Bio

***Due to the fact that I am currently finishing my education degree and have several families that I already work for on a regular and sporadic basis, I am not looking for any new families to work for right now. I will be graduating in the spring and looking for a full time position at that time, if you are looking for a future summer or long term nanny!***

Please feel free to check out my new website for some more details and information about me, my experience, and services available I will be updating here as I become available once again.: <WEBSITE>

CPR/AED/First Aid Training/Recertification for Infants, Children and Adults completed February 28th.

I am an Early Childhood Education Major at Kennesaw State University. I have two semesters left, starting Fall 2009, including just my TOSS and Student teaching, and will graduate in Spring 2010.

I do have experience driving children, mostly bringing my current family's child to and from storytime at the local library, and the park. I have experience with dealing with a lactose-free diet, and organic. I also try to be as eco/energy-concious at home and at work as I can be.

I have been caring for children for practically my entire life as I am the oldest of 4 children. I have also provided babysitting to other families, with various amounts of responsibility, since I was ~12 years old.

I was employed as a nanny for a wonderful family in Smyrna, where I worked caring for their son, who was 2 1/2 years old son when I left, for over a year. I also worked in a nannying position locally caring for an infant (6-7 months old). During high school I worked with 2 sweet twin boys with autism (from 8-10 years of age) as a therapy assistant, and thoroughly enjoyed it, so I am open to working with other children who may have special needs as well. I was working two regular Monday/Wedneday jobs caring for a 6-month-old on Wednesdays and a 15-month-old on Mondays. I am still also with my main family, with a sweet 3-year-old in a nannying position three days a week (Tuesday/Thursday/Friday), and also caring for a 15-month-old alternating Mondays and Wednesdays. I love my job(s)!!!

My resume and more references are available upon request, but right now I have two recent previous nannying employers listed. My current employer and employers of my babysitting services available by request.

My usual rate for 1 child is $13 an hour, with the price for multiple children variable. Please contact me for an exact rate including number and ages of children. 4 hour minimum care period/pay.The number of children that I am comfortable with superivising depends on the ages and age gaps of the children, as well as the location in which the care will take place, and will need to be discussed and planned for before the job. I would love to help out at your next party/large group gathering to provide childcare.

Rate for families: $13-17/hour

Rate for multi-family group/party: $16-25/hr (means great discounted per child rates!!!)

Thank you for taking the time to look at my profile. I look forward to hearing from you and seeing if I may be a good fit for your family and need!

I'm a non-smoker.

Reviews:

We are really disappointed with Sarah, for a few reasons, but mainly because she physically hurt our child. When we first interviewed Sarah, she seemed like an honest, reliable, serious babysitter. We were very selective and nervous because it was our first time hiring a babysitter, and because we needed someone reliable that we could count on to cover while we were at work (very time critical because we work with weddings). We decided to give her a shot and asked her to babysit for us to go to the movies, since we wanted to try her out before our next wedding. Sarah no showed and after 10 minutes of no call, we decided to call her to see what was her excuse. She said she was on her way and said she made a mistake because she thought she was supposed to show at a later time. Although that could prove catastrophic for my business, if it happened when we have a wedding, we decided to give her the benefit of the doubt and give her another chance. She wasn't late again, and our daughter liked her, but unfortunately the last time we hired her she physically hurt our daughter and that is something we will not tolerate. It was about the 5th time we hired her, and when we returned home from work she told us that she had an incident with our daughter where she didn't want to use her pajamas or go to sleep after using the potty. She told us that after a little while of asking and changing her pajama our daughter went to bed. The next day we found a few scratches on our daughters wrist and a couple faint lines on her palm, consistent with someone gripping her hang and wrist very strongly and yanking to the point of causing scratches on the skin. We asked out daughter what happened and she told us that because she didn't listen she put her in the dark (closed the door to her room in the dark) and said that Sarah had done the scratch. When we confronted Sarah, she confirmed everything but instead of being apologetic, she defended her actions by saying that it was an extreme tantrum and that she wasn't thinking straight when she put her in the room. She said that she grabbed our daughter firmly, and that since her nails are long, that maybe she scratched her when she put her in her room. There are 3 things that really bothered us about this that compelled us to post this review: -She omitted the fact that she locked our daughter in the dark (and we have reason to believe she did it before because our daughter's sudden fear for the dark coincides with when Sarah started babysitting her). I had even left on a note to Sarah to not put Laurie in the room with the door closed because she had started being afraid of the dark. -The fact that she physically hurt our daughter We hope that you find this review helpful in your decision to hire Sarah. -- Danielle M.

Sarah was on time and great with my son and nephew. She engaged them with activities and came prepared with music and books. Both kids warmed to her quickly and the three year old was still talking about how great she was the next day. -- Jaclyn G.

Sarah was a no show on October 24th. -- Mary B.

• User Response: I was unfortunately going through a very hectic period last fall, in the midst of transition from one family to another and I got some schedules messed up in the midst of that. I am now much more structured and careful about my schedule. I strongly believe that if you speak to any of the families that I work with on a regular basis they will back up that I am very dependable, prompt, and responsible. I would be more than happy to provide you with many references to check out.

Sarah was wonderful! She was prompt, very sweet and very professional. My daughter was very comfortable with her as soon as she walked in the house and asked if she was coming back when she woke up the next morning! Will definitely use her again! -- Patricia P.
