Hi, my name is Sydney! As a passionate and experienced caregiver, working with children brings me immense joy and fulfillment. Witnessing the growth of young minds is a truly rewarding experience that never ceases to amaze me. There is an incredible aspect to working with kids - they have a unique way of teaching you valuable lessons about yourself that you might not have discovered otherwise. My primary goal in seeking a nanny position is to establish genuine connections with the children and their families. I believe that building strong bonds is essential to creating a nurturing and supportive environment. I am devoted to making a positive impact on their lives and being a consistent, caring presence they can rely on. In terms of availability, I am looking to find a long-term position, flexibility is one of my strengths, and I am more than willing to collaborate with the family Read more to establish a schedule that works harmoniously for everyone involved. This past year, I had the incredible opportunity to serve as a full-time nanny for a wonderful family of four on the Upper West Side. Working closely with two children, both with special needs, presented unique challenges that I wholeheartedly embraced. Through patience, empathy, and open communication, I cultivated a nurturing environment that catered to their individual requirements. As I navigated the daily joys and occasional hurdles of their lives, I discovered the profound impact of dedicated care and support on a child's growth and development. This added a plethora of tools to my caregiving toolbelt, further enhancing my ability to adapt and cater to the diverse needs of the children I am privileged to care for. I had the pleasure of serving as a horseback riding instructor at my childhood sleepaway summer camp this summer. As I shared my passion for horsemanship with campers, I witnessed firsthand the transformative power of outdoor activities and how they foster personal growth and self-confidence. Not only did I teach riding skills, but I also instilled in the children the values of responsibility, perseverance, and compassion through their interactions with these powerful animals. This immersive summer camp role allowed me to combine my love for the outdoors with my passion for teaching, nurturing young minds, and inspiring them to embrace new challenges with enthusiasm. I am excited to bring my well-rounded skill set to a long-term nanny position where I can make a positive and lasting impact.
