Meet Sydney

  • Comfortable with pets
  • Has a car

Hi! My name is Sydney! I am 24 years old and a graduate of Davenport University, where I studied Legal Studies and played Division II lacrosse. I currently work as a paralegal at a family law firm, and I am also the Head JV Girls Lacrosse Coach at Forest Hills Northern/Eastern. I am the oldest of three siblings and have been helping care for my younger siblings for as long as I can remember. My sister is 14 and my brother is 21, so I have had years of hands-on experience caring for children, especially during the newborn, infant, and toddler stages. Throughout high school and college, I babysat for several different families and was also an after-school nanny for a 10-year-old boy. Most recently, I worked as a summer nanny for a family with two young girls. I have been coaching lacrosse for seven years, working with athletes from Read more grades K-12 on both recreational and competitive club teams. Coaching has given me even more experience working with children of different ages and personalities while helping them learn, grow, and have fun. I am responsible, patient, active, and love spending time with kids! I also have my own reliable car and absolutely love pets, so I am more than happy to help with them as well. I would love the opportunity to get to know your family and see if I would be a good fit for your childcare needs!
