I have a lot of varying experience with people of all ages and all walks of life. I use to watch two kids three days a week with special needs. Kids touch my heart and they are smart and funny and I can understand them on a good level and that's what makes me a fantastic babysitter, I don't plop them in front of the television. I play games with them an do arts and crafts and strengthen their imagination and artistic skills. I've always had an effortless connection with children and animals. I am currently looking for more work and getting back into the fulfilling work I use to be a part of is where I am starting.

    We hired Sarah to be our after school nanny for our two boys ages 9 and 12. Our 9 year old is visually impaired and autistic and Sarah has been wonderful with him. She helps him with homework, reads to him, plays games, does crafts, is helping him learn guitar, takes him to parks and other adventures. Our 12 year old is independent and doesn't need a lot of help, but Sarah finds fun ways to engage with him as well! She communicates well and is dependable.
