A little bit about me

Hi my name is Sahara! I am 20 and very passionate about children and have loved them since I was little! I have been watching kids since I was 11 starting with my nieces.I now am married and a mom to a 5 month old and have sat for over 15 families! I was CPR and FirstAid certified but it has expired willing to redo it for a family that requires it. Seeking a family who is comfortable with my son tagging along. While it’s not required, I would love to find a family that aligns with Christian values. I am a Christian and I love to be able to incorporate that into my nannying day to day.

More About Me

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

I serve in children’s ministry at my church! I also have school related experience with children. We had a program my senior year where we got to go to the elementary and help teachers with their classes. I got the opportunity to help in a kindergarten class and help them with their day to day activities. Now I have my own son to care for day to day :)

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I try to limit screen time as much as possible! I am an avid encourager of creativity and activities outside of tablet time! I always enjoy playing dress up, crafts, playing outside, going to the park, and other fun activities. Really anything that’s away from the screen is up my alley.

The most important part about being a nanny...

I want to make the most impact on their little lives in the time that I have with them! I want to make sure I’m there to encourage and support them! I want to make sure that I am someone they can rely on and trust. I want to be someone who they look up to and remember. I want to be able to offer words of wisdom and knowledge! Ultimately, I want them to have the best time with me and keep them safe doing it! It means the world to me when the kids I watch tell me how much they love me and how I’m the best babysitter. One little girl I watched wrote me a note that said, “I love you you are just like mommy.” Just my absolute favorite thing ever to know I’m making a positive impact on these kids lives! I hope to be the nanny they remember 10 years down the road. That still has a bond with them after I am done nannying! It’s more than just a job to me it’s my passion!

My experience with special needs children...

My cousin Katie has Down syndrome! I got the opportunity a couple years ago to watch her a couple days a week for about 8 hours a day! I don’t have a ton of in depth special needs care experience. But, I do have some and I have plenty of patience, care, compassion, and love to tend to every need!

The most important part about being a nanny...

My favorite moment(s) would be the times these two little boys I watch would take my phone and record videos for me. They would tell me how much they loved me and thought I was the best babysitter! Just anytime kids have written me sweet notes or expressed their appreciation for me is my absolute favorite! I’d also say when the little kids I watch want me to pray for them and or pray out loud. Watching a 3 year old pray is the sweetest thing ever and makes my heart so full! These moments definitely make nannying less of a job and more of a lifestyle! Kids are my passion and I’m so grateful for the opportunities I get to be with them and care for them!
