Experience & Qualifications

Introduction:

Hi there!
My name is Sarah and I love the honesty and fun children offer and the learning experience in ways to continuously improve my interaction with them to optimise their experience and my own.... There is always something to learn and keep you on your toes. I am confident and competent with all ages ranging from little babies in nappies, to toddlers and teaching them to ski and trying to be cool for the slightly older.
I love to teach yoga and use my vitality and energy by getting the children involved in sports and other activities. Technology and I have a limited relationship! Creativity is key. I think children have as much to teach me and remind me about life as I have to offer in keeping them safe, entertained and most importantly happy.
Qualifications:

I have 12 years of childcare experience mainly in Verbier but have also used the flexibility of childcare to travel and become a qualified masseuse and yoga teacher of 8 years. I have looked after children in st Tropez, Corsica, Australia, Greece, Portugal and the west coast of France and Lake Geneva.
I have first aid from Petit Verbier nannying services in Verbier, where I have worked for three years.
I have also experience of summer camp teaching English and a range of excursions and activities within Switzerland. I have a degree in English with media studies and also my TESOL which I used in Cambodia for three months.
Experience:

I have worked with children of all ages ranging from 5 months to 13 year. The most children I have au paired for within one family, was for a mother of six, regulary over a winter season. Mostly I have been responsible for young babies and children up with to six years of age. I have taught young children from three to ski, organise kiddie yoga and like to use a fun interactive learning approach.

"Sarah White worked for me from 2005 to 2007 when I started a chalet rental company in the Swiss ski resort Verbier. She was loyal, reliable and most of all, good fun. Sarah is great at managing client expectations and understands the importance of good customer service. Some years later when I had a child of my own, sarah regularly looked after my son Oscar (from 4 months old) - I trust her implicitly. She had a kind but confident way with children - something I witnessed with my own little boy but also with many others over the years. Kids love her! "

"Sarah White has worked as our nanny in Verbier for the whole ski season in 2014-2015 looking after our children Charlie and Sofia (aged 3 and 5 at the time)
The moment Sarah walked into our life it was for my children love at the first sight.
Sarah is warm, gentle and always happy around the children.
She is so fun and caring they cannot help but fall in love with her immediately
She was so flexible and willing to help the whole time.
Sarah was very attentive to look after the house also tiding up toys , plates and everything the children used
She made their beds every morning and just made sure everything was spotless by the time we came back home
Both my husband Steve and I would recommend Sarah to anybody to look after their kids
She is just wonderful and we are very happy to be contacted any time to give references

Kind Regards

"Sarah nannied for me looking after my three young children whilst on our annual skiing holiday for two years in a row. An excellent nanny, my children adored her. She was very happy to multi task and was extremely flexible and competent as well as being a thoroughly nice trustworthy person.

She accompanied them skiing, went swimming, played endless board and card games plus creative activities such as drawing etc. She was great with all ages and both girls and boys. She made lunch, tidied up after them and read to them. They loved their time with her.

I would not hesitate to recommend her and would definitely use her again.

Please feel free to email me if you have any further questions.

Best wishes

"Hi Claire,
We absolutely loved Sarah and had such a positive experience with her. Sarah cared for our granddaughter for almost month in the summer of 2016 while we were vacationing in Chamonix from the States. At the time our granddaughter was 1 1/2 and she took to her immediately. Our schedule was somewhat flexible and we’d usually work out our days the day before. We contracted for 20 hours a week prior to our arrival in Chamonix. She was ALWAYS punctual, more than capable and very willing to meet our flexible schedule. Sarah took Finley on outings in and around Chamonix as well as prepared her meals as needed. She is such a happy, positive person and it was truly a pleasure to be around her. We returned to Chamonix last summer with every intention of having Sarah help us again but she had committed to be in another county prior to our contacting her or we would have used her again without hesitation. We continue to enjoy contact with Sarah and hope to return to Chamonix next summer where, hopefully, she can help us out again. I hope I’ve answered your questions and feel free to email if you need anything else.

Karla Edwards,

To whom it may concern
Reference for Sarah White
Baby-Cham is the longest running premiere Babysitting agency in the French ski resorts of Chamonix.
Sarah worked with Baby-Cham as a Babysitter in August 2018. Throughout this time Sarah completed 2 different Babysitting jobs with us. The ages of children she cared for ranged from 2 - 8 year olds, and up to 3 children at one time.
Sarah communicated well throughout the booking with not only with Baby-Cham but with the parents. She was flexible and ready to work turning up with a great fun attitude and a professional approach to her job. We received good feedback from the parents regarding the time she spent with the families, here is an example below
“Just wanted to let you know Sarah was fantastic. The kids loved her and had a wonderful day. We look forward to seeing her again tomorrow”.
We will be sad to loose Sarah and should she return to Chamonix we would welcome her back with huge open arms, our loss is definitely others gain!
If you would like to call me or send me an email regarding Sarah please do not hesitate to do so, I could not recommend her highly enough as the role with Children of all ages.
Kind regards
