I am a graduate of Annandale High School and currently pursuing a bachelor's degree at George Mason University. Over the past four years, I have gained valuable experience babysitting through care.com, providing attentive and responsible care to children. Additionally, I have dedicated two years to tutoring through FCPS schools, assisting students in their academic growth and development.
Hi! My name is Sara, and I’m a responsible, caring, and dependable 17-year-old who genuinely enjoys working with children. As the oldest of four kids, I’ve grown up helping care for younger children and understand how important it is for kids to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for.
I also have experience working with children as a former Kumon tutor, where I helped students with their schoolwork and learned how to be patient and encouraging with different ages and learning styles. In addition, I worked as a Health and Assisted Living Server at a nursing home, which taught me responsibility, attentiveness, and how to care for people with different needs.
I’m happy to help with homework, playtime, meals, routines, and keeping kids engaged while making sure they’re safe and having a good time. I’d love the opportunity to get to know your family and become someone you can trust!

I am a responsible and caring 17-year-old high school student and the oldest of four children, so I have always had experience being around and caring for younger kids. I also have professional experience working as a Health and Assisted Living Server at a nursing home, where I learned to be patient, dependable, attentive, and respectful of people’s individual needs. In addition, I worked at Kumon, where I tutored and assisted children with their schoolwork. This experience helped me develop strong communication skills and taught me how to be patient and encouraging when working with kids of different ages and learning styles. Between caring for my younger siblings, tutoring children at Kumon, and working in a healthcare environment, I have developed strong skills in responsibility, communication, patience, and safety. I would love the opportunity to provide families with reliable, caring, and trustworthy childcare.

Not really a summary because i don’t vape, no i don’t own a car because legally im only 15, about to turn 16 in a couple of months so i can’t, im a highschool student and i have babysat for over 5 years, based on having siblings , i attend Paul Laurence Dunbar highschool in washington dc, i have a great gpa of 3.5, all grades and im very gentle with kids. As far as training im home trained based on having siblings and having to care for them as their 2nd mother and providing them with stuff as they grow, i’ve already had a experience with taking care of kids and it’s a piece of cake. I’m gentle and very understanding and calming. So i feel as though i can use this ability to contain a job of babysitting for money, because i put in good deeds and just like helping one another and kids.
