I'm a warm, reliable, and experienced caregiver with a deep passion for supporting children and families. Over the years, I've cared for children from 3 months old to 19 years, My journey began by helping my mom with her in-home daycare, and it's grown into a lifelong love for childcare. I'm comfortable and confident working with neurodivergent children and those with medical needs, and I approach every child with patience, empathy, and individualized support. I also bring healthcare experience from my time as a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) at a brain rehabilitation center, where I helped clients relearn daily living skills and use communication devices. I'm CPR and First Aid certified, and I love getting kids involved in hands-on, creative fun whether that's baking, doing arts and crafts, or spending time outside exploring nature. I'd love the opportunity to learn more about your family and see how I can support your needs. Feel free to reach out with any questions!
Sydney is literally everything a mom with severe postpartum anxiety could ask for to care for her firstborn and going back to work after maternity leave. She cared for our son from 3 months old to 10 months old and also added our 4-year-olds this summer to the mix as they were out of preschool. She can easily handle 3 kids under 5. She was also very good with our 19-year-old with special needs. She is a VERY reliable nanny. She payed closed attention to exactly how we ran our house and saw exactly how she can help keep everything running smoothly. We were so sad when she put in her 2 weeks. She loves our kids and we love her! (Bonus - she was also great with our 4 dogs)
