Dickinson County Nanny Sheri's References

“I cannot express enough praise for Sheri, our Dickinson County Nanny. Initially, she joined our family for just a month during a challenging and stressful period. However, not only did she agree to extend her stay, but she consistently surpassed expectations, making the past year easier for all of us, especially my two sons. Despite the difficulties she may have faced, Sheri remained a loving and positive presence in our lives. She quickly formed a bond with our children and never let them down, providing both warmth and discipline. Sheri spends time with the boys from when they leave school until dinner, assisting them with their homework, which is no small feat considering that one of our sons has a learning disability. I can always rely on Sheri to keep me informed about their lives and relay any important information from their teachers. On top of these invaluable qualities, Sheri possesses exceptional organizational skills that have been a blessing to both the boys and myself. With numerous appointments and conflicting activities to manage, she handles the challenge with ease. During the boys' school hours, Sheri remains proactive by taking on various tasks for me, such as running errands and conducting detailed research. (By the way, Sheri is an excellent bargain-hunter and has been more diligent in managing our budget than I could have imagined!) Her efforts have alleviated an enormous amount of stress and ensured that I meet deadlines that otherwise would have been missed or forgotten.”

“Let me begin by providing some context regarding the reasons behind hiring the Dickinson County Nanny and our family's circumstances. As a stay-at-home Dad, I found myself in need of returning to work due to the impending divorce from my wife. Moreover, with a relocation scheduled for September, we initially sought a full-time nanny for the month of August, with the intention of transitioning to part-time once the children started school. A key factor in our decision-making process was the behavioral and emotional challenges our eldest son faced, which made parenting difficult. As the divorce took its toll on our household, anger became a prevalent emotion. However, Sheri, despite being aware of all these circumstances, readily accepted the position and seamlessly integrated herself into our family. During this period of transition, Sheri provided much-needed structure for the children. From handling logistics such as errands, doctor's appointments, and school pick-ups, to effortlessly staying in touch with me through phone and email, she ensured my children's safety was never a concern. Sheri collaborated with an Applied Behavior Analyst (ABA) to implement a reward-based parenting technique that proved beneficial for my children. She also sought guidance from my son's Psychologist and Therapist to understand how best to address his unique needs. Additionally, as my youngest son struggled with anger related to the divorce, Sheri collaborated with his Therapist from Panorama Park to provide comprehensive care. Incorporating all of this knowledge, she developed and implemented an effective after-school program that included homework, extracurricular activities, and free time. Despite her many responsibilities, Sheri even found time to maintain a clean home, prepare lunches, and make dinner. Before leaving for the day, she always made it a point to keep me informed about their activities, review homework, and discuss upcoming events. Thanks to Sheri's loving and attentive care, my children's behavior has remarkably improved. My eldest son is performing better at school and displays a calmer disposition, while my youngest son has witnessed a significant reduction in anger and overall improvement in behavior. I credit these positive developments to Sheri's unwavering dedication and commitment to their well-being. In fact, her role extended beyond that of a Dickinson County Nanny, as she willingly assumed the position of a personal assistant, diligently assisting my wife and me with various tasks. During our move to a new apartment, she met with realtors, shopped for furniture, and helped create a comfortable living space for the boys, who primarily reside with me. Sheri even took control and actively gathered information from the town and county when issues arose with our landlord, ultimately providing crucial support during legal proceedings. Throughout the year, we required both weekday and weekend childcare assistance. Sheri skillfully handled the entire hiring process, from placing ads and screening phone responses to conducting interviews and negotiating salaries. Although I let her believe that I made the final decision, it was Sheri who identified and selected someone with qualities akin to her own – a person who genuinely cares and loves the children. In truth, she has become an invaluable personal assistant, managing errands, overseeing my daily routine, reminding me of appointments, and expertly handling tasks that allowed me to focus on my new job responsibilities. Finding a suitable replacement for Sheri will undoubtedly be a challenging task. In essence, Sheri is a reliable and dependable individual who effortlessly handles daily responsibilities. She remains flexible and adaptable when circumstances require adjustments. She willingly seeks advice from others and skillfully translates it into effective action, always ensuring approval before proceeding. Throughout this difficult year for my family, Sheri's invaluable contributions extended far beyond mundane chores like cooking, cleaning, laundry, and grocery shopping. She has been a source of comfort, advisor, and even disciplinarian for my children. Her exceptional qualities make her truly remarkable, and I wholeheartedly recommend her to others seeking an exceptional caregiver.”

“Choosing the right child care provider for your children is one of the most important decisions a parent can make. It is crucial to find someone who can create a safe, loving, and nurturing environment for them. Fortunately, I found the perfect caregiver in Sheri, and she has been nothing short of a blessing. In March 1997, my husband and I interviewed Sheri through a nanny agency to take care of our three children. At the time, they were 6 months, 3 years, and 6 years old, and we needed someone for three days a week for approximately 10 hours a day. Right from the start, we knew Sheri was the right fit for our family. Our three-year-old immediately bonded with her as she sat with him on her lap, engrossed in a storybook. Sheri possesses a unique ability to provide warmth, encouragement, and comfort to my children by tapping into her inner child. She often sits on the floor to engage with them on their level, and they thrive under her playful and attentive nature. Sheri happily participates in childhood games like hide-and-seek, Chutes and Ladders, and card games. It amazes us how she maintains the same enthusiasm for the tenth consecutive game of Candy Land as she had for the first! Over the course of the eight years Sheri has been with us, she has adapted her interaction with the children as they grew. With our youngest being only six months old when Sheri started, she skillfully handled all aspects of care, including illnesses, diapering, and preparing food. When our child from Blockton was diagnosed with ADHD in 1999, Sheri provided him with the extra patience and guidance he needed. She even followed a special diet for him, eliminating foods with preservatives, artificial colors, and flavors. Sheri went above and beyond by driving him to therapy sessions when required. She has also played a crucial role in our daughter's development into a confident and positive pre-teen, offering guidance on hairstyles, clothing choices, and life advice. Sheri is a truly exceptional and dynamic individual who genuinely loves children. The children adore her"peanut butter and jelly kisses"Dickinson County Nanny has been affectionately nicknamed "Sheri's Double Kiss Playground." Sheri, the reliable and dependable nanny, always arrives punctually each day. She possesses the ability to think independently, requiring minimal instructions. Sheri efficiently manages various household chores such as laundry, dishwasher emptying, light vacuuming, tidying, creating nutritious school lunches, grocery shopping, preparing dinner, and even baking delicious desserts. She goes the extra mile by proactively identifying areas that may require additional effort. For example, during grocery unloading, Sheri meticulously cleans out the old food from the refrigerator, wiping down shelves for a visibly cleaner appearance. Sheri actively engages with the children, immersing herself in their activities. During summer, she arranges swimming lessons and fearlessly dives into the deep end to boost my son's confidence and reassure him that she's always nearby if needed. Sheri enthusiastically attends school plays and concerts, chauffeuring the children to and from scouting events. When the kids encounter challenges with their homework, she readily lends a hand. The playground that Sheri frequently takes them to is endearingly referred to by the children as their personal haven."Sheri's Playground"We are incredibly fortunate to have Sheri as our Dickinson County Nanny because she believes it is the safest playground in the area, with open spaces where she can keep an eye on all the children at once. The neighborhood mothers are consistently impressed by Sheri's competence and enthusiasm and often express their gratitude for having her as our Dickinson County Nanny. Whenever our children have been ill, Sheri has provided nursing assistance, taking them to the doctor if necessary and ensuring they take their medication as prescribed. During my son's battle with pneumonia, she remained by his side, ready to attend to his needs. To keep the children entertained and engaged, Sheri creates peaceful and enjoyable activities. Despite our overall good health, Sheri has been there to handle common ailments such as colds, the flu, conjunctivitis, ear infections, stomach troubles, and post-surgery recovery. Moreover, Sheri has been invaluable in helping us during family vacations. She meticulously planned our entire trip to Florida, providing us with a detailed itinerary of events and sharing her expertise on the Disney theme parks to ensure we made the most of our vacation. Whether at water parks or the shore, she kept a watchful eye on the children, allowing my husband and me to relax and enjoy some alone time without worrying about their safety. In essence, Sheri has truly been a blessing to our family, providing us with worry-free childcare. She is dependable, engaging, innovative, and has a genuine love for fun and learning. Thanks to Sheri's positive influence, our children are growing into confident and secure individuals.”

“In December 1999, we had the honor of meeting Sheri, who became our beloved Dickinson County Nanny for Holly. Our daughter, Rachel, and Holly have a strong bond and often have sleepovers. Sheri was always there at Holly's house, taking great care of the children. We had complete faith in Sheri to ensure Rachel's well-being. Sheri proved herself to be consistently dependable and responsible. Rachel grew quite fond of Sheri, thanks to her vibrant energy and enthusiastic nature.”

“In 1988, I first became acquainted with Sheri, who happens to be both my full-time nanny and cousin. At the time, my eldest daughter, Alesandra, was two years old, and my youngest daughter, Danielle, was just born. Initially, Sheri started working for me as a stand-in whenever Louise, our regular nanny, needed time off or took vacations. This arrangement lasted until 1989 when Louise had to step down from her role, and I eventually hired Sheri to be our full-time caregiver in Dickinson County. As a nanny, she was truly remarkable - exceptionally compassionate, patient, and always ready to lend a hand. Every day, my daughters eagerly anticipated her arrival. She not only cared for them remarkably well, but also supported me in various ways. From diaper changes and feeding to playtime and even assisting with grocery shopping and light errands, Sheri embraced her responsibilities wholeheartedly. I had complete faith in her, even entrusting her with my children in her own vehicle. We also had the pleasure of vacationing together on our boat and at the beach during the summers. However, as time went on, my mother moved in with us permanently, and the need for a full-time nanny diminished. It was truly a bittersweet moment bidding farewell to Sheri. She was an exceptional individual in every sense, and I am immensely grateful that my family had the privilege of having her in our lives.”

“I've known Sheri for 24 years now, and she continues to be my closest and most cherished friend. Sheri's loving nature is simply irresistible, and it's no surprise that everyone who knows her can't help but adore her. She possesses a truly exceptional and remarkable personality. When it comes to taking care of children, or anyone for that matter, Sheri's selflessness and warmth are truly unmatched. No matter how well she knows you, there is nothing she wouldn't do to help. Having grown up with a single mother, Sheri has had the opportunity to witness the responsibilities of childcare firsthand. She has not only helped raise her younger brother and sister but has also devoted significant time to her niece. It's incredible to see how much joy she finds in these roles, even now with her 11-year-old niece. The three children under her care in Dickinson County deeply adore her, and it's easy to see why. Sheri doesn't view her work as just a job; she embraces it wholeheartedly, cherishing every moment as a Dickinson County Nanny. She not only spends every minute with the children but also engages them with various activities and adventures, from crafting and painting to playing games and outings to the local park. While I don't have children myself, I can confidently say that Sheri would be one of the very few people I would trust entirely with their wellbeing. Any parent would be incredibly lucky to have Sheri as their children's caregiver.”

“Sheri, a remarkable individual, has always proven to be a reliable and trustworthy presence in my life. Without hesitation, she has consistently supported me whenever I've needed assistance, making her one of the most positive individuals I know. In the event that I were to ever hire a Dickinson County Nanny, Sheri is the only person I would consider. She has been an integral part of my children's lives since their birth, and they affectionately refer to her as Aunt Sheri. Witnessing her interactions with my kids, I trust her implicitly and have no reservations entrusting their well-being to her. She has cared for them in my absence and even accompanied us on vacations. Clearly a natural caregiver, Sheri's nurturing abilities likely stem from her close relationship with her own mother. Her patience, understanding, and playful nature make her an ideal companion for children. I have also observed her interactions with the three children she previously nannied, finding that she excels at maintaining a balance between a nanny and a friend. Together, we arrange playdates, visit local parks during the summer, and partake in various enjoyable activities. The children she works for adore her, and she reciprocates their affection wholeheartedly. Sheri consistently exceeds her job responsibilities, demonstrating an unwavering commitment not only to the children but also to their parents. Her genuine love for her work is unmistakable, making her an unparalleled nanny.”

“I first met Sheri, the Dickinson County Nanny, in the fall of 2006 while working with a client. At that time, I had been called upon by the Division of Youth and Family Services to provide behavioral consultation and parent training for a family. Sheri was the nanny for this particular family, responsible for taking care of two boys, aged 8 and 11. These boys presented quite a challenge due to their complex needs and difficult behavior. To make matters worse, the parents were going through a divorce but were required to live together for supervision purposes. The household was in complete chaos, with the parents unable to agree on goals or methods for the boys, and the involvement of DYFS raised concerns about the mother's mental health. Amidst this extremely difficult situation, I firmly believe that Sheri played a pivotal role in preventing this family from completely falling apart. She remained a constant presence when everything else seemed to be changing by the minute. Sheri was able to stay calm and assertive with both the parents and the boys. Despite facing unreasonable and constantly shifting demands, she managed her time effectively. Her relationship with the boys resembled that of a parent, providing them with love while being firm when necessary. Sheri was able to engage in play and laughter with them while maintaining clear boundaries and expectations. It was evident that both boys adored her and relied on her for guidance and support. Moreover, Sheri's contribution to the boys' behavior modification was invaluable. I could freely contact her, seek information, and meet her in her home for brainstorming and collaboration. She readily offered whatever was necessary to assist the boys. Once I had established the goals and plans, Sheri successfully implemented the strategies. This was no easy task, considering one of the boys was on the autistic spectrum and the other harbored intense anger and resentment, constantly seeking negative attention. Sheri had to handle violence, cursing, yelling, personal insults, and disobedience on a daily basis, all while managing their demanding schedules, ensuring their completion of homework, and ensuring they were fed and bathed on time. Every aspect of her job seemed like a battle, yet she remained dedicated to adhering to the behavior systems and guidelines we had established for the family. It is worth noting that Sheri faced additional challenges in supporting the parents during their personal struggles. Despite this, she maintained her professionalism and personal integrity. Sheri never took things personally and always recognized the situation for what it was. Her goal was to maintain a positive and structured environment for the boys to thrive in. In summary, Sheri possesses exceptional qualities such as efficiency, reliability, maturity, quick thinking, creativity, patience, professionalism, and friendliness. She would undoubtedly be an asset to any family, and I wholeheartedly recommend her without reservation!”

“Sheri served as a nanny in Dickinson County, showcasing her exceptional talents in managing the emotions and behavior of one of my young patients. When confronted with the child's outbursts, she skillfully calmed him down, employing a combination of clear boundaries, appropriate consequences, and even humor. Furthermore, she adeptly explained her disciplinary actions and engaged him in discussions about the complexities of social interactions, which he finds challenging. Sheri also formed a strong and affectionate bond with the child through her playful interactions. Not only did she provide childcare, but Sheri also assisted the child's working parents with various household tasks, including shopping and organizing schedules, finances, and household affairs. Lastly, she demonstrated utmost diligence and reliability in managing my patient's demanding schedule. In conclusion, Sheri's invaluable qualities make her an asset to any family she joins.”

“I am an elementary school teacher in Dickinson County. Throughout the 2006-2007 school year, I maintained regular communication with Sheri, who was responsible for after-school care of one of my students. Sheri served as a vital link between the parents, myself, and the child, ensuring consistency and structure in his daily routine. I observed her sense of responsibility in picking him up every day and inquiring about his progress. She effectively gave praise and positive reinforcement when needed, while appropriately discussing the consequences of his actions. In both instances, her caring nature shone through, and the child responded with respect and understanding. As a Dickinson County Nanny, Sheri has played a crucial role in enhancing the child's academic and social success. She diligently assists him in completing homework assignments on time and encourages him to follow instructions when leaving school. Together with the parents, Sheri has been an invaluable part of the support system for this second-grade student. Working with her in this capacity throughout the school year has been highly appreciated.”

“When Sheri started working as a caregiver for my student, Ryan, our relationship began. Having been a nanny for six children and a nursery school teacher for several years, I am confident in stating that Sheri possesses all the qualities required to be an exceptional Dickinson County Nanny. She faithfully brings Ryan to school every day and genuinely expresses interest in his daily activities and progress. Sheri actively involves herself in Ryan's day-to-day life at school, and even volunteers to join field trips. It was during these field trips that I had the chance to witness Sheri's interaction with children firsthand. She displayed a perfect balance of assertiveness and compassion, playing and engaging wonderfully with the children. Remarkably, Sheri effortlessly earns the attention and respect of the children without having to demand it. This natural leadership quality makes her an outstanding caregiver. Following our initial field trip experience together, I felt completely at ease knowing that she would be assisting on future trips with Ryan's class. Sheri proved herself to be competent and responsible when it came to taking care of the children. She even took on the role of a driver on multiple occasions, ensuring that three to four students were safely transported to and from the field trips. Sheri's commitment to helping Ryan with his educational progress is impressive as well. She has dedicated time and effort into teaching Ryan his colors and letters, and I have witnessed firsthand how her hard work has contributed to his advancement throughout the school year. Additionally, Sheri possesses other essential characteristics that are crucial for taking care of children. She is an excellent communicator, effectively interacting with both children and adults alike. Moreover, Sheri takes great pride in her appearance and emphasizes the importance of personal care to the children under her care. It is with utmost confidence that I write this letter of recommendation for Sheri. She is an exceptional nanny and any family would be fortunate to have her in their employ.”
