“I want to begin by providing some context regarding the reasons why we hired a Wake County Nanny and our family situation. As a divorced father, I had to return to work after being a stay-at-home Dad. Additionally, I was in the process of moving to a new residence in September. Our initial plan was to hire someone full-time for the month of August and then transition to part-time in September, as the children would be attending school. It's important to note that my eldest son has behavioral and emotional difficulties, which have posed challenges in parenting him. The divorce had also taken a toll on both of my children, resulting in anger within the household. Despite being aware of all these circumstances, Sheri accepted the position and seamlessly jumped right in! During this transitional period, Sheri offered valuable structure to the children. She effortlessly handled the everyday logistics of running errands, scheduling doctor's appointments, and picking up the kids from school. She maintained regular communication with me through phone calls and emails, ensuring that I never had to worry about the safety of my children. Sheri collaborated with an Applied Behavior Analyst (ABA) to implement a reward-based parenting approach that proved helpful for my children. She also sought advice from my son's Psychologist and Therapist to gain a better understanding of how to handle him. Additionally, she worked closely with my youngest son's Therapist to address his anger related to the divorce. Sheri used all this information to develop and execute an effective after-school program that incorporated homework, extracurricular activities, and free time. She even found time to maintain a clean home, prepare lunches, and cook dinner. Before leaving for the day, she always took the time to update me on the day's events, review homework, and discuss upcoming plans. Thanks to Sheri's love and care, my children's behavior has remarkably improved. My eldest son is now doing much better in school and displays a calmer demeanor. Likewise, my youngest son's anger has subsided, and he behaves much better. I attribute a great deal of these positive changes to Sheri! Moreover, Sheri went above and beyond her role as a Wake County Nanny and also took on responsibilities as a personal assistant for both my wife and me. She assisted with our transition to a new apartment, handling tasks such as meeting with realtors and shopping for furniture and other essentials. Since the boys primarily live with me, she played a significant role in creating a comfortable and safe living environment. When I faced difficulties with the landlord, she took charge and diligently gathered relevant information from the town and county to build a strong case for our departure. She even accompanied me to court. Throughout the year, we also needed to hire childcare assistance for some weeknights and weekends. Sheri placed advertisements, screened responses, conducted interviews, and negotiated salaries. Although I let her believe that I made the final decision, truthfully, it was her choice! She unsurprisingly found someone who shares her passion, care, and love for the children. Besides, she assumed the role of a personal assistant, assisting with running errands, managing my daily routine, reminding me of appointments, and taking charge of tasks, allowing me to focus on adapting to my new job. I anticipate it will be challenging to find a replacement for her. Sheri is an exceptionally reliable and dependable individual who can handle a wide range of tasks assigned to her. She effortlessly manages daily responsibilities and displays flexibility when adjustments are necessary. She is receptive to advice from others and can readily translate those insights into effective actions. While she offers valuable advice, she always seeks approval before acting. In what has been a difficult year for my family, Sheri has made it easier by skillfully assuming daily chores such as preparing lunches, cooking dinner, doing the children's laundry, maintaining cleanliness of the apartment, and grocery shopping. Even more importantly, she has been a source of comfort, guidance, and occasional discipline for my children. Without a doubt, she is truly remarkable, and I wholeheartedly recommend her.”

“Wake County Nanny: Making one of the most significant decisions in a parent's life involves selecting a child care provider who can offer peace of mind by ensuring that their children are in a secure, affectionate, and nurturing environment. I consider myself incredibly fortunate to have come across Sheri, who has been an absolute blessing in caring for my children. This discovery took place back in March 1997, when my husband and I interviewed Sheri through a reputable nanny agency. At the time, our children were aged 6 months, 3 years, and 6 years, and we required someone to look after them three days a week for approximately 10 hours each day. Right away, we could tell that she would seamlessly blend into our family dynamic. She effortlessly established a connection by sitting down with our three-year-old and reading a book together, which immediately captivated my child's attention. Sheri possesses the unique ability to provide an atmosphere of warmth, encouragement, and comfort to my children by tapping into her inner child. It's common to find her sitting on the floor with the kids, ensuring she's at their eye level. The children thrive off her playful spirit and undivided attention. Sheri enthusiastically participates in various childhood games like hide-and-seek, Chutes and Ladders, and cards. We often joke about her enduring enthusiasm while playing the tenth consecutive game of Candy Land! Throughout the remarkable eight years Sheri has been with us, she has adapted her interactions with the children to suit their changing needs as they grew older. She adeptly handled various situations involving my six-month-old, including illnesses, diaper changes, and meal preparation. In 1999, my child at Spout Springs was diagnosed with ADHD. Sheri provided him with the extra patience and guidance he required to address his specific needs. She diligently adhered to a special diet we implemented, free of preservatives, artificial colors, and flavors. When he required therapy sessions, she willingly chauffeured him to the therapist whenever necessary. She even assisted my daughter in developing into a confident and positive pre-teen by offering guidance on hairstyles, clothing choices, and general advice. Sheri is truly an exceptional and dynamic individual who has an immense love for children. The children themselves can attest to her remarkable presence in their lives."peanut butter and jelly kisses"Wake County Nanny: The playground of endless fun, which is Sheri's reference to getting a kiss on each cheek. Sheri is an incredibly reliable and dependable nanny who never fails to arrive on time each day. Her ability to think for herself without requiring repeated instructions makes her both flexible and efficient. In addition to tending to regular household chores such as laundry, emptying the dishwasher, light vacuuming, and tidying up, Sheri goes above and beyond to make sure everything is taken care of. She effortlessly makes nutritious school lunches, handles grocery shopping, cooks delicious dinners, and bakes mouthwatering desserts. Not only that, but Sheri embraces opportunities to make additional efforts, like cleaning out the old food from the refrigerator and wiping down the shelves to maintain a cleaner overall appearance while unloading groceries. Sheri is incredibly involved in the children's activities and takes proactive steps to ensure their happiness and safety. For instance, during the summer, she takes them for swimming lessons, even jumping in the deep end to provide reassurance and support to my son as he overcomes his fear of diving off the diving board. She doesn't just limit her involvement to leisure activities; she attends their school plays and concerts, drives them to and from scouting events, and aids them with their homework when they face challenges. The playground that Sheri takes the children to is not just a physical space, but a place where they can laugh, play, and create memories that will last a lifetime."Sheri's Playground"Sheri, our amazing Wake County Nanny, always chooses the safest playground in town for the children under her care. With its open spaces, she can easily keep an eye on all the kids at once, giving the neighborhood mothers great peace of mind. They often tell me how lucky we are to have Sheri with us. She is not only competent but also enthusiastic in her role. During times of childhood illness, Sheri goes above and beyond by providing nursing care. If necessary, she takes the children to the doctor and ensures they receive their medication on time. I distinctly remember when my son battled pneumonia; Sheri stayed by his side, tending to his needs with utmost dedication. To prevent boredom, she engages the children in restful and quiet games. Even though we have been fortunate with good health, Sheri has confidently handled various ailments such as colds, flu, conjunctivitis, ear infections, stomach troubles, and post-surgery recovery. Sheri's support extends beyond regular childcare as she has assisted us during family vacations. In fact, she took charge of planning our entire trip to Florida, providing us with a detailed itinerary of activities. Sheri's knowledge of the Disney theme parks was invaluable, ensuring we made the most of our time there. During visits to water parks and the shore, my husband and I could count on her to keep a watchful eye on the children. This afforded us the opportunity to have some much-needed alone time without worrying about their safety. In summary, Sheri has been an absolute blessing to our family. With her, we have enjoyed countless hours of worry-free childcare. She is not only reliable and dynamic but also creative and fun-loving. Sheri brings out the best in our children and encourages their learning in innovative ways. Thanks to her positive influence, our kids are growing up as confident and secure individuals.”

“In December 1999, we were introduced to Sheri, who became our trusted Wake County Nanny for Holly. Our daughter, Rachel, and Holly have a strong bond and often have sleepovers together. Whenever Sheri was at Holly's house to look after the kids, we felt completely at ease knowing that Rachel was in capable hands. Sheri consistently proved herself to be reliable and responsible. Rachel grew fond of Sheri because of her vibrant energy and unwavering enthusiasm.”

“I first met Sheri in 1988, thanks to my full-time Nanny who happened to be her cousin. At that time, my older daughter Alesandra was two years old, and my youngest daughter Danielle had just been born. Sheri initially started working as a substitute on the days when my Nanny, Louise, needed time off or was on vacation. This arrangement continued throughout 1989 until Louise had to leave her position, and I made the decision to hire Sheri as our full-time nanny for Wake County. As our Wake County Nanny, Sheri was simply amazing - she was incredibly caring, patient, and always ready to lend a helping hand! My daughters were always excited about her arrival each day. Sheri had a great rapport with them as well as with me. From changing diapers to feeding and playing, she did it all. She even assisted with food shopping and running small errands. I had complete trust in her, even when she drove with my children in her car. In fact, she even joined us on our boat and accompanied us to the beach during the summer holidays. However, as circumstances changed and my mother moved in with us permanently, I no longer required a full-time nanny. We were truly saddened to bid farewell to Sheri. She was an exceptional individual, and I feel fortunate that my family had the opportunity to have her as part of our lives.”

“Sheri has been my closest and most cherished friend for 24 years since we first met as Wake County Nannies. Knowing Sheri means adoring her, a feeling that is simply inherent. She possesses an extraordinary and unparalleled essence. When it comes to nurturing children or anyone else, Sheri exemplifies selflessness and displays an abundance of affection. There is no limit to what she would do for you, regardless of her familiarity with you. As the daughter of a single parent, Sheri played an integral role in raising her younger siblings alongside her devoted mother. Additionally, she dedicated substantial time to her niece, showcasing her incredible qualities. Sheri's inclination for taking care of her younger siblings and niece was not solely a responsibility, but a genuine source of enjoyment, which she continues to experience with her 11-year-old niece. Witnessing her bond with the three children she currently cares for, I can confidently declare that they have an immense love for her. Sheri never perceives her job as a mere task; instead, she savors every moment she spends as a Wake County Nanny. She devotes all her time to these children, engaging them in various activities. Unlike those who would simply put on a video and leave them be, Sheri actively participates in crafts, painting, games, and outings to the local park. Although I do not have children of my own, I can attest that Sheri is one of the select few individuals I would trust wholeheartedly with their lives. Any family would be extraordinarily fortunate to have Sheri as their child's caregiver.”

“Sheri, our trusted Wake County Nanny, has always been there for me without hesitation. Her sincerity and honesty make her one of the most positive individuals I know. If I were to ever hire a Wake County Nanny, there would be no one else I would want but her. Sheri has been a part of my children's lives since they were born, and they affectionately call her Aunt Sheri. I have witnessed her interactions with my kids and entrusted their safety to her. From caring for them when I'm away to joining us on family vacations, Sheri's natural caretaking abilities shine through, perhaps inherited from her close relationship with her own mother. She embodies qualities of patience, understanding, and playfulness, making her a perfect fit for the nanny role. I have also witnessed Sheri's interactions with the three children she previously nannied for. She skillfully strikes a balance between being their caregiver and their friend. We often have play dates together, visit parks during the summer, and engage in various fun activities. The children she works for adore her, and she reciprocates that love.

“I had the opportunity to meet Sheri, the Wake County Nanny, in the fall of 2006 while working with a client. My role was to provide behavioral consultation and parent training to a family through the Division of Youth and Family Services. Sheri had been hired as the nanny for the family's two boys, aged 8 and 11. These boys presented significant challenges in terms of their behavior and needs. Additionally, the parents were going through a divorce but were forced to live together for supervision purposes. The household was in chaos, with the parents unable to agree on goals or methods for the boys, and the involvement of DYFS due to concerns about the mother's mental health. Throughout this incredibly difficult time, Sheri served as the anchor that prevented the family from falling apart completely. Amidst constantly changing variables, Sheri remained calm and assertive with both the parents and the boys. She expertly managed her time despite unreasonable demands and adapted to the ever-changing circumstances. Sheri's relationship with the boys mirrored that of a parent, as she was both exceptionally loving and firm when necessary. She was able to engage in play and laughter with them while setting clear boundaries and expectations. The boys adored her and sought her guidance and support. Sheri's invaluable role extended to the boys' behavior modification. I could easily contact her, gather information, and collaborate with her at her home. She willingly offered whatever assistance was needed for the boys. Once I developed the goals and plans, Sheri successfully implemented the strategies. One of the boys was on the autism spectrum, while the other harbored intense anger and resentment, constantly seeking negative attention. Sheri navigated through violence, cursing, yelling, personal insults, disobedience, and the overwhelming weight of the boys' demanding schedules, all while ensuring homework was completed and they were fed and bathed at a reasonable time. Sheri not only upheld the new behavior systems and guidelines we established but also incorporated all our discussions, attended family meetings and trainings, and forged ahead despite the challenges she faced. Moreover, Sheri became a lifeline for the parents during their personal struggles. Despite this, she maintained her professionalism and personal integrity, never taking things personally and accurately assessing the situation. Her unwavering goal was to foster a positive environment and establish a reliable structure for the boys. In summary, Sheri is an incredibly efficient, reliable, mature, quick-thinking, creative, patient, professional, and friendly individual. Without reservation, I confidently recommend her as an asset to any family!”

Her ability to soothe his anger was impressive, implementing firm boundaries, clear consequences, and injecting humor when appropriate. Furthermore, Sheri effectively explained her disciplinary actions, engaging in meaningful conversations about complex social situations that troubled the child. She also nurtured a deep connection by demonstrating affection and playfulness towards him. Not only did Sheri excel in childcare, but she also supported the child's working parents by assisting with various household chores. Alongside shopping, her contributions extended to scheduling, household organization, and even personal finance tasks. Additionally, Sheri proved to be dependable and responsible in maintaining the child's intricate schedule. In conclusion, Sheri's outstanding abilities make her an invaluable asset to any family.”

“As an Elementary School teacher in Wake County, I had the opportunity to regularly communicate with Sheri throughout the 2006-2007 school year. Sheri served as the after school caretaker for a specific student in my second grade regular education classroom. She played a crucial role in maintaining consistency and structure for this child by acting as a liaison between the parents and myself. I consistently observed Sheri's responsible approach in picking up the child each day and her genuine interest in knowing about his day. She effectively used praise and positive reinforcement when necessary, while appropriately addressing consequences when required. Her caring nature was evident in both situations, and the child responded with respect and understanding. Through her dedicated work as a Wake County Nanny, I also witnessed Sheri's positive impact on the student's academic and social success in school. She ensured that he completed homework assignments on time and encouraged him to listen and follow directions when leaving school. Sheri truly functioned as an essential team member, collaborating with myself and the parents to provide support to this second grade student. I genuinely appreciated the opportunity to work with her in this capacity throughout the school year.”

“As a former Nanny of 6 children and a Nursery School teacher, I had the pleasure of working with Sheri when she joined as a caregiver for my student, Ryan. From the start, it was evident that Sheri possessed all the qualities needed to be an exceptional Wake County Nanny. One of her responsibilities was bringing Ryan to school every day, and she always showed a genuine interest in his day and progress. Sheri strived to be actively involved in Ryan's daily activities at school and even volunteered to assist on field trips. It was during these trips that I witnessed firsthand Sheri's remarkable interactions with children. She was nurturing yet firm, and her ability to connect with kids was natural. Sheri didn't demand attention; she exuded leadership, and the children responded wonderfully to her. After observing Sheri's performance on our first field trip together, I felt confident and at ease knowing she would be assisting on future trips with Ryan's class. She proved to be capable and responsible, especially when acting as a driver for multiple students. Sheri consistently demonstrated safe driving practices and transported three to four children to and from the field trips without any issues. Furthermore, I was impressed by Sheri's dedication to helping Ryan with his learning efforts. She worked diligently with him on learning colors and letters, and her hard work paid off as Ryan made notable progress throughout the school year. Aside from these commendable qualities, Sheri possesses other important characteristics that are crucial in caretaking. She is an excellent communicator who knows how to effectively engage with both children and adults. Additionally, Sheri takes pride in her appearance and promotes the significance of personal care to the children she looks after. In conclusion, I am highly confident and comfortable in writing this letter of recommendation for Sheri. She is an exceptional Nanny with a genuine passion for her work, and any family would be fortunate to have her as part of their household.”
