Hello parents! I have worked many jobs with children including vacation bible school, special Olympics, swimming lessons, and babysitting for foster care children. I have many hobbies such as music, art, science, and sports. I would love to be able to share some of these interests with kids to encourage learning and equip them with positive outlets. Currently I work as a lifeguard but I have also worked in assisted living with adults with disabilities. I am very patient and understanding.

A little bit about me
With over 25 years of experience caring for children and managing busy households, I bring a calm, capable, and nurturing presence to every family I serve. My background as a full-spectrum doula, educator, and childcare specialist has given me a deep understanding of family dynamics and child development. I’ve cared for infants through teens, including children with special needs, and I approach every stage with patience, creativity, and empathy.
Beyond childcare, I’m skilled in household organization, scheduling, meal preparation, errands, light housekeeping, and coordinating family routines. I’m known for my strong communication, problem-solving, and time management skills, as well as my ability to stay calm and attentive in high-pressure situations. Families describe me as dependable, compassionate, and deeply dedicated to helping both children and parents feel supported and at ease in their daily lives.

"We can’t say enough wonderful things about Sarah. From the very first day, she brought calm, confidence, and genuine love into our home. She is so much more than a nanny; she is a natural caregiver who truly understands children and meets them where they are. Sarah is patient, creative, and deeply attuned to each child’s emotional and developmental needs. Our kids absolutely adore her. Whether she is engaging them in imaginative play, helping with schoolwork, or guiding daily routines, she does everything with warmth and structure. She turns everyday moments into meaningful opportunities for learning and connection. Sarah is also incredibly reliable, organized, and proactive, keeping our home running smoothly with kindness and grace. She quickly became part of our family, and we trust her completely. Any family fortunate enough to have Sarah will see how exceptional she is: steady, nurturing, and wholeheartedly devoted."

Hello, my name is Mikayla! I have over five years of experience working with children of all ages. I babysat throughout majority of my high school career and nannied for wonderful families afterwards. I decided to take a break from nannying and focus on my studies and found myself continuing my studies in Montessori education as well. Having first-hand experience in the infant and toddler rooms for the past year and a half, I’m confident in my approach. When I’m not in school or working, I create and design sustainable clothing, paint, and garden. I look forward to hearing from you!
