I have known Sheila for around 7 years now. She is a very soft-spoken, gentle, caring, and kind individual. Sheila has been working with children long before since I've known her. The last family she was with for years, and I know they absolutely adored her and felt very safe leaving her to be responsible for their 3 children's (all under 3) care. Sheila goes above and beyond what is expected. She is organized, clean, and pays attention to detail. She has a great imagination, perfect for the kids, and always has new activities in store to keep the kiddos occupied. If I needed care for my children she would be the first I would call. If it's any consolation, my child is medically complex, and Sheila was one of the first people I asked to help me care for my son.
