My name is Sarah; I am 35 and graduated from Winthrop University! I have a lot of experience with taking care of children of all ages from infant - teenage. I also have experience with working with multiple children (6) including a set of twins! I love to teach children and create activities. I like to keep to a routine/schedule. I also try to be as active as possible by doing a lot of outdoor activities, going to the park, nature centers, walking trails, Carowinds, etc... I always leave my weekends open for which ever family contacts me first that will need a babysitter for a specific date/time or last minute if I'm available. Thanks, Sarah M. janesm02@yahoo.com

Sarah has been working with our family for over a year now. She is always on time (and usually early!), is totally flexible and very willing to help whenever and however she can. My daughter, Kaya, who was only 9 months old when Sarah started watching her, loves when she comes over to play with her. She's about to turn 2 this fall, and I'm so glad that Sarah has been able to watch her grow and learn her personality. Working with Sarah has been a great experience for me and my husband as well, in that we have someone we know we can trust with our child and our home. Sarah is definitely an active person and makes sure that there is constant interaction with kids. She takes Kaya for walks, plays games with her, swims in the pool with her, and keeps her active all day. I would give Sarah an excellent reference anytime.

Grace was absolutely amazing! She had great communication. We appreciated her updates throughout the night, too. She is a sitter that you can truly trust. As a first time mom, she even reassured me!

I'm a very healthy, energetic, fun, caring, giving, flexible, reliable, loving, patient, trustworthy, dependable and definitely multitask person. I’m never late and have a reliable van. Have traveled far to work. I was a live in Nanny/house manager. I’ve had my Covid vaccine/ booster, flu shots and still practice social distancing. I take this Covid thing very seriously I’ve cared for infants,babies, toddlers, preschool, teenagers helping them in all the ways they needed. I was a Nanny and House Manager for 18 months caregiver to 2 children and lived 1/2 year with the family too but ended it on January 7, 2022 and then recently caregiver to another baby for 10+ months which ended on January 20, 2023. My hobbies are landscaping, gardening and remodeling. I love the outdoors! I have been taking care of children for a long time. I have done everything that there is to raising children potty trained, going to parks, walks, read, sing, libraries for story time so many things I’ve done with/for children. Children and I get along well. I’m a people person I get along with everyone! I’m here to make life easy/comfortable for everyone. I’m a team player! I’ve taken care of my nieces, nephews, my granddaughter with Down syndrome and my 2 wonderful grown children and many children with different disabilities. I've worked in nursing homes for several years and raised 4 children in one family for a lawyer and a nurse for over 16 years. When I started caring for them the youngest boy was 2 month, twins (boy & girl) were 3 years and the oldest girl was 6 years so needless to say I was very busy then and all through the years of helping to raise them into the beautiful children they are today. I worked 60+ hours a week and still do that. I can spend nights/weekends if needed. I can give your pets the care and love they need too. I have taken care of pets all my life. I also cook nice meals, bathe, have given Mother’s breast milk to babies, cleaned up any messes made by children or I helped with homework, carpooled, activities with them and took them to their activities. . I’ve worked in security, managed businesses and homes ! Would love to take care of your loved ones and would do great! You won't go wrong with me as time will tell. I can give references, a clear background check. Driving I got a ticket for 10 miles over speed in a 35 zone that’s why enhanced background check didn’t pass. Prefer a smoke free home. Connie

This reference letter is being provided regarding Connie Lewis as nanny and house manager. Connie joined our family initially in Fort Mill, SC late June 2020. She provided awesome care to the whole family while we lived in Fort Mill and she even "moved" with us to NC for about 6 months from July 2021 until early 2022. Yes, she commuted each week from her home in SC to our new home in NC. She was committed to helping the kids (and the rest of us!) transition to our new home. In all of her time with us, Connie has always been punctual (arriving early even), never canceled on us or called in sick, and was very flexible with us on departure time daily – staying late countless times to help with dinner, bathes for the kids and often even getting the kids into bed. They still ask for the special song that she sang and they tell me that I don't do it as good as she did. Connie has been wonderful with our son (5 years old) and daughter (almost 3). She sets gentle, supportive, age-appropriate boundaries, helps children learn new skills (from cleaning toys off the floor to getting along with one another to potty training), and follows their interests in activities (Legos, cars, crafts, imaginative play/games, books, outdoor adventures, etc.). She found all kinds of playground areas in our new neighborhood/city. Given her employment with us coincided with Covid, we did not have her explore museums or indoor activities with the kids, so she got very creative - nature walks, bike rides, spending afternoons at the local lake and playing in the sand there. (And the kids never got a sunburn despite nearly every day playing outside and being very fair skinned). She also would have lunch picnics or do crafts with the kids at a park. We have a lovely Christmas tree full of handmade crafts that the kids and Connie made. We also asked for Connie's help as a home manager. In that regard, she helped keep our grocery list updated, picked up groceries or went to the store (both with and without the kids), and made dinner for the whole family most nights - she's an excellent cook!! Laundry is always clean and put away neatly when Connie is around. She also helped take care of our two kitties - from picking up meds at the vet to daily care - food, water, litter box and cuddles. She also cared for the cats while we were out of town on several occasions. Connie met my need for crazy details about the kids (where they were playing, what they ate or didn't eat, bathroom visits, etc) while educating them and keeping them safe, and also keeping our home running smoothly. I still don't know where she gets all her energy from.... she's simply amazing!! I know finding the right fit for your family is hard. We were very lucky to have had Connie as part of our family for almost a year and a half. Had we not moved to a new state, I would not be writing this letter - Connie would still be with us. If I can help answer any questions, please feel free to reach out.

I have had the delight of working with Ms. Ardener. She is absolutely wonderful and my son is in awe of her. I have used Ms. Ardener's services for a few years now and she never disappoints. With her nanny services she has assisted with teaching my son to become more self efficient and consistent with chores. Tutoring him in subjects that he was struggling with over the school year and even helped prepare him for the following year. I swear, one of my son's favorite things about summer break is getting to be with Ms. Ardener.

Raegen did a wonderful job with my little girl. And that is saying a lot. She may be 4, but she knows how to express how someone is with her. She really loved her! Definitely would use her again.

I've grown up babysitting my younger siblings, siblings friends, and cousins! I'm very good with kids (I am one of 50 grandchildren), and I love being a good influence to children. When I was a kid, I always wanted to be someone who encouraged & believed in people when I grew up. Kids are such a bright light and beautiful thing in this world, and I want to help encourage their light to shine. I babysat my siblings and cousins for at least 4 years (it's definitely been more than that.) I took a babysitting course a few years ago, and I was trained on CPR & first aid. I believe preventative awareness is very important & I will ensure your kids are safe.
