A little bit about me

Hello!
My name is Sarah, I am 27 years old. I grew up in Vermont and moved to main a couple of years ago. I have worked with children in a variety of settings, including Directing a Preschool and Afterschool program, teaching at a primarily outdoor Preschool, and nannying for several families. I enjoy the outdoors and spend lots of time hiking/trail running/swimming. Ideally, the family that I work with/for has an appreciation for the outdoors also!
I have my associates degree in Early Childhood Education and am CPR and First Aid certified. I have a reliable car and am willing to drive children. I have many references I would be more than happy to share with you! I look forward to getting to know you!

The most important part about being a nanny...

There are so many important parts!
Here are some that are important to me: Having a great relationship with not only the child(ren), but also the parents!
Being able to explore and adventure with children, allowing them to take the lead and learn about what they are interested in.
Knowing that the family feels supported by me and that I will love their kid(s).
Learning how different families and children operate and work together is exciting to me.
Taking time to get to know and understand each child’s individual personality, strengths, and areas of work.
Working collaboratively with parents on what is expected of me/their children/the job.
Making sure that their is a healthy balance of active play and “down time” with children.
Teaching children how to be kind, think for themselves, speak their mind in a respectful way, etc.

Much more that I look forward to talking about!
