About Sara

Experience: 4 yrs

Hi! My name is Sara, and I have a strong passion for working with children. I previously worked at a daycare for 2 years and currently work as a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT), supporting children with autism in developing communication, play, and daily living skills. I'm patient, energetic, and love helping kids grow and feel confident in themselves. I enjoy engaging children in fun, structured, and creative activities while also ensuring a safe and caring environment. I'm reliable, attentive, and happy to help with routines, playtime, and light household tasks. I would love the opportunity to support your family in anyway you need!

I highly recommend Sara as a caregiver. She is a trained behavioral therapist (Registered Behavior Technician) currently working under my supervision, supporting children ages 3–12, including those with autism, developmental disabilities, and medical needs. Sara has a remarkable ability to connect with children of all abilities. She is especially attentive to each child’s basic needs—even when they are unable to communicate them clearly—and consistently ensures they feel safe, understood, and supported. She thoughtfully adapts her approach to match each child’s unique communication style and developmental level. She is also an excellent communicator with families. Sara is proactive in sharing updates, speaking up when something isn’t working, and quickly communicating any changes or concerns so they can be addressed right away. This makes her especially trustworthy and easy to collaborate with. Beyond her clinical skills, Sara brings warmth, patience, and a genuine sense of fun to every interaction. She builds strong, trusting relationships with the children she works with while maintaining a structured and supportive environment. She is reliable, compassionate, and deeply committed to the well-being of every child in her care. Any family would be fortunate to have her.
