“I can't emphasize enough how amazing Sheri is! She initially joined our family for a month through a reputable Nanny Agency in Grace during a particularly challenging and stressful period. Not only did she willingly extend her stay, but she consistently surpassed expectations to make the past year easier for all of us, especially my two sons. Despite facing our family's ups and downs, Sheri remained a loving and positive individual throughout. She quickly formed a strong bond with our children and has never let them down. From picking them up after school to helping with homework (which can be quite demanding, considering one of our sons has a learning disability), she is a warm and nurturing presence who also provides the necessary structure and discipline. Sheri keeps me informed about their lives and promptly relays any updates from their teachers. Apart from these invaluable qualities, Sheri has a remarkable talent for organization, which has been a true blessing for both the boys and myself. With numerous appointments and conflicting activities to manage, she gracefully rises to the challenge. Even when the boys are at school, Sheri stays proactive by assisting me with various tasks, including running errands and conducting extensive research. (It's worth mentioning that she's an expert at finding great deals and has been vigilant in staying within our budget!) Her efforts have not only saved me from an overwhelming amount of stress but have also helped me meet deadlines that might have otherwise slipped away.”
“Let me start by providing some background on why she was hired through a Nanny Agency in Grace and the unique circumstances of our family. As a stay-at-home Dad, I needed to return to work due to my divorce from my wife and a move to a new residence. Initially, we wanted a full-time nanny for the month of August, with the plan to transition to part-time once the children started school in September. However, given my eldest son's behavior and emotional problems, parenting became a challenge. The divorce had also caused anger in the household, affecting both children's behaviors. Despite all of this, Sheri accepted the position and immediately jumped in to provide structure and support during this transitional period. With ease, she managed daily logistics like errands, doctor's appointments, and school pickups. Communication was never an issue as she stayed in touch with me every day through phone calls and emails, allowing me to trust in the safety and well-being of my children.
Sheri went above and beyond by working with an Applied Behavior Analyst (ABA) to implement a reward-based parenting technique specifically tailored to my children's needs. She sought advice from my son's Psychologist and Therapist to better understand how to handle him. Furthermore, she collaborated with my youngest son's Therapist to help with his anger related to the divorce. Sheri used all this knowledge to create an after-school program that not only focused on their homework and activities but also allowed them some free time. Additionally, she managed to keep the home clean, prepare lunches, and make dinner. She always made sure to inform me about the day's events, review the children's homework, and discuss upcoming activities before leaving. Remarkably, my children's behavior has significantly improved. My eldest son is doing better in school and is much calmer, while my youngest son's anger levels have decreased. I wholeheartedly credit Sheri's love and care for their positive transformation.
Not only did Sheri excel as a nanny, but she also took on the role of a personal assistant, going beyond her duties. She assisted with various tasks such as helping me find and move into a new apartment, meeting with realtors, and shopping for furniture and other necessities. Given that the boys primarily live with me, Sheri played a crucial role in creating a comfortable and safe living space. When faced with difficulties regarding the landlord, she proactively gathered information from the town and county, helping build my case to move out of the residence and even attending court on my behalf. As the year progressed, the need arose to hire additional help for some nights during the week and weekends. Sheri took charge of the entire hiring process, from placing ads and screening phone replies to conducting interviews and negotiating salaries. Although she believed I made the final decision, it was truly her exceptional judgment that helped find someone who shared her genuine care and devotion towards the children.
Unsurprisingly, Sheri became more than just a nanny; she became my personal assistant. She efficiently managed my daily routine, reminded me of appointments, and took control of tasks, allowing me to focus on my new job. It's going to be a challenge finding someone who can fulfill all of these responsibilities. Sheri has proven herself to be extremely reliable and dependable, effortlessly handling daily tasks while remaining flexible when adjustments are needed. She actively seeks advice from others and translates it into effective action. She also offers sound advice herself but never acts without seeking approval first. This past year has been challenging for my family, but Sheri's presence has made it easier. From making lunches and dinner to doing the children's laundry, keeping the apartment clean, and grocery shopping, she has taken care of all the daily chores. Moreover, she has been a source of comfort, guidance, and occasionally, discipline for my children. She is truly remarkable, and I wholeheartedly recommend her.”
“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, loving, and nurturing environment. I feel incredibly lucky to have found Sheri to care for my kids. She has been an absolute blessing. Several years ago, my husband and I interviewed Sheri through a reputable Nanny Agency in Grace when our children were 6 months, 3 years, and 6 years old. We needed someone to watch them three days a week, for around 10 hours per day. Right away, we could tell she would fit in perfectly with our family.

Sheri possesses a remarkable ability to provide warmth, encouragement, and comfort to my children, drawing upon her own inner child. She often joins them on the floor, meeting them at their level, and they thrive off the playful energy and undivided attention she offers.

Throughout the eight years she's been with us, Sheri has adjusted her interactions with the children as they grew. She adeptly handled various situations such as illness, diaper changes, and meal preparation for my six-month-old. Additionally, she demonstrated incredible patience and provided the guidance my Grace child needed when he was diagnosed with ADHD two years into Sheri's employment. She even embraced a special diet, eliminating foods with preservatives, artificial colors, and flavors, to support his needs. When he required therapy sessions, she willingly drove him. Sheri has also played a vital role in helping my daughter develop self-confidence and a positive outlook as she enters her pre-teen years. From offering hairstyle suggestions to helping her choose the right clothes, Sheri has been an incredible mentor.

“Any family that chooses to register with the Nanny Agency in Grace, known as ABC, will consider themselves lucky to have Sheri as their caregiver. We first encountered Sheri when she was Holly's Nanny, and since then, our daughter Rachel has become great friends with Holly. In fact, they have sleepovers quite often! It was Sheri who took care of the children during these occasions, and we always had complete faith that Rachel was in excellent hands with her. Sheri's reliability and sense of responsibility were unmatched, and Rachel adored her for her unwavering energy and enthusiasm.”
“I first came across Sheri when I signed up with the highly esteemed Nanny Agency in Grace. At that time, my older daughter, Alesandra, was just two years old and my youngest, Danielle, had recently been born. Sheri initially started out as a temporary nanny, filling in for Louise during her days off or when she went on vacation. This arrangement lasted for approximately a year until Louise decided to leave her position, prompting me to offer Sheri a full-time nanny role. And I couldn't have made a better choice!
Sheri proved to be an exceptional nanny, displaying an abundance of care, patience, and helpfulness towards my children. My girls eagerly anticipated Sheri's arrival each day, knowing they were in for a memorable time. She effortlessly handled all the typical nanny duties, from changing diapers and feeding to engaging them in playful activities. She even went the extra mile by assisting with grocery shopping and running light errands. I had complete trust in Sheri, so much so that I allowed her to drive with my precious children in her car. She seamlessly became an integral part of our family, joining us on vacations aboard our boat and at the beach during sun-kissed summers.
However, as fate would have it, circumstances changed when my mother decided to permanently move in with us. With her presence, the need for a full-time nanny diminished. It was bittersweet to bid farewell to Sheri, as not only was she an exemplary caregiver but she was also an extraordinary person all around. The memories she created during her time with us will forever hold a special place in our hearts. I am truly grateful that Sheri became a part of our lives, and I sincerely believe my family was fortunate to have had her by our side.”
“I have had the pleasure of knowing Sheri for the past 24 years and she has become my closest and most treasured friend. It is impossible not to fall in love with her, as it seems to come with the territory of knowing her. She possesses a truly remarkable and singular character. When it comes to nurturing children or anyone for that matter, Sheri is one of the most selfless and affectionate individuals I have ever encountered. There is nothing she wouldn't do for you, regardless of how well-acquainted she is with you. Having grown up with a single parent, Sheri has assumed the role of helping raise her younger brother and sister, which she does with an exceptional dedication. Moreover, she also devotes considerable time to her niece, who is now 11 years old. Let me assure you, her commitment is simply awe-inspiring! Sheri's presence in the lives of the three children she currently cares for is profound, and it is evident that they hold a deep affection for her.

In fact, she spends every moment actively engaged with them, whether it be creating crafts, painting pictures, playing games, or taking them to the nearby park. She refuses to rely on videos as a means of entertainment; rather, she ensures that they are constantly immersed in meaningful activities.

“Sheri is an exceptional individual whom I have relied upon numerous times, and without fail, she has always been there for me. Her sincerity and honesty are unmatched, making her one of the most positive individuals I have ever encountered. When it comes to finding a nanny through the reputable ABC's Nanny Agency in Grace, there is no question in my mind that Sheri would be my top choice. She has been a part of my children's lives since they were born, and they affectionately call her Aunt Sheri. I have observed her interactions with my kids and entrusted their well-being to her.

“I had the pleasure of meeting Sheri while working with one of my clients. At that time, I was asked to provide a behavioral consultation and parent training for this particular family, and Sheri was the nanny hired through the esteemed Nanny Agency in Grace for the family's two boys, aged 8 and 11. These boys presented with incredibly challenging needs and behaviors, and to complicate matters, their parents were going through a divorce but were still required to live together for the sake of supervision. The household was in disarray, the parents were unable to reach a common ground on goals or methods pertaining to the boys, and there were even involvement from DYFS while the mother's mental health was questionable.
Amidst this extremely difficult time, it is my firm belief that Sheri acted as the stabilizing force that prevented this family from completely unraveling. Sheri remained the constant in a sea of ever-changing variables. She maintained her composure and assertiveness when dealing with both the parents and the boys. Despite facing unreasonable and constantly evolving demands, she efficiently managed her time. Her relationship with the boys mirrored that of a parental figure - she showed them immense love while also enforcing firm boundaries when necessary. Sheri had the innate ability to engage in playful moments and share laughter with the boys, all while ensuring clarity in their limits and expectations. The boys clearly held Sheri in high regard, seeking her guidance and support.
Sheri's contribution to the behavioral modification of these boys was invaluable. I had the liberty to freely communicate with her, extract information, and brainstorm and collaborate with her in her own home. She willingly offered whatever assistance was needed to aid the boys. Once we had established the goals and devised plans, Sheri excelled in implementing the strategies. While dealing with a child on the autistic spectrum and another inundated with anger and resentment, constantly seeking negative attention, Sheri had to confront violence, cursing, yelling, personal insults, disobedience, and the daily weight of an exhausting schedule. Additionally, she had to ensure that their homework was completed and that they were fed and showered in a timely manner. Every aspect of her work was a battle, yet she managed to remain on top of the newly implemented behavior systems and the guidelines laid down for the family. Sheri adeptly incorporated our discussions, actively participated in family meetings and training sessions, and continued to progress despite the countless challenges she faced.
The parents heavily relied on Sheri during their own personal struggles. Remarkably, she was able to maintain her professionalism and personal integrity throughout. She did not take things personally and accurately assessed the situation for what it was. Her ultimate goal was to cultivate a positive environment and establish a reliable structure for the boys to thrive in. To summarize, Sheri is an exceptional individual who embodies efficiency, reliability, maturity, quick thinking, creativity, patience, professionalism, and friendliness. She is truly an asset to any family, and I wholeheartedly recommend her without reservation!”
“I strongly believe that Sheri would be a valuable addition to any family affiliated with ABC's Nanny Agency in Grace. Previously, she served as the nanny for one of my young patients, where she showcased exceptional expertise in handling the child's challenging emotions and behaviors. When the child was angry, Sheri skillfully calmed him down by implementing firm boundaries, clear consequences, and even injecting humor when appropriate. She effectively communicated the rationale behind her disciplinary measures and engaged in open discussions about intricate social situations that posed difficulties for the child. Additionally, Sheri effortlessly fostered a deep bond with the child through her affectionate and playful nature.
Furthermore, Sheri extended her assistance to the working parents, not only by taking care of their child but also by providing support with various household chores. These tasks encompassed everything from grocery shopping to managing schedules, organizing the household, and even offering guidance on personal finance matters. Lastly, Sheri proved to be exceptionally responsible and reliable when it came to maintaining the child's complex schedule.”
“As a second grade regular education classroom teacher, I had regular communication with Sheri who served as the after school caretaker for a specific student in my class. Sheri acted as a valuable link between the parents and myself to ensure consistency and structure for the child. I consistently observed Sheri's responsible behavior in picking up the child every day and her genuine interest in knowing about his day. She was quick to provide praise and positive reinforcement when necessary, but also addressed appropriate consequences when needed. In both scenarios, it was clear that her caring nature shone through and the child responded with respect and understanding. Moreover, I have witnessed Sheri positively influencing the child academically and socially, aiding in his success at school. She goes the extra mile to ensure that he completes homework assignments on time and encourages him to listen and follow directions when leaving school. Sheri has been an integral part of the support system for this second-grade student, working alongside myself and the parents as an important team member. I have truly valued our collaboration throughout the school year, and I am confident that she will excel as a nanny through ABC's Nanny Agency in Grace.”
“I initially established a connection with Sheri when she first joined as a caregiver for my student, Ryan. Given her experience as a former Nanny of 6 children, a Nursery School teacher for several years, and now as a Nanny through the Nanny Agency in Grace, I firmly believe that Sheri possesses all the necessary qualities to excel as a remarkable Nanny. One notable example is how she consistently brings Ryan to school and eagerly engages in discussions about his day and progress. She actively participates in Ryan's daily activities at school and has even volunteered to accompany us on field trips. It was during these excursions that I personally witnessed Sheri's exceptional interactions with children. She effectively balanced firmness and compassion, and her ability to engage and entertain the children was truly admirable. Sheri naturally assumes a leadership role, capturing the attention and garnering excellent responses from the children. After our first successful field trip, I felt reassured knowing that she would be assisting with another trip for Ryan's class. Sheri demonstrated competence and responsibility when entrusted with the children, even taking on the role of a driver for multiple field trips. Her driving skills were impeccable, safely transporting three to four students to and from the destinations. I am equally impressed with Sheri's dedication in assisting Ryan with his learning journey. She has diligently worked with him to recognize colors and letters, and I have witnessed firsthand how her efforts have significantly contributed to Ryan's progress throughout the school year. Apart from these qualities, Sheri's effective communication skills play a crucial role in her childcare responsibilities. She effortlessly connects with both children and adults, demonstrating her ability to be a proficient communicator. Additionally, Sheri maintains a presentable appearance and ensures that the children understand the importance of personal care. It is with utmost confidence that I write this letter of recommendation for Sheri. She is an outstanding Nanny, and any family would be fortunate to have her as part of their lives.”
