Oxbow Nanny Sheri's References

“I cannot emphasize enough how wonderful Sheri has been as a nanny in Oxbow. She initially joined our family for a month during a challenging and stressful period, and not only did she agree to stay longer, but she consistently went above and beyond to make the past year easier for all of us, especially my two sons. Despite the ups and downs we experienced as a family, Sheri remained a loving and positive presence. The boys quickly formed a strong attachment to her, and she never let them down, providing both warmth and structure while helping them with their homework, which can be particularly challenging for one of my sons who has a learning disability. I trust Sheri implicitly to keep me informed about their lives and relay any important information from their teachers. In addition to these invaluable qualities, Sheri has an exceptional gift for organization, which has been a savior for both the boys and me. With numerous appointments and conflicting activities to manage, she has handled the task with ease. On top of that, she doesn't waste any time while the boys are at school, taking on various projects for me, such as running errands and researching specific queries and potential purchases. (Speaking of purchases, Sheri is also an expert at finding bargains and has been extremely mindful of our budget!) Her efforts on my behalf have saved me from tremendous stress and ensured that I meet deadlines that would have otherwise been missed.”

“I want to provide some context about why we hired Sheri as a nanny in Oxbow, as well as our family situation. As a stay-at-home Dad, I needed to return to work due to my divorce from my wife and our impending move to a new residence in September. Initially, we needed someone full-time in August and planned to transition to part-time in September when the children started school. It was challenging to parent my eldest son who has behavioral and emotional problems, and the divorce was taking a toll on both children. Despite all of this, Sheri accepted the position and immediately jumped in to provide structure for the children during this time of transition. She effortlessly handled daily errands, doctor's appointments, school pickups, and maintained open communication with me through phone and email. I never had to worry about the safety of my children under her care. Sheri went above and beyond by collaborating with an Applied Behavior Analyst (ABA) to implement a reward-based parenting technique to help my children. She sought advice from my son's psychologist and therapist to better understand how to handle him. Additionally, she coordinated with my youngest son's therapist to address his anger stemming from the divorce. With all this knowledge, Sheri created and implemented an excellent after-school program that covered homework, activities, and free time. She also managed to keep the house clean, prepare lunches, and make dinner. Before leaving each day, she always updated me on the day's events, reviewed homework, and discussed upcoming events. Thanks to Sheri's love and care, my children's behavior has noticeably improved. My eldest son is doing better in school and is more composed, while my youngest son has greatly reduced his anger level and is behaving more appropriately. Sheri also went beyond her role as a nanny and took on tasks as a personal assistant for both my wife and me. From assisting with the move to a new apartment by meeting with realtors and furniture shopping, she ensured that my boys had a comfortable and safe living space. When issues arose with the landlord, she even took the lead in gathering information and attending court to help us move out. As the year progressed, we needed to hire additional help for some evenings and weekends. Sheri took charge of the hiring process, including placing ads, screening replies, conducting interviews, and negotiating salaries. I let her believe that I made the final decision, but truthfully, it was her choice all along. Not surprisingly, she found someone with a similar level of dedication and genuine love for the children. Apart from childcare, Sheri seamlessly took on the role of a personal assistant, managing errands, daily routines, appointment reminders, and allowing me to focus on my new job. Replacing Sheri will undoubtedly be a challenging task. She is reliable, dependable, and capable of handling a wide range of tasks. Daily responsibilities come naturally to her, and she readily adjusts when needed. She values input from others and effectively translates advice into action. While she does offer sound advice, she always seeks approval before taking action. Throughout this difficult year for our family, Sheri has made it easier by taking charge of daily chores such as making lunches, preparing dinner, doing the children's laundry, maintaining a clean apartment, and grocery shopping. Most importantly, she has been a source of comfort, guidance, and occasional discipline for my children. She is truly remarkable, and without hesitation, I highly recommend Sheri as a nanny in Oxbow representing ABC Nanny Source.”

“One of the most important decisions parents make is choosing a child care provider who can ensure their children are in a safe, loving, and nurturing environment. I feel incredibly fortunate to have found Sheri to take care of my children in Oxbow. She has been an absolute blessing. In March 1997, my husband and I interviewed Sheri through a nanny agency to be our nanny in Oxbow for our three kids. At that time, my children were 6 months, 3 years, and 6 years old. We needed someone to look after them for 3 days a week, around 10 hours a day. From our very first meeting, we knew Sheri would be a perfect fit for our family.

She skillfully took care of my 6-month-old, handling various situations like illnesses, diaper changes, and meal preparation.

During visits to water parks and the North Dakota shore, she remained vigilant, ensuring our children's safety while giving my husband and me the chance to enjoy some time on our own.

“In December 1999, we were introduced to Sheri as the nanny for our daughter, Holly, in our neighborhood of Oxbow. Holly and Rachel quickly became close friends, often having sleepovers at each other's homes. Sheri would usually be at Holly's house, taking care of the children while we were away. We had complete trust in Sheri's ability to look after Rachel. She consistently exhibited dependability and responsibility. Rachel grew very fond of Sheri due to her vibrant energy and enthusiasm.”

“In 1988, I first met Sheri through my dedicated nanny who also happened to be her cousin. At that time, my older daughter Alesandra was two years old, and my youngest, Danielle, had just been born. Sheri began filling in for my main nanny Louise, covering her days off and vacations, among other occasions. This continued throughout 1989 until Louise eventually had to leave her position. Consequently, I made the decision to hire Sheri as my full-time nanny in Oxbow. Her qualities as a caretaker were exceptional - she exhibited profound compassion, extraordinary patience, and unwavering helpfulness. Both of my daughters eagerly anticipated her arrival each day. Sheri seamlessly fulfilled her duties, from diaper changes and feeding to engaging in playtime. Moreover, she willingly assisted me with grocery shopping and light errands. I wholeheartedly trusted her, even entrusting her with driving my children in her car. During summer breaks, she even joined us on our boating trips and beach vacations. However, as my mother decided to move in with us permanently, the need for a full-time nanny diminished. It was a bittersweet moment bidding farewell to Sheri. She was an exceptional individual in every aspect, and I am grateful that my family had the privilege of having her as a valued part of our lives.”
