Hi there! I'm Sydney, a 23-year-old nanny/babysitter/special needs caregiver for nearly 10 years - with childcare being my full time job for the last five. I am currently a graduate student studying Speech Language Pathology. I have a passion for helping and caring for others. I have experience working with all age groups and skill levels. My past experience includes being a household manager, mother's helper, caregiver, and of course nanny! My schooling has given me an extensive background in development in the areas of speech, language, and fine motor skills. As well as how to stimulate growth and promote success in those areas. With my experience in work and school combined, I am able to tailor care to the family and children I am with. I enjoy reading, educational and fun outings, but also know how to bring the fun inside. My goal is to not only help your Read more family in any way that I can, but to become a part of it as well!
