Sarah was fantastic with our toddler, and we would *highly* recommend her to anyone looking for a calm, patient, communicative nanny. We hired her part-time for a couple months and she was always a calming presence, had great intuition about our child's needs and created an environment that was both nurturing and independent. From day 1, we completely trusted her and felt 100% comfortable leaving our child in her care. She picked up our approach to naps, eating and boundaries immediately, and asked questions when anything wasn't clear. We appreciated her clear communication style. She was with us when our toddler was going through a phase of intense separation anxiety, and she was so comfortable with his big feelings - giving him space, offering comfort, and just generally being a calming and reassuring presence (for both us, and our child!). Although we're no longer in need of recurring care, we look forward to keeping a relationship with her for our occasional babysitting needs!
