"Shera was with our family for about three
months taking care of our son starting when he was about 2.5 months old. Shera made this transition comfortable and easy. One of our favorite aspects of Shera’s time with our son was “the morning meetings.” Each morning, she
would sit our son up and have a conversation with him (which was often accompanied by a picture too)!
Another special aspect that Shera brought to our home was organizing our son’s nursery. She also would take initiatives to take him on walks,
and to the park.
Finally, we appreciate Shera’s flexibility with her schedule.
While our time with Shera was sadly cut short by an unexpected change in our home circumstances, we
know our son got an amazing headstart in his journey in life and we learned many valuable lessons as first time We can’t say enough for how good of a job she will take care of your child!"
