Year Experience

My name is Sherry. I am a retired elementary school teacher living in Cochrane with my husband of 35 years. We have raised 2 children in Cochrane, one with special needs. This past year I worked with an active family with 4 children and the previous four years I taught children with developmental delays in a homeschool setting. I went to MRU, pre Covid, where I received my TESOL Certificate- I am qualified to assist children who may need English support. Being an educator, I try to use every opportunity I can for growth and learning. Also, I'm an active person who feels that the outdoors is an ideal classroom. I develop a connection with children quite easily- I LOVE children, and understand them, and they seem to sense that. If you live in or around Cochrane and I sound like the right match for you and your family, please contact me. I am hoping to work approximately 24 hours/week.

-TESOL (Teaching English as a second or other language) Certificate -ECS Certification Note- Although I checked off First Aid and CPR training, I have not repeated the course recently.

Letter of Recommendation To Whom It May Concern, We are writing to offer our highest recommendation for Sherry Stasiewich, who has worked with our family as a nanny for one year. Over this period, she has become an integral part of our household and has exceeded all expectations in every regard. From the very beginning, Sherry demonstrated an exceptional ability to connect with our children. She is kind, nurturing, and deeply attentive to their emotional and developmental needs. Her approach to childcare is thoughtful and responsible, and she consistently provides a safe, loving, and structured environment. Whether it was planning engaging activities, helping with schoolwork, or simply being there to listen, she has done it all with a calm and patient demeanor. One of the things we've appreciated most about Sherry is her flexibility. She adapts to our family's changing needs with grace and always ensures that our children's schedules, routines, and needs are met. She is not only dependable and trustworthy but also goes above and beyond, often anticipating needs before they arise. In addition to her role as a caregiver, Sherry has been instrumental in fostering a love for learning and exploration in our children. The kids consistently looked forward to the days Sherry was watching them. She always had some kind of adventure planned like picnics, scavenger hunts or kite flying. She took them swimming, rock climbing, hiking and always involved them in the kitchen while preparing snacks and meals. She encourages curiosity and creativity while also reinforcing important values such as responsibility, empathy, and respect. Sherry weaves education into any activity fostering growth and learning while making it so much fun! She even had our youngest (4 years old) reading by the end of her year with us! Her commitment to their well-being and development has made a lasting impact. Above all, Sherry is a warm, kind, and responsible individual who cares deeply for the children in her care. She consistently made each of our children feel special in their own way, whether it was a birthday, holiday occasion, or a regular afternoon after school. She has been a true asset to our family, and we are extremely grateful for the care and attention she has given to our children. We wholeheartedly recommend Sherry for any future position. She is an exceptional nanny/caregiver/teacher and a person of the highest integrity. Should you have any further questions, please feel free to contact us. Sincerely, Joel and Jessica Ulrich [email protected] [email protected]

Before long, Sherry took the initiative to lead the planning, and designed a unique individualized program to meet the needs of our teenage children. She is keenly aware of our young adult family members at home, including them in the program and mentoring and supporting them whenever she has a spare moment!

Sherry handles behavioral and attentional difficulties, as well as some personal care needs when necessary. She is always understanding, accepting, consistent, fair, flexible and calm. Working with several employees, Sherry demonstrates team skills, and a willingness to be open to many suggestions and ideas. She is a role model for colleagues, respite providers, caregivers, and support workers that assist in our home. She is a most valued employee, and there is no one I could more highly recommend than Sherry Stasiewich! Sincerely, Charlotte Beebe
