Sara was our nanny for three months, cut short because she had to move back to California. She watch our tow boys, one and three years old. She was prompt, reliable, and professional she did everything that was asked to the letter. She even went over the top and always left the house cleaner that it was when she arrived, even though we didn't ask her to clean.

Sara watched our almost 13 month old daughter for a week while we visited Chicago. She also watched our friend's five month old at the same time on one of the days so she's able to manage multiple children well. During the week she cared for our new toddler by preparing breakfast and lunch, bathing, taking her to a close by park, keeping her entertained, and ensuring she was safe at all times while we were at work. Our daughter was cranky, mostly due to her new environment and not sleeping well at night, but Sara handled it like a champ. When our daughter was napping, Sara did some light cleaning around the house. Sad our trip came to an end because our daughter became super comfortable around Sara. Highly highly recommend Sara for all your child care needs, especially with infants and toddlers! Cannot recommend a more professional and kind individual. She took our instructions well and offered up some useful tips. Oh! Sara also has her covid vaccines which was very important to us.

Sara was fantastic with our 5 month old baby. She came over for an interview and was very thorough in her questions about his care. She wrote down everything we shared with her. She was very punctual and professional. She updated us throughout the day on how he was doing. He seemed very happy, well fed, and calm when we arrived home. I would definitely hire Sara again and highly recommend her!
