self-confidence. I offer a daycare-like service during the week for infants and toddlers. This includes enrichment for brain development, meals, and plenty of activities. I also provide after-school care and transportation to extracurricular activities. Additionally, I teach private dance lessons in ballet, jazz, and contemporary. On the weekend, I provide date night care as well.

We hired Sandra to watch our energetic 1 1/2 year old boy for regular afternoon shifts after our daycare closed unexpectedly. We couldn’t be happier with her — she was very attentive and is a natural with kids. Our son loved spending time with her, dancing and playing with her and reading stories. She is kind and reliable and we enjoyed her company too! We continued to use Sandra as a babysitter after our son was accepted to another daycare until he was about 2 1/2. We would be using her for help now, except she’s moved away!
