Hello fellow parents and guardians. My name is Sydney. I grew up around children. I have many younger siblings. I started to baby sit full time when I was 12 years old. I watched a young girl age five everyday after school until 12 a.m. every day for about four years. I am certified. I took a Red Cross class to become certified nanny. I am great with children. I am okay with animals too. I have no problem taking animals' outside or for walks. I have no problem cooking as well as light cleaning on your home. One things I like to focus on though is that I do not like entertaining children by television or electronics. I like to play educational learning games and get them to grow smart. I will allow a little television if god behavior has accrued. I am good with diaper changing, bottle feeding. Read more I will also potty train your child/children if needed. I will follow every step and guide line that you request. I do have my own form of transportation as well. I am free anytime of the day. I watch all ages very well. I recently worked at a center as well, so I am DHS certified, CPR/First Aid, and shake a baby certified. I also have negative TB test, so that you are aware I don't have it and your children will not get it from me. like I said though I can handle just about anything thrown my way. I am a very nice and easy going person. I understand rules and expectations people have and will uphold them. I will treat your home as if it were mine and as if your family was mine too. I am a very trustworthy person. I haven't ever had any issues with parents while i took care of their child/children. Being able to be funny with children and get into my inner child again is one reason why I love working with children. There is never a dull moment. One thing you must know about me though is I don't like putting children in front of a television and call that babysitting. I am someone who likes to play games and do projects go on fun adventures outside. I don't like throwing technology their way as well. I send updates hourly if the parent is okay with that and I also send pictures through out the day. I am a very clean person, so if the child gets dirty or we make a mess in the house everyone and everything will be cleaned up by the time you are home. Your home and your lifestyle i will make mine as well.
