Hello! My name is Sidney. I am 23 years and was born and raised in the city of Chicago, I recently relocated to St. John, where I currently reside. I graduated my junior year at Lincoln Park high school, and finished a couple of credits at Connections Academy. I studied psychology in applied behavior analysis at Purdue Global University for 3 years, but then went on to become a medical aesthetician. I love science, art, singing, music, children, tennis, animals, and helping others. My earliest memory working with children was when I was about 10. I went to an after school program where I met my dear friend AJ, who has ASD. When we met, I taught him to read, type, and write. I have always loved working with kids and watching them grow. I have worked at a daycare where I took care of 8 infants that range from Read more 3-12 months, and have had experiences with ages all the way up to third grade. My favorite part about working with children is the connection and trust you gain. Babies and children are smarter than we will ever know, and it is an absolute joy to be able to create a bond with them.
