“Sheri from Ada County Nanny has been an absolute blessing to our family. Initially, she joined us during a difficult and overwhelming period for just a month. However, she not only agreed to extend her stay but has consistently exceeded our expectations by going above and beyond to make the past year easier for all of us, especially my two sons. Despite the challenges of witnessing our family's ups and downs, Sheri has remained a loving and positive presence throughout.
Our children formed a deep attachment to her quickly, and she has never let them down. She is warm, nurturing, and provides the necessary structure and discipline they need. From the time they leave school until dinnertime, Sheri is there for them, diligently helping with their homework (which can be quite challenging, considering one of my sons has a learning disability). I can always rely on Sheri to keep me informed about their lives and promptly share any updates from their teachers.
Apart from her invaluable qualities, Sheri possesses exceptional organizational skills that have been a true lifesaver for both my sons and myself. With a multitude of appointments and conflicting activities to coordinate, she has gracefully risen to the challenge. Even when the boys are at school, Sheri keeps herself busy with various tasks, ranging from running errands to conducting research on obscure inquiries and potential purchases. As an added bonus, Sheri has an impressive ability to find bargains and has been incredibly diligent in managing our budget. Her efforts have not only saved me from immense stress but have also enabled me to meet deadlines that would have otherwise slipped away.
I cannot speak highly enough of Ada County Nanny's Sheri. Her dedication, love, and exemplary organizational skills have had a significant impact on our lives. We are truly grateful to have her as an integral part of our family.”
“Let me begin by providing some context regarding the reason we hired Ada County Nanny and the circumstances surrounding our family. As a stay-at-home Dad, I had to return to work due to a divorce and a move to a new residence scheduled for September. We initially sought a full-time nanny for the month of August, with plans to transition to part-time once the children started school. Additionally, my eldest son faces challenges with behavior and emotions, making parenting a difficult task. The divorce had a negative impact on both of my children, resulting in household anger. Despite being aware of these circumstances, Sheri willingly accepted the position and seamlessly jumped into action. Sheri effortlessly managed the children's daily activities, including errands, doctor's appointments, and school pickups. She maintained regular communication with me through phone calls and emails, alleviating any concerns I had about my children's safety. Working closely with an Applied Behavior Analyst, Sheri implemented a reward-based parenting technique to assist my children. She also sought guidance from my son's Psychologist and Therapist to better understand and handle his unique needs. Furthermore, Sheri collaborated with my youngest son's Therapist to address his anger related to the divorce. Utilizing this knowledge, she developed an effective after-school program that encompassed homework, extracurricular activities, and free time. Despite her significant responsibilities, she always found time to keep the house tidy, prepare lunches, and cook dinner. Prior to leaving each day, she made a point to update me on the day's events, review homework, and discuss upcoming plans. Thanks to Sheri's love and care, the behavior of both my children has dramatically improved. My eldest son is excelling in school and displays greater emotional stability. Similarly, my youngest son has overcome his anger issues and exhibits improved behavior. I attribute a large portion of this positive change to Sheri's dedication and nurturing approach. Additionally, outside of her role as an Ada County Nanny, Sheri has gone above and beyond by assuming the role of a personal assistant. She assisted with various tasks for my wife and I, such as meeting with realtors and shopping for furniture during our move to a new apartment. Given that the boys primarily reside with me, Sheri played a crucial role in creating a comfortable and safe living environment. When I encountered difficulties with the landlord, Sheri took initiative by gathering information from local authorities to strengthen my case for moving out. She even accompanied me to court to offer support. Additionally, throughout the year, we required assistance with childcare on certain evenings and weekends. Sheri took charge of the entire process, from posting ads and screening calls to conducting interviews and negotiating salaries. I led her to believe that I made the hiring decisions, but truthfully, it was her expertise that led us to find someone who shares the same level of care and affection for the children. Unsurprisingly, Sheri handled all of these responsibilities effortlessly, making her invaluable as a personal assistant. She managed my daily routine, reminded me of appointments, and took charge of various tasks, allowing me to focus on my new job. Replacing her will undoubtedly prove challenging. Sheri is a reliable and dependable individual who can readily take on any assigned task. She approaches daily responsibilities with ease and adapts flexibly when necessary. She listens to advice from others and translates it into effective action. While she is capable of providing sound advice, she always seeks approval before taking any action. Given the difficult circumstances my family has faced, Sheri has lightened the load by taking care of daily chores like making lunches, cooking dinner, doing the children's laundry, maintaining a clean apartment, and handling grocery shopping. Moreover, she has provided comfort, guidance, and occasional discipline for my children. To say she is remarkable would be an understatement, and I wholeheartedly recommend her services.”
“Ada County Nanny: One of the most important decisions parents make is choosing a child care provider who can offer peace of mind, ensuring their children are in a safe, caring, and nurturing environment. I feel incredibly lucky to have found Sheri to look after my kids! She has been an absolute blessing. In March 1997, my husband and I interviewed Sheri through a nanny agency, as we were in need of someone to care for our three children - aged 6 months, 3 years, and 6 years - three days a week, for about 10 hours each day. It was clear right away that she would fit right in with our family! She effortlessly connected with my three-year-old, sitting with him on her lap, reading through books together. Sheri's ability to create warmth, encouragement, and comfort for my kids comes from her own inner child! You can often find her sitting on the floor, at their eye level, engaging in games and activities that they thrive on. Sheri willingly jumps into childhood games like hide-and-seek, Chutes and Ladders, and cards. We even joke about her ability to play the 10th game of Candy Land with the same enthusiasm as the first! Throughout the eight years Sheri has been with us, she has adapted her interaction to meet the changing needs of the children. She expertly navigated situations with my 6-month-old, including illnesses, diaper changes, and meal preparations. Our child with ADHD, Ammon, received the extra patience and guidance he needed from Sheri. She adhered to a special diet we implemented, removing foods with preservatives, artificial colors, and flavors. When he required therapy sessions, she ensured he made it to the appointments. Sheri has even helped my daughter develop into a confident young teen, guiding her in hairstyles, fashion choices, and offering advice. Sheri is truly remarkable - an energetic individual who genuinely adores children! The kids give her"peanut butter and jelly kisses"Ada County Nanny: Sheri, renowned for her knack of receiving a kiss on either cheek. Sheri is a nanny who can unquestionably be relied upon and is exceedingly dependable. She is remarkably punctual, ensuring she arrives promptly every day. She possesses a unique ability to think independently, enabling her to carry out tasks without the need for constant instructions. Sheri diligently tackles everyday household chores, such as laundry, dishwashing, light vacuuming, tidying, creating nutritious school lunches, grocery shopping, cooking dinners, and even whipping up delectable desserts. If she recognizes the need for extra effort, she willingly takes it upon herself. For instance, while replenishing groceries, Sheri diligently clears out expired food from the refrigerator and thoroughly cleans the shelves for a more pristine appearance. Sheri actively engages in the children's activities, going above and beyond. During the summer months, she accompanies them to swimming lessons and even, to motivate my son to conquer his fear of the diving board, fearlessly jumps into the deep end, reassuring him of her close presence should he require assistance. Sheri attends school plays and concerts, dutifully driving the children to and from scouting events. Whenever the children encounter challenges with their homework, Sheri provides valuable aid. The children affectionately refer to the playground Sheri takes them to as a cherished haven."Sheri's Playground"Because she feels it is the most secure playground in Ada County, Sheri, our Ada County Nanny, always takes the children there. The neighborhood mothers are consistently impressed with Sheri's skills and enthusiasm, often telling me how lucky I am to have her. When the kids get sick, Sheri is there to nurse them back to health. She doesn't hesitate to take them to the doctor or ensure they take their medicine. In fact, when my son had pneumonia, she stayed by his side to attend to his needs. To prevent boredom, Sheri engages the children in calm, entertaining games. Although we have been fortunate in terms of health, Sheri has handled colds, the flu, conjunctivitis, ear infections, stomach ailments, and post-surgery care with ease. Additionally, Sheri has been a tremendous help during our family vacations. She meticulously planned our trip to Florida, providing us with a detailed itinerary and leveraging her knowledge of the Disney theme parks to make it unforgettable. She also kept a watchful eye on the children during our visits to water parks and the shore, allowing my husband and I to have some alone time without worrying about their safety. In summary, Sheri has been an absolute blessing to our family. She has provided us with worry-free childcare and has proven to be reliable, dynamic, creative, and fun-loving. Through her positive influence, my children are growing up as confident and secure individuals.”
“In December 1999, we were introduced to Sheri, who became our trusted Ada County Nanny for Holly. Our daughter Rachel and Holly share a close friendship, often having sleepovers together. Sheri would typically be at Holly's residence, taking care of the children. We had complete faith that Rachel was in safe hands under Sheri's care. Sheri consistently proved herself to be reliable and responsible. Rachel grew quite fond of Sheri due to her vibrant energy and genuine enthusiasm.”
“In 1988, I had the pleasure of meeting Sheri, who happened to be my full-time Nanny's cousin. At that time, my older daughter, Alesandra, was two years old, and my youngest daughter, Danielle, had just been born. Sheri started working for me as a substitute on the days when Louise, my full-time Nanny, was off or on vacation. This arrangement continued throughout 1989, until Louise had to leave her position. It was then that I made the decision to hire Sheri as our full-time Ada County Nanny. She proved to be exceptional in her role, showing a deep sense of care, patience, and helpfulness. Every day, my daughters eagerly awaited her arrival. Sheri skillfully handled all the responsibilities, from changing diapers, feeding, and playing with the children, to assisting with grocery shopping and running light errands. I had complete trust in her, even allowing her to drive my children in her car. In fact, she even joined us for our summer boating trips and beach vacations. However, as time went on, my mother moved in permanently with us, and I no longer required a full-time nanny. It was a bittersweet moment as we bid farewell to Sheri. She was truly an incredible individual, and I am grateful that our family had the privilege of having her in our lives.”
“I have known Sheri for 24 years now, and she has undoubtedly become my closest and most cherished friend. Loving Sheri is effortless because she possesses a truly exceptional and distinctive personality. When it comes to caring for children or anyone else, she exhibits an unparalleled level of generosity and affection. Sheri's unwavering commitment to helping others knows no bounds, extending even to those she may not know well. I have witnessed her dedication firsthand as she played an instrumental role in raising her younger brother and sister, alongside her single mother. Moreover, her devotion extends to her niece, with whom she spends considerable quality time. I must say, Sheri's ability to connect with children is absolutely awe-inspiring!
Sheri's love for her siblings and niece was never driven by a sense of responsibility; she simply thrived on it, and she continues to do so with her 11-year-old niece. Seeing the deep bond she has formed with the three children she currently cares for is a testament to Sheri's remarkable character. The affection they reciprocate speaks volumes about the impact she has on their lives. For Sheri, being an Ada County Nanny is not just a job; it is an opportunity to immerse herself in every single moment she spends with the children. She constantly engages them, planning various activities such as crafting, painting, playing games, and even outings to the local park. Sheri is not one to rely on videos to keep the children occupied; she creates meaningful experiences for them.
While I may not have children of my own, I can wholeheartedly say that Sheri is one of the few individuals I would trust implicitly with their lives. Any parent would consider themselves extraordinarily fortunate to have Sheri as a caregiver for their children.”
“Sheri, an exceptional individual, possesses an unwavering sincerity and honesty that I have consistently relied upon and she has never hesitated to assist me. Her positive outlook on life sets her apart from others. If I were to ever hire an Ada County Nanny, Sheri would be my first choice without a doubt. Since my children were born, she has been an integral part of their lives and they affectionately refer to her as Aunt Sheri. Observing her interactions with my children, I have placed utmost trust in her and have entrusted their well-being to her care in my absence, including times when we have gone on vacation together. It is evident that her profound aptitude for childcare is a natural gift, likely inherited from her close relationship with her own mother. With patience, understanding, and a playful spirit, she exudes the essence of a nurturing caregiver. I have also witnessed her interactions with the three children she previously served as a nanny for. Sheri skillfully strikes a harmonious balance between being their caregiver and their friend. We often organize play dates, enjoy summer outings at local parks, and engage in various fun activities together. It is undeniable that Sheri adores the children she cares for, and reciprocally, they hold her in high regard. Moreover, Sheri consistently surpasses her job responsibilities, demonstrating an extraordinary commitment not only to the children but also to their parents. Her genuine passion for her work is truly remarkable. In summary, a better Ada County Nanny could not be found than Sheri.”
“In the fall of 2006, I first encountered Sheri while assisting one of my clients. My task was to provide a behavioral consultation and parent training to a family in Ada County, assigned through the Division of Youth and Family Services. At that time, Sheri served as the nanny for the family's two boys, aged 8 and 11. These boys presented significant challenges in terms of their needs and behaviors. Moreover, the parents were going through a divorce but had to reside together for supervision purposes. The household was in disarray, with the parents unable to agree on goals or approaches concerning the boys. DYFS was involved, and the mother's mental health was a concern.
Amidst this highly turbulent and difficult period, Sheri played a pivotal role in preventing the family from spiraling completely. She remained an unwavering presence while various other elements fluctuated constantly. Sheri approached the parents and the boys with calmness and assertiveness. Despite facing unreasonable and ever-changing demands, she effectively managed her time. Sheri fostered a parental-like relationship with the boys, exhibiting immense affection while also maintaining firm boundaries when necessary. She was able to engage in playful and joyful interactions, while simultaneously making expectations and limits clear. It was apparent that both boys adored and relied on Sheri for guidance and support. Her contribution to the boys' behavior modification was truly priceless.
Throughout this process, I had the opportunity to freely communicate with Sheri, acquire information, and collaborate with her. She was open to brainstorming sessions and even enabled me to visit her home for meetings. Sheri consistently offered her assistance in any way necessary to support the boys' progress. Once goals and plans were established, Sheri skillfully implemented the strategies. With one child being on the autism spectrum and the other constantly seeking negative attention due to anger and resentment, Sheri had to address violence, cursing, yelling, personal insults, disobedience, and the daily challenges of managing their demanding schedules. Regardless, she remained committed to ensuring their completion of homework, meals, and showers on time. Sheri effectively incorporated the new behavior systems and guidelines that were put in place for the family, showcasing her dedication to these responsibilities.
Not only did the parents rely heavily on Sheri during their personal struggles, she managed to maintain her professionalism and personal integrity. She refrained from taking things personally and maintained a clear understanding of the situation. Her primary objective was consistently to cultivate a positive and reliable environment for the boys. Overall, I found Sheri to be highly efficient, reliable, mature, quick-thinking, creative, patient, professional, and friendly. Without hesitation, I highly recommend her to any family as she would undoubtedly be an asset in their lives.”
“Ada County Nanny: Sheri was the designated caregiver for a child under my care in Ada County. Her ability to effectively manage this child's challenging emotions and behavior was truly commendable. In times of anger, she skillfully diffused his frustration by implementing firm boundaries, providing clear consequences, and cleverly infusing humor when appropriate. Furthermore, Sheri adeptly articulated the rationale behind her disciplinary actions and engaged the child in discussions regarding intricate social scenarios he struggled with. Additionally, she fostered a profound connection between the child and herself through her affectionate and playful demeanor. I should also highlight Sheri's invaluable assistance to the child's hardworking parents, extending beyond grocery shopping to other domestic responsibilities like coordinating schedules, maintaining household organization, and managing personal finances. Lastly, Sheri's reliability and sense of responsibility in maintaining the child's intricate schedule were truly remarkable. I firmly believe that Sheri's contributions would be an invaluable asset to any family!”
“As an Elementary School teacher, I have had the privilege of working closely with Sheri, a dedicated after school caretaker for one of my second grade students in the 2006-2007 school year. Sheri played an essential role in maintaining consistent and structured care for the child, serving as a liaison between the parents and myself. I consistently observed Sheri's responsible nature when picking up the child each day and her genuine interest in the progress of his day. Her approach included offering praise and positive reinforcement when necessary, as well as discussing appropriate consequences when needed. Through her caring demeanor, Sheri fostered a relationship with the child based on respect and understanding.
I have also witnessed firsthand how Sheri, as a devoted Ada County Nanny, has contributed to the child's academic and social success at school. She actively ensures that he completes homework assignments on time and encourages attentive listening and following directions when leaving school. Working alongside myself and the parents, Sheri has become an invaluable team member in providing support to this second grade student. I am genuinely grateful for the opportunity to collaborate with her in this capacity throughout the school year.”
“I first met Sheri when she joined as a caregiver for one of my students, Ryan, which marked the beginning of our relationship. With my experience as a former Nanny of 6 children and a Nursery School teacher for several years, I can confidently say that Sheri embodies all the qualities required to be an exceptional Ada County Nanny. She faithfully brings Ryan to school every day and shows genuine excitement to hear about his daily activities and progress. Sheri actively involves herself in Ryan's day-to-day life at school and has willingly volunteered to assist on various field trips.
During these outings, witnessing Sheri's interaction with the children firsthand allowed me to truly appreciate her remarkable qualities. She exhibits a perfect balance of firmness and care, engaging effortlessly with the children. Sheri doesn't need to command attention; her natural leadership skills make children respond wonderfully to her. After our initial field trip together, I felt at ease knowing that she was going to be part of another excursion with Ryan's class. Her competence and responsible behavior with the children were evident. In fact, she has even taken up the role of driver on multiple occasions and has always proved to be a responsible and safe driver, comfortably transporting 3 to 4 students to and from field trips.
Moreover, Sheri's dedication in assisting Ryan with his educational development has been impressive. She has earnestly worked with him to learn his colors and letters, and I have witnessed the positive impact of her hard work on Ryan's progress throughout the school year. Aside from these qualities, Sheri possesses other characteristics that are essential in caring for children. She excels in communication, effortlessly connecting with both children and adults alike. Sheri also places great importance on personal appearance, ensuring that she presents herself well and teaching the children the significance of personal care.
Given all these observations, I wholeheartedly endorse Sheri and am more than comfortable providing a letter of recommendation for her. She is an outstanding Nanny, and any family would be incredibly fortunate to have her on their team!”
