  I have a great rapport with children and really do enjoy spending time with them.  If you are looking for a babysitter I can help out on weekdays, evenings and weekends. I would be happy to provide you with excellent references.                     . I have helped many families over the years and I still love getting new school pictures sent to me on facebook, and Christmas cards. It is so nice to be remembered, and to see how much the kids have grown. I love my job, there is never a dull moment. I have been responsible for transportation to and from school, sports activities, Light housekeeping and occasionally dinner. My favorite things are long walks, the beach, library's and museums, and of course dancing to the music. I think that last one is the kids favorite. I am excited about meeting some new little friends. I take my job seriously and Read more I am open to any and all suggestions from parents. I think you will find that I have an excellent work ethic. I am punctual and reliable.

Sandy has served our family as a p/t nanny and sitter for 7 months and she has developed a sweet relationship with my 2 school-age children. She is a very kind, thoughtful, responsible care-giver. She often brings puzzles for my kids to play with, plays cards with them, reads books with them, takes them to the playground, and oversees homework when needed. She also helps with light housekeeping. She is prompt and I always feel comfortable that she has things "under control" while I'm away. She has been a gift to our family! I highly recommend her!

Sandy has been a great sitter for us! She is trustworthy, straightforward and very reliable. She has always been very engaged with our daughter every time - playing games, talking with her, reading with her etc - not just 'watching' her. We highly recommend Sandy for anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy nanny/sitter.

Hi to anyone trusting your children in Sandy's care, I just want to take a moment to say what a wonderful babysitter/nanny Sandy is. She genuinely befriended my 7 year old daughter (and me as well!), cooks home made meals, does jig-saw puzzles, and takes her to the pool, amongst other activities! She lives in a very nice, safe, and clean condo with a screened-in porch, and it always feels like "going to grandma's house" when I take my daughter there. We have had a great experience with her, and she is trustworthy and dependable. She's never cancelled on me once, and has watched my daughter when I have had to leave on a week-long work trip or occasional vacation. She is always on time at pickups and drop-offs to school, helps with homework, and encourages good manners in her home. Sandy truly cares about my daughter and I, and she kept in touch with us, even when we moved to the other coast for a while during a family emergency. Overall, I would like to give her credit where credit's due, and I wish I would've written this a while ago, but I just hadn't gotten around to it! Sincerely, Lace

My daughter really enjoys when Sandy comes to babysit. Sandy is very good about taking her to the park and all the routines we have.

Sandy is a perfect nanny! She took care of my two boys during our holidays in Florida. She was reliable, kind, and very imaginative with the kids. She always brought new books/movies/cool stuff for them! My older one was not easy with her, and even if they did not speak the same language (we are french canadian), she was able to bound with him, which was not easy ;) I would recommend her anytime and I will call her in our next visit for sure! Thank you Sandy!!!

Sandy is wonderful. Both my girls (3 and 1) love her visits. And my elder daughter is picky about sitters. Sandy reads to them, she plays outside with them, she does puzzles, she cooks and cleans. She's only been sitting for them for a few weeks and she's already rescued me twice - once by taking my youngest out when my elder daughter got ill and I had to take her to the hospital, and today when she took my linens to the laundromat when I was in a bind. Any family would be lucky to have her watch their kids. At 68, she has more energy and enthusiasm than I do at 39! And with 9 grown kids of her own she's seen it all and takes everything in stride. She truly is a gift. If you want to know more, feel free to give me a call: Rachel Dumbaugh, (404) 889-5621.

Sandy is proving herself to be a lifesaver to our family. She is kind, reliable, trustworthy and competent. Our kids adore her and look forward to her visits. Sandy has been able to take care of challenging children (who are close in age) and they are well looked after. We are very pleased.

Sandy has recently begun watching my 17 month-old son. She is very caring and sweet with him. She is also great at engaging him - she reads to him, takes him on walks, and takes him to the park. I find Sandy to be very responsible and trustworthy, and my son just loves her! I would highly recommend Sandy to other moms.
