A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Sage, and I’m a recent graduate of Emerson College, where I studied Journalism and Political Science. I’ve been working with children since I was 16, beginning as a full-time nanny and then worked for three summers at a day camp with children ages 4–12. I’ve also worked as a preschool teacher’s assistant during the school year, giving me experience caring for children across a wide range of ages and needs! Throughout my childcare experience, I’ve had the opportunity to work with many children with disabilities, including children with autism. I’ve learned that every child is different, and I prioritize getting to know each child as an individuals so I can create an environment where they feel safe, supported, and understood. I bring a patient, empathetic, and energetic approach to childcare and believe in using positive reinforcement, clear communication, and plenty of encouragement. I'm happy to provide several references!

More About Me

Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...

My relevant childcare experience includes working as a full-time nanny, a summer day-camp counselor, and a preschool teacher’s assistant. I’ve cared for children ranging from preschool age through 12 years old, both independently and as part of a larger team.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I love getting creative and finding activities that match each child’s interests! Some of my favorites include reading together, arts and crafts, baking, playing outside, going to parks and playgrounds, exploring museums and libraries, playing games, and coming up with imaginative activities. I also enjoy helping kids with homework and school projects and finding ways to make learning feel fun.

The most important part about being a nanny...

Making the kids feel like they matter! Being a nanny is not just looking after children, but connecting with them and making them feel safe, comfortable, and understood. At the same time, I know how important it is for parents to feel that their children are in good hands, so being dependable, communicative, and someone a family can truly trust is incredibly important to me.

My experience with special needs children...

I have experience working with children with a variety of disabilities, including autism, angelman syndrome, ADHD, disruptive behavior disorder through both my preschool and summer camp experience. I’ve worked one-on-one with children who have different communication styles, sensory needs, and comfort levels in social settings.

The most important part about being a nanny...

Me and my two nanny kids (7 & 9) had a Friday tradition where we'd bike to get ice cream, and go to the park down the street! They also taught me how to use a hoverboard! I would also do the girls hair before basketball practice, and we would try to learn a new hairstyle every week together!
