La Grande Nanny Sheri's References

“I cannot express enough praise for Sheri, our nanny in La Grande. Initially, she joined our family for just a month during a particularly challenging and overwhelming period. However, not only did she willingly extend her stay, but she consistently exceeded our expectations in her efforts to make the past year easier for all of us, especially my two sons. Despite the ups and downs we've faced as a family, Sheri has remained a loving and positive presence throughout. She quickly formed deep connections with our children and has never let them down, providing them with warmth and care while also enforcing necessary structure and discipline. From the moment the boys leave school until dinnertime, Sheri is there for them, helping them with almost all of their homework (which is no easy task considering one of our sons has a learning disability). I wholeheartedly trust her to keep me updated on their lives and provide me with any crucial updates from their teachers. Sheri possesses an invaluable gift for organization that has greatly benefited both the boys and myself. With a higher-than-average number of appointments and conflicting activities to manage, she has shown exceptional skill in coordinating and keeping track of everything. Additionally, when the boys are at school, Sheri stays proactive and takes on various tasks for me, ranging from running errands to researching obscure questions and potential purchases. I must mention her talent for finding bargains, as she has diligently safeguarded our budget better than I ever could. Her contributions have alleviated a significant amount of stress for me and have ensured that I meet deadlines that might have otherwise been missed. Sheri truly goes above and beyond the role of a nanny in La Grande. Her unwavering dedication and exceptional qualities have had a tremendous impact on our family, and I am endlessly grateful for her presence in our lives.”

“To provide some context about the hiring of our nanny in La Grande and the situation in our family, I must begin by explaining that I had been a stay-at-home dad. However, due to my divorce from my wife and the upcoming move to a new residence in September, I needed to return to work. Initially, we were searching for a full-time nanny for the month of August, with the plan to transition to part-time once the children started school. One challenge we faced was that my eldest son had behavior and emotional issues, making parenting him a difficult task. The divorce had also affected both of my children, resulting in heightened emotions and anger. Despite these circumstances, Sheri accepted the position and dove right in. During this period of transition, she introduced structure into the children's lives. Sheri effortlessly managed the day-to-day logistics, including errands, doctor's appointments, and school pickups. She kept me updated daily through phone calls and emails, providing reassurance about the safety of my children. Sheri collaborated with an Applied Behavior Analyst (ABA) to incorporate a reward-based parenting technique to assist my children. Additionally, she sought guidance from my son's psychologist and therapist to gain insight into handling his unique needs. Recognizing that my youngest son also required support for his anger stemming from the divorce, Sheri coordinated with his therapist as well. Utilizing this knowledge, she devised an after-school program that encompassed homework completion, attending activities, and allowing for free time. Remarkably, she still managed to maintain a tidy home, prepare lunches and dinners, all while making time to discuss the day's events, review homework, and discuss upcoming plans with me before leaving. As a result of Sheri's love and care, my children's behavior has significantly improved. My eldest son is now more successful in school and displays greater calmness, while my youngest son has overcome his anger issues and exhibits improved behavior. Alongside her duties as a nanny, Sheri went above and beyond, assuming the role of a personal assistant. She assisted my wife and me with tasks outside of her direct responsibilities. For example, she actively participated in our search for a new apartment by meeting with realtors and assisting in furniture shopping. Since the boys primarily live with me, she played a pivotal role in creating a comfortable and secure living environment. When I encountered difficulties with the landlord, Sheri took the initiative, gathering information from the town and county to support our case, and even accompanied me to court. As the year progressed, we found the need to hire additional help for evenings and weekends. Sheri took charge by placing ads, screening calls, conducting interviews, and negotiating salaries. Although I let her believe that I made the final decision, it was truly her exceptional judgment that led us to hire individuals who shared her level of care and love for the children. She seamlessly managed all of these responsibilities while also assuming the role of my personal assistant, organizing my daily routine, reminding me of appointments, and taking charge of various tasks, allowing me to focus on my new job. It will undoubtedly be challenging to find someone who can fill Sheri's shoes. She is a reliable and dependable individual who handles daily tasks with ease and readily adapts when adjustments are needed. Sheri is receptive to advice from others and efficiently translates it into effective action. She is also capable of providing sound advice herself, but always seeks approval before implementing anything. Throughout this difficult year for my family, Sheri has been a source of comfort, guidance, and occasional discipline for my children. She is truly exceptional, and I wholeheartedly recommend her as a nanny in La Grande representing ABC Nanny Source.”

“One of the most important decisions parents have to make is selecting a childcare provider who can ensure their children are in a safe, nurturing, and loving environment. I feel incredibly fortunate to have found Sheri as a nanny in La Grande for my kids. She has been an absolute blessing in our lives. In March 1997, my husband and I interviewed Sheri through a nanny agency to take care of our three children. At the time, our kids were 6 months, 3 years, and 6 years old. We needed someone to watch them for three days a week, around 10 hours per day. Right from the start, we knew she would be a perfect fit for our family. She quickly formed a bond with our three-year-old, reading books together as he sat comfortably on her lap. Sheri has a natural ability to provide warmth, support, and reassurance to my children by tapping into her own inner child. She frequently gets down on the floor to interact with them at their level, and they absolutely thrive under her playful and attentive nature. Sheri willingly joins in childhood games like hide-and-seek, Chutes and Ladders, and card games. We often marvel at her ability to maintain the same enthusiasm for the 10th game of Candy Land as she did for the first! Throughout her eight years with us, Sheri has seamlessly adjusted her interaction with the kids as they grew older. She skillfully handled everything from diaper changes and meal preparation for my 6-month-old to providing extra patience and guidance for my child diagnosed with ADHD in 1999. She even supported us in implementing a special diet that excluded foods with preservatives, artificial colors, and flavors. When therapy sessions were required, Sheri ensured my child attended them by driving him as needed. She has also played a crucial role in my daughter's development, offering guidance on hairstyles, clothing choices, and providing general advice to help her become a confident and positive pre-teen. Sheri is an exceptional, vibrant individual who genuinely adores children. The children adore her back, continuously giving her"peanut butter and jelly kisses"nanny in La Grande: this is Sheri's signature spot where she gives each child a kiss on each cheek. Sheri is a dependable and trustworthy nanny, always punctual and reliable. She demonstrates initiative and independence, understanding tasks without needing constant instructions. Sheri takes care of various household chores, such as laundry, dishwashing, light vacuuming, tidying, preparing healthy school lunches, grocery shopping, cooking dinners, and baking delightful desserts. She goes above and beyond by noticing areas that require extra attention and taking care of them herself. For example, she cleans out the refrigerator and wipes down the shelves while unloading groceries, ensuring a more pristine appearance. Sheri actively participates in the children's activities and interests. During the summer, she accompanies them to swimming lessons and motivates my son to dive off the diving board by jumping into the deep end, assuring him of her proximity in case he needs assistance. She enthusiastically attends school plays and concerts, drives the children to and from scouting events, and assists them with their homework whenever they encounter difficulties. The children affectionately call the playground Sheri takes them to as"Sheri's Playground"Having a nanny in La Grande has been a great decision for our family. I chose this neighborhood because I believe it offers the safest playground for the children, with its open areas that allow the nanny to watch all the kids at once. The other mothers in the neighborhood are equally impressed with Sheri's competence and enthusiasm, often expressing how fortunate I am to have her caring for my children. Sheri goes above and beyond during childhood illnesses, assisting in nursing the children back to health. She is always ready to take them to the doctor if needed and ensures they receive their medicine on time. I'll never forget the time my son had pneumonia and Sheri remained by his side, providing immediate responses to his needs. To keep the kids entertained, she engages them in restful and quiet games so they never get bored. Although we haven't had too many health issues, Sheri has confidently handled colds, the flu, conjunctivitis, ear infections, stomach ailments, and even supported their recovery from surgery. Besides sickness, Sheri has also been of great help during family vacations. She took charge of planning our entire trip to Orlando, Florida, offering an itinerary of events and utilizing her extensive knowledge of the Disney theme parks to make our vacation unforgettable. On trips to water parks and Warm Beach shore, Sheri ensured the safety of the children, allowing my husband and me to enjoy our time together, free from worries. To sum it up, Sheri has been an absolute blessing to our family, providing us with worry-free childcare. She is dependable, dynamic, creative, and fun-loving. Her influence has played a significant role in shaping my children into confident and secure individuals.”

“In La Grande, our paths crossed with Sheri back in December of 1999, when she became Holly's trusted nanny. Our daughter, Rachel, and Holly quickly formed a strong friendship and have remained close ever since. Sleepovers between the two are a regular occurrence, often in the care of Sheri at Holly's place. We had complete confidence in Sheri's ability to look after Rachel, as she consistently proved herself to be dependable and responsible. Rachel grew quite attached to Sheri, drawn to her dynamic energy and enthusiasm.”

“In 1988, I was initially introduced to Sheri as my full-time nanny in La Grande. She happened to be Sheri's cousin as well. At that time, my older daughter, Alesandra, was only 2 years old, while my youngest daughter, Danielle, had just come into this world. Whenever my regular nanny, Louise, was unavailable due to days off or vacations, Sheri would step in to take care of my little ones. This arrangement continued throughout 1989, until circumstances led to Louise leaving her position. It was then that I made the decision to hire Sheri as my full-time nanny in La Grande. She truly excelled in this role, showing immense care, patience, and assistance. Every day, my daughters eagerly awaited her arrival. Sheri effortlessly managed various tasks, such as changing diapers, feeding, playing, and even helping with grocery shopping and small errands. I had complete trust in her, to the extent of entrusting her with the safety of my children during car rides. As the summers rolled in, Sheri even accompanied us on our boat and joined our beach vacations, becoming a cherished part of our family. Eventually, the permanent arrival of my mother made a full-time nanny unnecessary. It was a bittersweet moment when we had to bid farewell to Sheri. She was an exceptional individual in every aspect, and I am grateful for the opportunity my family had to have her in our lives.”
