A little bit about me
Hi! I’m Sarah!
I’ve spent the past 14+ years working with children of all ages from newborns to middle schoolers teaching, caring, and supporting their growth every step of the way. I have experience overseeing daycares, providing infant and toddler care, and applying child development principles to create safe, nurturing, and fun environments where kids can thrive.
I’m a Catholic grade school teacher and currently working toward my Master’s in Education. I’m available for babysitting now and would love to find a caring, fun family to nanny for in Summer 2026!
I also offer tutoring for PreK–8th grade in all subjects, tailoring lessons to each child’s learning style and helping kids build confidence and curiosity
