My name is Sidney and I live in Des Moines, Iowa. I am currently looking for a live-in nanny position with an amazing family in Hawaii. I have completed a year of college here in Des Moines and now am hoping to eventually attend photography school and take diving courses in order to become an underwater videographer. (Pretty sure I was a mermaid in my past life.) I am the oldest of four younger siblings and have 8 years of paid child childcare experience, including a year of work in a childcare center. My skills include cleaning, laundry, cooking, transportation, tutoring/homework help, running errands, etc. I I have been working with children for most of my life, and because of that I have a natural passion for working with children and helping them to be the happiest and healthiest human beings they can be :) I consider myself to be Read more a very outgoing, friendly, loving, hard-working, adventurous, reliable, laid-back girl and am hoping to find a similar family!
