I am a mother of eight, grandmother of 18, and home schooled 3 children through graduation. I have taught children's church, drama classes, have tutored in reading and basic math skills in the past. I have experience working with children of all ages and have worked with children that have special needs, autism, non verbal, touch and sound sensitive, medical challenges, special emotional needs, etc. I enjoy playing games, reading, crafts, outdoor activities, and doing other age appropriate activities with children. I am energetic, flexible and reliable, and looking for part-time work, approximately 4 days a week, pick up and drop offs and/or date nights. I have references available on request. Experience the peace and assurance that comes from knowing your child is being well cared for while you are away.

Sandi is awesome! Very flexible and punctual! She was super great with my newborn. I am probably gonna need her again in the future, she helped me so much when my baby was just three weeks old!

Sandi has been caring for our two children for several months, and she is very reliable, kind, and open with communication. Our kids love her, and we feel very confident leaving them in her capable care. Sandi has taught our kids riddles, songs, and games - it is so sweet to hear them giggling in another room about something silly they are playing together. Our kids ask for "Miss Sandi" during the weekend and look forward to her arrival at our house during the week. Sandi is very good at communicating for scheduling; she responds promptly. Sandi also appreciates communication, which is awesome. She will always tell me if there are incidents or concerns, no matter how small, with my children, and provides suggestions. I would definitely recommend Sandi - she is great!

Our kids love Sandi!  She has been with us for about a year and a half now.  She has cared for my 18 month old daughter since she was a newborn, my 3 year old son, and my 8 year old son who is at home as a result of school being closed for COVID. 

Sandi does an excellent job with teaching my younger children things to prepare them for preschool. Sandi has had a lot of experience homeschooling her own children so she knows a lot about how to present things to young children in a way that they can understand and retain. 

Sandi has always been very polite, punctual, and appropriate. Our babies have made so much progress since she began caring for them it's hard to believe.  I don't know what else to say about her, she has been fantastic and our kids love her like their own grandmother. We would highly recommend Sandi to anyone that needs help with childcare!  Sandi rocks!

In the past three years that I've needed assistance with kids and pets, Sandi is by far the best.   She is reliable, competent, and kind and loving with both kids and pets. 
When I need assistance, Sandi is my first call because I know I can trust and rely on her.

When I moved I wanted so badly to take Sandi with us! She was the BEST dog sitter and baby sitter a person could ask for. Truly! Over the last 2 years watched my 3 dogs whom I considered not your average bunch of dogs. One had a life threatening illness and needed medication and constant monitoring and I was nervous to leave them with anyone. I never ever worried with Sandi. She was always on time (actually usually at least 15 minutes early)! She did what I asked for my pups and followed my very specific and sometimes lengthy directions perfectly. As my sick dog started to improve she formed an incredible bond with Sandi and just absolutely loved her. My husband and I traveled quite a bit and even went overseas leaving Sandi with my house and pups. When we returned home it never even appeared Sandi had stayed there and it was cleaner than it was when I left which was so nice to come home to. She was also incredible with my 2 year who just adored her. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!! Hire her!

Sandi has been such a big help with my family. As I work long hours she helps me with my son when I need it and also she has helped with my dog as well letting her outside to play and making sure she is getting fed and has plenty of water when my schedule isn't the easiest.  My son has become so attached to her as he loves it when she takes him to the park and does fun arts and crafts together. It's refreshing to know that while he is in her care he is still learning and having fun. Sandi is always here on time and I love how she gives a full report on my sons day when she does watch him. We sure are grateful to have someone we can trust not only with my dog but with my son as well. I would recommend her care to anyone. Thank you for all that you do for us!

My husband and I were attending a wedding in Colorado Springs (visiting from South Carolina), and I reached out to Sandi to find out if she could babysit our 9 week old at our hotel room.  Sandi agreed to watch our daughter for two nights while we were in town.  It was helpful to know that she was a mother of 8 and grandmother of 15, so I hoped my baby was in good hands.  Sandi showed up earlier than our agreed time, but that allowed me to review my instructions for her.  I was able to text her during the evening to ensure everything was ok, and upon our return, we discovered that our baby had a tummy ache and Sandi had a rough night; however, she was very professional and provided the best care she could, and allowed this first time mom to be at ease for the following night, knowing that Sandi was dependable.  The next night went much better for both our baby and Sandi, and we had an overall great experience with the process.  I would definitely recommend Sandi to other families!  

Sandi has cared for my 1 year old son since January, 2017, and has been a wonderful addition to our family. She has been early every single day she has worked for us. She does creative art projects with my son that are adorable and educational. She has accommodated all of our requests regarding specialized care for our son who has medical needs. Best of all, my son adores her. We will really miss Sandi since I am not working this summer. We hope she will continue to work with us for date nights, etc. if she is available. We cannot thank Sandi enough for the excellent care she has provided our son and our family.

I hired Sandi to help with my 3 boys which included transporting from school. Sandi is great with the kids and absolutely reliable. She has never been late and has even rescued us a few times when we needed her outside of our regular schedule. Sandi is dependable and we are very happy that we found her. 

Sandi is awesome! She obviously has a lot of experience with children. She has been watching my 4 year old for over a year now, and they bonded instantly. I highly recommend Sandi as a reliable nanny.

Our kids loved her, she was very patient with them and helped them with homework. She also prepared some meals for them when it was necessary. She is someone that you can trust with your kids.

My wife and I both work full time jobs with rotating schedules so our nanny needs are a bit more complicated than most. Sandi has always adjusted to our needs and been there when we needed her. Most importantly she is great with our four year old, he looks forward to her coming over and I feel that says a lot. She has always been very patient with him and attentive and does stuff that he wants to do keeping him very active. We would choose no one else for our precious little man.

Sandi watched my dog for me while I took a weekend trip.  She was very sweet and checked on him several times throughout the weekend.  She even texted me updates to let me know how he was doing.  Would not hesitate to use Sandi again!

Sandi has been an amazing caregiver! She obviously has been an awesome mother, she has done so well with our boys and loves on them and corrects them like they were her own. We have never had any issues with her care or decisions. She has been so patient with our boys and always thoughtful. We are upset that she has to leave us but will miss her greatly. There are so many wonderful qualities to this woman and wherever she finds children she will put 110% percent into their care and well being. My wife and I work in an EMS and social work career field and tend to be kind of selective in who cares for our children but never had a doubt about Sandi. We knew she would be great for the boys after our first meeting. Thank you so much Sandi and if you need anyone for verbal references you can use us.

We cannot say how great Sandi has been for our little boy. She would be an asset to anyone she works for.
