About Sarah

Experience: 10 yrs

I have 25 years of experience babysitting. I have been a nanny for 23 years. I have experience with newborns to teens. I have cared for twins for ovrr eight years. I enjoy seeing a child grow and learn. There is nothing like watching a child discover the world around them and helping them explore all there is to see. When I am caring for a child, I am on the floor with them playing and having lots of fun. I take the children outside to play. I have lots of experience and if you would like to learn more about me, please contact me. Thanks for all your time. Sarah

We cannot say enough wonderful things about her, and we wholeheartedly recommend her to any family, fortunate enough to have the opportunity to work with her. Sarah worked with our family from January 6, 2025- August 31"', 2026. She first worked with us when we lived in Bolingbrook and came with us when we moved to Naperville. She joined our family when our daughter was 2.5 months old. We are no longer able to obtain Sarah's support, as our family is moving to Florida at the end of August 2026. From the very beginning, she has cared for our daughter with extraordinary love, patience, and dedication. She has always treated our child as if she were her own, creating a safe, nurturing, and joyful environment every single day. Her genuine love for children is evident in everything she does. Sarah is far more than a "nanny" she is a teacher, a caretaker, a mother, a best friend, a true member of the family. She consistently goes above and beyond what is expected. Whether planning engaging activities, encouraging learning and development, keeping routines running smoothly, or simply offering comfort and reassurance when needed, she approaches every task with enthusiasm, thoughtfulness, and incredible attention to detail. We have always had complete confidence in her judgment and trusted that our daughter was not only well cared for but truly cherished. Beyond her exceptional caregiving abilities, she is dependable, trustworthy, hardworking, and an absolute joy to have in our home. She is professional, communicates openly, and has become a valued part of our family. Her warmth, kindness, and positive spirit have had a lasting impact on all of us. The love and bond she has built with our daughter is something we will always treasure. We are deeply grateful for the care, compassion, and unwavering commitment she has shown our family. While saying goodbye is incredibly difficult, we know another family will be blessed by her presence just as we have been. We wanted to share a few amazing and memorable moments from our time with Sarah: • Our daughter was quite colicky for the first several months and it felt like nothing we did could soothe her. The first moment she met our daughter, she INSTANTLY calmed her down. I told her she's "the baby whisperer". • Sarah quickly guided sleep training and got our daughter to a nap/sleep schedule, from the first few weeks she started with us. • She taught our daughter many words, games/activities, motor skills, and emotion regulation skills. • As first-time parents, we looked to Sarah for guidance in many aspects, while feeling supported in making the final decisions. • Sarah began potty training our daughter, at 20 months. Her method was quick, easy, and exactly what our daughter needed. • We have always trusted Sarah with our daughter. She has always prioritized her safety at home or in public, treating her with love and kindness, and engaging in all activities/games.
