Our 2-year-old son absolutely loves going to Sarah's! She made the transition so smooth and comfortable for him that we felt completely reassured about leaving him in her care. Every day, he's treated to fun new activities that are not only entertaining but also help him learn important skills. He constantly lists Sarah and her daughters as some of his favorite people and talks about them all the time.
Our favorite part is receiving the daily updates and photos showing all the great places he has been and the fun activities he's up to. We feel very lucky to have found Sarah and could not recommend her enough!

My son has been going to Sarah over the past year after his school, and it was amazing to see as he just could not wait sometimes to be there. Sarah really tries to create the best environment possible for each kid, and she is really able to engage with them and to understand their needs! She is super!

Sarah has been child minding my daughter since October and both myself and daughter couldn’t be happier with her. She is attentive, caring, fun and most importantly provides a safe, clean environment. My daughter loves going to Sarah’s after school and always comes home happy.

We have been so lucky to meet Sarah last summer :)) since October she’s been taking care of our little one (he is 14 months now), and he feels like at home! Sarah is really competent, always trying to support and provide the type of care the child needs.
When I had to go back to work after my maternity leave I was worried about how my little one would have coped, but all my worries faded away after the first day. She has created the smoothest transition possible for him ( and for me too I would say!), and the bond that she has been able to build with my son is fantastic! I definitely recommend her!! 😄
