Hello! If you're looking for a pretty amazing, outstanding, great sense of humor, active & outgoing Nanny then I'm your gal! I am CPR and first aid certified and have my ECE. I am a former licensed and accredited home childcare provider of 10 years and have cared for children between the ages of newborn - 5 years for the last 23yrs. I am also a former lead preschool teacher for 3 and 4-yr-olds and a former school age coordinator for youth programs for 5-12-year-old. I have been a nanny for the last 5 yrs in the Tampa area (mostly Westchase) and absolutely love the different families that I provide care for daily. Kids are my passion and I'm so thankful & grateful that I get paid for doing what I love. I enjoy reading to children, doing arts and crafts, playing outside as well as playing board games. Please take a moment to look over my reviews left by the many thoughtful families I've provided care for in the past as well as those I'm currently providing care for.

Sandi is very energetic, sweet, nurturing, and engaging with my 1.5 daughter.  She is a former preschool teacher and has plenty of tactile, gross motor skill enhancing games/ideas that my daughter loves.  She is also very professional, respectful, and has an easy-going and outgoing personality.  My daughter loves her!!

Sandi is an amazing person!!   I don't think you could ask for a better person to care for your loved ones.  On the professional side she is a great communicator, responsible, punctual and was very clear about scheduling with you and herself.   On the "human" side she could not be a better person to care for someone you love.  She is personable, kind, caring, fun, happy, and really took the time to get to know you and your children as a friend.   I felt completely as ease and comfortable with Sandi caring for my children.

I'm not sure there are any better people out there better than Sandi - people like her make the world a better place!

:) 

always in communication about our kids, kids love her. 

Sandi has been such a blessing to our family! She is amazing with both of my boys. She focuses on all areas of development for both of their age groups (4 years, 8 months). 

Sandi has been a blessing for our family! My daughter struggled with feeding issues for the first 18 months of her life. This caused my wife to stay home with her to give her the attention needed. We were very hesitant to allow anyone else to care for our daughter. But right from the start you could tell that Sandi and my daughter clicked and formed an instant bond! Sandi has been very dependable and my daughter looks forward to their time together. Knowing Sandi cares as much about the health of our daughter as we do is very comforting. I highly recommend her!

My son loved spending time with Sandi! She was friendly, engaging, and did activities developmentally appropriate for his age. She was dependable and punctual which is very important to me. I would definitely recommend and hire again for child care. 

Sandi is so great! She is my son's favorite babysitter! He has so much fun with her! She goes above and beyond with him!

Sandi is THE BEST!  We hired Sandi for our newborn daughter when she was only a few weeks old!  We loved all the rave reviews here and were supported by lots of new parents who really trusted Sandi.  They were 100% right!
Our daughter is now 5 months old and Sandi has been with us every step of the way!  We utilize her once or twice a week while I work from home and also for date nights.  She is so patient when our daughter is fussy and cries and very gentle with her.  She also brings a lot of fun activities to do with her at every developmental stage.  We couldn't ask for a better nanny and can't say enough wonderful things about her!

We had Sandi watch our 2 month old for a "date day", and she was awesome! Our little guy loved her, and it's very clear that she is knowledgeable, dependable, and sweet with children. We will absolutely be asking for her help for future date nights/days.

My son loves her.  Very interactive and focused on the child.  Easy to communicate with.  I highly recommend her 

Sandi filled in last minute and took amazing care of our 7 month old. She is dependable, knowledgeable, and very sweet. She is also great with pets. I highly recommend her and will definitely use her again in the future!

Sandy has been my son's nanny for over a year now and I can't say enough how great she is. I feel that she truly likes to spend time with him and he also loves to spend time with her. She is always engaging him in different activities. She also helps me understand his development (milestones, nutrition, toys and activities). Sandy is also reliable, responsible and caring with the rest of the family.

Sandi has been a wonderful help to our family. We found her when my husband had to leave for work for several weeks and I needed help with our then 2 year old. We needed someone without much notice and for some early hours and long days until he returned home. At the time my son was a bit shy but immediately took to Sandi and looks forward to seeing her every week! It was such a relief to have someone I felt comfortable with and that my son adores so much.  We are so grateful to have found her!

Sandi is wonderful and the kids love her!  Highly recommend (unless you need her on the same nights I do, ha ha!)

Sandi is the sweetest and most loving person you'll meet! I was able to tell right away that I could trust her with my lil toddler. She goes above and beyond in taking care of my little one. On a date night, she texted me updates and pics! One of a kind person! I'm lucky that I found her on this website. 

When I moved from NJ to the Tampa area, I needed help with my kids but knew absolutely no one, and, having never left my children with anyone except family, I was petrified to hire a total stranger. Nevertheless, I was desperate, so I turned to Care.com and found Sandi at the top of the list. Her experience with children, her military service, and her bright smile led me to call her. She was the first and last person I contacted.

Sandi has now cared for my four children (ages 12, 3, 2, and 10 months) several times a week for over six months, and she is honestly the most wonderful thing to ever happen to our family. She is the kindest, warmest, most compassionate, most dependable, most trustworthy, most competent, most delightful person I've ever known, and she is AMAZING with my children. She is firm but loving, she is extremely knowledgeable and observant about child development, and she is incredibly engaging. She does so much more than just make sure your kids are alive when you get home (although for that alone I am grateful). She is constantly coming up with new games and age-appropriate developmental activities for them to do (sensory play, fine motor skill development, etc.). Just when I think she couldn't possibly do more, she always surprises me. As if all the foregoing things I've mentioned aren't enough, Sandi also cooks wonderful meals for my kids and does little chores around the house as time allows. No matter what, though, she always leaves the house in far better shape than she found it. I honestly could not say enough good things about her. The bottom line is that my kids and I both think she hung the moon. If you ever encounter someone with a single negative word to say about her, it is the naysayer you should be skeptical of, not Sandi. When scientists finally find a way to clone a person, Sandi is who they should start with.

Sandi has been watching my 9 year old girl and 11 year old boy. She is extremely trust worthy and wonderful with the kids. I feel that my kids are very safe with her. My daughter especially adores her and she spends time with them by playing games, surprising them with treats, doing fancy hair styles on my daughter and taking her out for occasional treats. She also helps with her homework. She helps me with few other chores that we had agreed upon before starting. She is very smart and promptly replies to any texts/calls. We will miss her.

Sandi has been watching my 5 year old for six months.  She has been amazing.  My son adores her.  She keeps him very engaged with homework, adventures, arts & crafts and outdoor fun.  It is wonderful having someone that you completely trust with your child and provides them with a great environment.  Sandi is extremely responsible, but she is also very fun.  I love walking into the house and hearing them laughing.

We messaged Sandi after reading her profile and great reviews. She interviewed really well, she is both well spoken and qualified. We spent quite a bit of time speaking with her and she did a great job putting us at ease. We were coming in from out of town for an event and looking for an in room sitter at our hotel on a weeknight. I must say we were relieved to find Sandi. A couple of days before our event Sandi canceled on us. We did read about a similar situation on the reviews but took our chances thinking it was probably an isolated incident. While she did notify us as soon as she could, it put us in quite a bind finding someone last minute and not having time to run a new background check. I do respect her loyalty to her usual families and understand they may have occasional last minute needs, I just wish she had been up front about this possible scenario considering it does not appear to be the first occurrence.

Sandi (or as we like to call her - Super Nanny) has been watching our 21 month old for a couple months now and we all love her especially my little one.    My baby was comfortable with Sandi right away and she looks forward to their days together.  In addition to playing non-stop, Sandi teaches her as well to stimulate her mind & curiosity.  Sandi gives off a very warm, loving and caring vibe, that will make anyone feel comfortable having her watch  their precious babies.
