Dear Families, Hello! My name is Sydney, and I am a dedicated, caring, and experienced childcare provider with many years of experience working with children of all ages. I was a Girl Scout for 12 years and attended sleepaway camp each summer, where I developed strong leadership, responsibility, and teamwork skills. I participated in the Counselor in Training Program for two summers and later served as a Junior Counselor. In this role, I assisted the Unit Counselor with planning and implementing activities, led and supported campers in age-appropriate programs, and corresponded with campers to encourage their personal growth and confidence. In 2019, I worked at Clinton Gymnastics, where I assisted with program planning based on recreational themes, provided emotional support and encouragement to campers, and helped maintain a clean and organized environment. I also have extensive childcare experience through caring for my younger sister, who is now 10 years old. I have helped care for her since infancy, supporting her daily routines, learning, and social-emotional development. I am a graduate of Morgan State University, where I earned a degree in Biology. This background, along with my current role as a second-grade teacher, has strengthened my ability to support children’s academic growth, curiosity, and love of learning. In my teaching role, I design engaging lessons, manage classroom routines, provide individualized support, and build strong relationships with children and families. I am CPR, First Aid, and AED certified, and I take safety very seriously. I pride myself on being patient, reliable, nurturing, and attentive to each child’s unique needs. I would love the opportunity to support your family and provide quality care for your children. Thank you for considering me, and I look forward to connecting with you! Sincerely, Sydney

Bonjour! I’m a proud St. Lucian with a big heart and a passion for babysitting that blossomed when I was just 11 years old. Growing up, I helped raise my three younger siblings, who were born more than a decade after me. Those early experiences taught me patience, empathy, and how to guide little ones through every stage. From first steps to singing/sporty personalities. Watching them grow into their own identities lit a fire in me to support other children in the same way. Over the years, I’ve continued to babysit younger cousins and family friends, giving me hands-on experience with kids of various ages whenever I have time with my technical wiritng positon. I naturally gravitate toward creating a nurturing, positive environment where children feel safe, heard, and empowered. I'm especially proud of teaching manners in fun, memorable ways, and I bring calm energy and warm encouragement to every interaction. Whether we’re playing games, learning something new, or just having silly moments, I’m there with love, laughter, and genuine care.

As a teenager and babysitter I knew I wanted to work with children but as a pediatric doctor, But once I took Child development classes and parenting it really opened my eyes to another interest and that was being a early childhood education teacher. taking these classes I learned a lot about a parent perspective and childcare teachers as well in certain situations also along with being a teacher studying the different methods and also hands on experience on writing lesson plans and actually interacting with the children. By my senior year I did an internship at a child care facility to experience how a center is ran and the interaction with the children and teachers. After I graduated I worked for Kindercare Learning Center over a year, Children Of America almost 3 years, and a privately owned daycare for over a year before I recently decided to help local families who need care for their children.
