We’ve had the absolute pleasure of working with Sarah for over a year, and I wholeheartedly recommend them to any family looking for a reliable, respectful, and experienced caregiver. Sarah is the kind of person who makes things easier from day one. They bring a calm, supportive presence — ready to understand your routines and fit seamlessly into your family’s flow. They take direction incredibly well and are quick to learn and honor how you like things done, which made a huge difference for us. They are consistent, professional, and flexible, always willing to adjust as needed. At the same time, they bring a thoughtful understanding of child development and communicate clearly with both children and parents, creating a nurturing environment. They’re also warm, fun to be around, and emotionally grounded — exactly what our household needed as we transitioned to a family of four. They handle feedback gracefully, take initiative, and truly care about supporting both kids and parents. Any family would be lucky to have Sarah in their lives. We certainly were.
