“I cannot express enough praise for Sheri, our nanny in Maple Bluff. Initially, she joined our family for just a month during a particularly challenging and stressful period. However, she not only agreed to extend her stay but also consistently surpassed expectations in her efforts to alleviate difficulties for all of us, especially my two sons. Despite the ups and downs we experienced as a family, Sheri remained a loving and optimistic individual throughout. Our children quickly formed a strong bond with her, and she never let them down, providing a nurturing and warm presence while also maintaining the necessary structure and discipline. Sheri is with the boys from school until dinnertime, going above and beyond by helping them with their homework, which is a formidable task considering one of our sons has a learning disability. I can always count on Sheri to keep me informed about their lives and relay any important messages from their teachers. Aside from these invaluable qualities, Sheri possesses excellent organizational skills that have been invaluable to both the boys and myself. With an unusually large number of appointments and conflicting activities to coordinate, she has risen to the challenge effortlessly. Furthermore, when the boys are at school, Sheri is proactive in taking on numerous projects for me, from running errands to conducting research on obscure topics and potential purchases. Speaking of purchases, she is an enthusiastic bargain hunter who has diligently managed our budget. Her contributions have not only saved me a substantial amount of stress but also enabled me to meet deadlines that would have otherwise slipped or been neglected.”
“I want to provide some background on our family situation and the reasons for hiring a nanny in Maple Bluff. As a stay-at-home Dad, I needed to return to work due to my divorce from my wife and our upcoming move in September. Initially, we needed a full-time nanny for the month of August, with plans to transition to part-time once the children started school. My eldest son has behavioral and emotional challenges, which made parenting him difficult. The divorce had also caused anger within the household, affecting both children. Despite being aware of these circumstances, Sheri accepted the position and seamlessly adapted to the role. Sheri brought structure into their lives during this transitional period, effortlessly handling daily logistics such as errands, doctor's appointments, and school pickups. She maintained regular communication with me through phone and email, ensuring the safety of my children was never a concern. Sheri collaborated with an Applied Behavior Analyst (ABA) to implement a reward-based parenting technique tailored to my children's needs. She also sought guidance from my son's Psychologist and Therapist to better understand how best to handle him. Sheri worked closely with my youngest son's Therapist in Waupun to address his anger stemming from the divorce. Using all this knowledge, she developed and implemented an after-school program that included homework time, attending activities, and free time. She even managed to keep the home clean, prepare lunches, and cook dinner. Before leaving, Sheri always made sure to keep me informed about the day's events, review homework, and discuss upcoming plans. The positive changes in my children's behavior have been remarkable. My eldest son has improved academically and shows more calmness. My youngest son's previous anger issues have subsided, and he is behaving much better. I attribute a significant part of this progress to Sheri's love and care. Furthermore, Sheri went above and beyond her role as a nanny and took on personal assistant tasks for both my wife and me. She assisted in the process of moving into a new apartment, meeting with realtors, and shopping for necessary furniture and items. As the boys primarily live with me, she played a crucial role in creating a comfortable and safe living environment. When I faced difficulties with our landlord, she took charge, gathering information from the town and county to strengthen my case and even attended court with me. Throughout the year, we also needed additional help for some nights during the week and weekends. Sheri not only managed the hiring process, advertising, screening phone calls, and conducting interviews, but she also negotiated salaries. I allowed her to believe that I made the final decisions, but it was truly her expertise that found a perfect fit for the children. Unsurprisingly, she discovered someone who, like herself, genuinely cares for and loves the children rather than treating it as just a job. In many ways, she became a personal assistant, assisting with errands, managing my daily routine, reminding me of appointments, and taking charge of various tasks, allowing me to focus on my new job. Finding a replacement for Sheri will be challenging as she is reliable, dependable, and capable of assuming a wide range of tasks. She effortlessly handles daily responsibilities and remains flexible when adjustments are necessary. She is receptive to advice from others and can effectively translate it into action. While she can offer sound advice, she always seeks approval before taking action. Throughout this challenging year, Sheri has not only shouldered the daily chores of making lunches, cooking dinner, doing laundry, cleaning the apartment, and grocery shopping, but she has also acted as a source of comfort, advisor, and at times, disciplinarian for my children. Sheri is truly exceptional, and I wholeheartedly recommend her as a nanny in Maple Bluff, representing ABC Nanny Source.”
“One of the most crucial decisions a parent can make is selecting a child care provider who can offer peace of mind by ensuring their children are in a safe, caring, and nurturing environment. I feel incredibly fortunate to have come across Sheri, who has been an absolute blessing in caring for my children. In March 1997, during our interview process with a nanny agency in Maple Bluff, my husband and I instantly recognized Sheri as the perfect fit for our family. At that time, our children were aged 6 months, 3 years, and 6 years, and we required assistance for three days a week, approximately 10 hours per day. Sheri's genuine warmth and affection towards our children was evident right from the start. She effortlessly engaged with our three-year-old, reading books together as he sat on her lap. Sheri's ability to connect with the children on their level, often sitting on the floor with them, creates an environment where they thrive, soaking in her attention and playful energy. She willingly participates in all sorts of childhood games, from hide-and-seek to Chutes and Ladders and cards. We occasionally tease her about her remarkable enthusiasm, as she can endure playing the 10th round of Candy Land with the same excitement as the first. During her eight years with us, Sheri has consistently adjusted her interaction with the children as they grew. Her competence in handling various situations, from diapering and food preparation for my 6-month-old to addressing my Little Chute child's ADHD diagnosis in 1999, proves invaluable. Sheri was patient and understanding, adhering to a specialized diet we implemented to eliminate preservatives, artificial colors, and flavors. Additionally, she provided transportation to therapy sessions when necessary. She even helped instill confidence and provided guidance to my daughter as she entered her pre-teen years, offering advice on hairstyles, clothing selections, and more. Sheri is an extraordinary and dynamic individual who genuinely adores children. The children adore her in return,"peanut butter and jelly kisses"the "kissing playground" in Maple Bluff, a term coined by Sheri.

Additionally, Sheri displays a remarkable level of flexibility and independent thinking, often understanding tasks without the need for repetitive instructions.
Sheri efficiently manages regular household chores, including laundry, dishwasher emptying, light vacuuming, and tidying. She also takes on the responsibility of making nutritious school lunches, grocery shopping, cooking dinners, and baking delicious desserts. Going above and beyond, Sheri recognizes when additional effort is necessary and takes it upon herself to complete these tasks. For example, while unloading groceries, she makes it a point to clean out old food from the refrigerator and wipe down the shelves, ensuring an overall cleaner appearance.
Sheri actively engages in the children's activities, offering her support and participation. During the summertime, she takes them for swimming lessons and fearlessly jumps into the deep end to encourage my son to dive off the board, assuring him of her proximity in case he needs assistance. She attends school plays and concerts, providing encouragement and support to the children. Sheri is also responsible for driving the children to and from scouting events, showcasing her dedication to their well-being. When they encounter difficulties with their homework, she readily aids them in finding solutions.
The children have affectionately named the playground Sheri takes them to as the "kissing playground" in Maple Bluff, reflecting her loving and caring nature."Sheri's Playground"Having a nanny in Maple Bluff has been a great advantage for us, as we feel it is the safest playground around with open areas where all the children can be watched at once. The neighborhood mothers are constantly impressed by Sheri's competence and enthusiasm, often telling me how lucky I am to have her watching my children. When our children fall ill, Sheri goes above and beyond to assist in their recovery. She takes them to the doctor if necessary and ensures they take their medicine as directed. I remember when my son had pneumonia, she never left his side, always ready to respond to his needs. To keep them from getting bored, she engages them in quiet and restful games. Although we have been fortunate to have good health overall, Sheri has proven herself capable in handling various ailments such as colds, the flu, conjunctivitis, ear infections, stomach problems, and even recovery from surgery. Moreover, Sheri has been a great help during our family vacations. She took charge of planning our entire trip to Orlando, Florida, providing us with an itinerary of events. Her knowledge of the Disney theme parks ensured that we got the most out of our vacation. She also kept a vigilant eye on the children during trips to water parks and the Wisconsin shore, allowing my husband and me the opportunity to enjoy some time alone without worrying about their safety. In summary, Sheri has truly been a blessing to our family. Her dependable, dynamic, creative, and fun-loving nature has provided my husband and me with worry-free childcare. She brings out the best in our children and teaches them in innovative ways. Thanks to Sheri's positive influence, our children are growing up to be confident and secure individuals.”
“In December 1999, we had the pleasure of meeting Sheri as our nanny for Holly in Maple Bluff. Holly and Rachel, our daughter, quickly became close friends and often had sleepovers together. Sheri would usually be at Holly's house to attend to the children, and we were reassured knowing that Rachel was in excellent care with her. Sheri consistently proved to be trustworthy and dependable, always fulfilling her responsibilities with utmost reliability. Rachel developed a deep affection for Sheri due to her vibrant energy and enthusiastic nature.”
“In 1988, I was introduced to Sheri through my full-time nanny, who happened to be her cousin. At that time, my older daughter, Alesandra, was 2 years old and my youngest daughter, Danielle, had just been born. Initially, Sheri worked as a fill-in on Louise's days off and vacations. This arrangement continued into 1989 when Louise had to leave her position. It was then that I decided to hire Sheri as my full-time nanny in Maple Bluff. I couldn't have made a better choice. Sheri was an incredibly caring, patient, and helpful nanny. My daughters would eagerly await her arrival each day. She had a special way with them and I always felt at ease with her taking care of them. From changing diapers, feeding, and playing, to assisting with food shopping and running errands, Sheri handled everything effortlessly. I had complete trust in her, even allowing her to drive my children in her car. During the summer, she even joined us on our boat trips and beach vacations. However, when my mother moved in with us permanently, our need for a full-time nanny diminished. It was a bittersweet moment when we had to say goodbye to Sheri. She had become an invaluable part of our lives, and we were grateful to have had her. Sheri truly was an exceptional person, and I am thankful for the time she spent with my family.”
