About Me

Hey there! I'm Sarah, a student teacher with a passion for soaking up the outdoors and bringing that excitement into the classroom. You'll often find me catching waves on my surfboard, going to the gym to stay active, or channeling my creativity through various art forms. I'm all about that balance between the excitement of outdoor activities and the joy of teaching.

My bubbly personality is something I carry into the classroom, where I believe learning should be an adventure. I love infusing nature, physical activity, and artistic expression into my lessons. Whether we're talking about the science behind waves, taking quick movement breaks, or diving into art projects, I'm all in for making learning as engaging and enjoyable as possible.

Being an avid surfer, gym-goer, and artist isn't just about my personal interests; it's about sharing those passions with my students. I'm always looking for creative ways to tie in my outdoor hobbies into lessons. With a warm and approachable vibe, I strive to create an environment where students feel comfortable expressing themselves and embracing the fun in learning.

My Experience

Combining my experience as a student teacher with my role as a babysitter has given me a comprehensive understanding of child development and effective caregiving. In both the classroom and home settings, I've learned to adapt to the unique needs of children. As a teacher, I've honed my skills in managing a classroom, planning engaging lessons, and fostering a positive learning environment. These experiences have also translated well into my babysitting responsibilities.

Whether in the classroom or at a family's home, I prioritize creating a safe, nurturing space where children feel comfortable expressing themselves. My teaching background has equipped me with the ability to design age-appropriate activities that not only entertain but also facilitate learning and social development. During babysitting sessions, I seamlessly integrate educational elements into playtime, encouraging curiosity and creativity.

Moreover, my experience as a teacher has strengthened my communication skills, enabling me to connect with children in a way that promotes trust and understanding. I recognize the importance of clear and positive communication both in the classroom and when caring for children outside of school.

Overall, my dual roles as a student teacher and babysitter have provided me with a holistic perspective on childcare, allowing me to bring a unique blend of educational and nurturing approaches to my interactions with children.
