My Summary
Loving, Attentive Nanny Looking To Give Care To Your Little Ones!
About Me
Hi there! My name is Sara, I am a 26 year old American living in Peckham with my partner. In 2021 I received my bachelors degree from Kent State University. Since graduating, I have been residing in California, working as a full time nanny to two families. During this time I was able to create close, respectful bonds with both families I worked with and provide them with the assistance they needed. In addition to working in childcare, I also have an independent visual arts practice which includes ceramics, painting, and photography. I've spent several years working as a ceramic’s teacher for children, teaching hand building workshops and facilitating summer camps. I hope to eventually incorporate my love for the arts with my experience and passion for childcare to create and art therapy practice for children. I have found that creating a nurturing atmosphere for children to explore their imagination and express their creativity is an essential part of the early childhood development process.
My other interests include travel, yoga, and spending time with my loved ones. I also Iove the outdoors, and often encourage outdoor play and walks with the children I care for.
I am a very empathic and patient person and I pride myself on my ability to connect with neuro-divergent children (ADHD, Autism). When it comes to caregiving, I believe in an individualistic approach, tuning into each child's needs so I can provide the best guidance and growth for them.
My Experience
With over ten years of experience as a child caregiver, I have provided care for many families, building a foundation of trust and reliability with each. My most recent position, from May 2022 to July 2024, involved caring for two young girls, aged 6 months and 3 years at the start date, for 30-40 hours a week. Through this role, I developed a close bond with the children and honed my skills in managing routines for both infants and toddlers, from feeding schedules to engaging in age-appropriate developmental activities.
I am CPR certified and fully vaccinated, ensuring I am prepared for any emergencies and committed to a safe and healthy environment. Parents have described me as dependable, communicative, and adaptable, and I prioritize being punctual and flexible to fit each family’s unique needs. My approach to childcare focuses on creating a nurturing, fun, and stimulating environment, whether that’s through creative play, outdoor activities, or structured routines.
Additionally, I am comfortable with light housekeeping, meal preparation, and caring for pets if needed. I would be happy to provide my resume and references upon request to give you a fuller picture of my experience. My goal is to make both children and parents feel supported, safe, and at ease while I’m on duty.
