Meet Sarah: A nanny and babysitter in Dakabin, QLD

Hi, my name is Sarah. I’m an experienced childcare and youth support worker with a strong background in supporting children and young people with complex behaviours, disabilities, and diverse needs. I bring over 6 years of hands-on experience in both home and community settings, and I’m passionate about creating safe, nurturing, and empowering environments for the children and families I support.

Childcare & Youth Work Experience

I’ve worked extensively with children aged from infancy to teens, including those with ASD, ADHD, trauma backgrounds, and intellectual or physical disabilities. My approach is trauma-informed, strengths-based, and always guided by empathy, patience, and consistency. I’ve provided 1:1 support, group care, and respite, and I am confident in managing challenging behaviours using proactive, respectful strategies.

Disability Support & Allied Health Experience

My role has often involved close collaboration with allied health professionals such as occupational therapists, speech pathologists, psychologists, and physiotherapists. I’ve supported the implementation of therapy plans, sensory regulation strategies, communication systems (including PECS and AAC), and daily routines that build independence and confidence..
