As the eldest sibling I was grandfathered into the babysitting business. Throughout my high school years I was always babysitting my sisters, cousins and neighbors. As of recently I have been a full time nanny for 2 different families. A little about me: After graduating High school, I moved to the Big Island of Hawaii where I interned for a conservation organization through Americorps. After my internship ended, I lived and worked on a farm where I learned how to take control of my health and well-being through food and natural medicine. This is a skill of mine that I find very useful in planning meals/cooking/meal prep for the families I work for! In January 2018 I moved to Cambridge, MA for a 6 month au-pair position caring for an 8 year old girl. After that job ended, I did a summer position in Boston caring for a 7 month Read more old boy and 3 year old girl. I recently came back to Chicago to continue my education and have been working with a 10 year old boy after school on weekdays. Currently, I am moving to the Des Plaines area at the end of the school year and am looking for work nearby. I hope to hear from you! Sydney
