Sarah is wonderful with our 2-year-old—fun, kind, and reliable. Our daughter really looks forward to her time with Sarah and we feel totally at ease. We can’t recommend her enough!

I brought my mom and my daughter on a work trip and Sarah was there to help while I worked. Sarah made the entire trip amazing, below is what my mom had to say!
I was with Sarah and my 7- year-old granddaughter for two full days in Edinburgh Scotland, on vacation from the US. I can't say enough great things about Sarah. My granddaughter was very quiet the 1st day, but Sarah just kept talking with her, showing us around and guiding us through the city. By the end of the day, Elsie was getting comfortable with Sarah and started to warm up. Day 2 Elsie was immediately talking almost non-stop, totally happy to spend the day with Sarah and me. I've never seen her that comfortable with a stranger before.
An added bonus was that Sarah is as great of a tour guide as she is a nanny. We learned so much interesting history everywhere we went.
I can't say enough about how much we enjoyed her company, her warmth, and her sensitivity. I highly, highly recommend her!!!
