Sara Starck grew up in northern Indiana building tree forts, making mud pies and driving tractors. There she developed a love for the outdoors and physical activity.  While attending Purdue University she rowed on the Crew Team, competed in marathons and triathlons until the fun (sort-of) ended when she graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Agriculture and Biological Engineering.  She started her career with Nestle USA where she worked to improve the quality and manufacturing of their food products. She supervised crews of 10-20 people and led many focused improvement teams while staying active by continuing to compete in a number of marathons and triathlons.  In April 2008, Sara and her husband relocated to the Washington DC area.   She continued to work for Nestle at Dreyers’ Grand Ice Cream, but the commute and long hours took her away from Noah, their son.  So after “making it work” for 10 months she surprisingly decided to be a stay at home mom. 

Sara loves staying home with Noah, but missed structure and challenge in her daylight hours.  Upon meeting Sheila, she gladly accepted the position as Child Care Supervisor/Child Fitness Lead for FIT 4 MOMS, LLC and FIT 4 KIDZ.  Sara most recently gave birth to her daughter, Natalie and is finding great joy in mothering 2 children.  Sara has earned her Child Fitness certification through AFPA.  She loves interacting with the children to keep them active and fit.  She enjoys the challenge of developing their fine and gross motor skills as well as teamwork and problem solving.  Sara strives to create activities that increase strength, coordination, flexibility, and creativity as well as a little “free play”.    She hopes to encourage children of all ages to be physically active and build the foundation for lifelong health.
