Hi! I'm Cyndie. I'm a mother of 3 boys; they are older now so I have flexibility in work and in play! I have twins that were 9 1/2 weeks premature and a 3 year old at the time soI I definitely know how to juggle children and family responsibilities I enjoy watching kids' sports. My boys played soccer since they were 3 years old, t-ball, baseball, basketball, track & field and football. I was a really active parent. I was Vice President of the PTA, VP of Membership, Chairperson of Family Fun nights and an Art Docent for their classrooms for two years. I also participated in booster clubs to raise money for the sports. I enjoy walking, bike riding, easy/moderate hiking (nothing too crazy!). I belong to the YMCA where I take Zumba, cycling, a weight class, yoga, pilates and cardio/weights. I just recently bought a guitar and Read more I plan on taking lessons. I am very close to my 3 sons so I enjoy doing various things with them. In addition, I have a 13 year old dog, who thinks he's a puppy! In the past, I worked 7 years at the Kent School District, both in the office and as an Instructional Assistant. I worked some with autistic children and children with learning disabilities. To work at the school district, I had an extensive background check and also I had to be fingerprinted. To my background is squeaky clean! If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask! Enjoy your day!

Cynthia was a great babysitter. Our kids really liked her. I would recommend.

We had Cyndie come in taking care of our four-month-old boy for a few days on short notice and she did a great job! Cyndie was easy to communicate with, over text messages and over the phone, and she was very punctual. Our baby has always been fussy before falling asleep for his first nap of the day, but Cyndie managed to put him down after trying a few strategies. They got along very well and our boy had a great time. Cyndie paid close attention to our instructions. Would definitely continue working with Cyndie in the future and recommend her as a sitter/nanny!

Cynthia was punctual and great with our 1 year old. She made him feel comfortable from the very beginning. She played with him, fed him and cleaned up after him. She taught us a thing or two about sleep training as well. Really happy with her and would definitely recommend her to anyone!

Great experience, we highly recommend. She was easy to coordinate with and clearly experienced taking care of children. She took care of our 2 year old and 7 year old for the evening. She jumped right in with playing games with the kids, and they were fast asleep when we got home.

We highly recommend Cyndie for babysitting. She took exceptional care of our 3-year-old daughter. She created a safe and engaging environment, demonstrating patience and warmth. Our daughter had a wonderful time, and we felt at ease knowing she was in capable hands. Cyndie went above and beyond by incorporating learning activities into her care routine. She was always punctual. Our 3-year-old still talks about her fondly, highlighting the lasting positive impact she had. We're grateful for the enriching experience she provided.

We're truly lucky to have Cyndie looking after our 1-year-old son. Her authentic kindness and warm-hearted approach create such a nurturing environment for our little one. While we navigate working from home, we often catch Cyndie sweetly engaging with our son – chatting, singing, or reading to him. It's clear that her dedication goes beyond just childcare; she willingly pitches in with household chores and meal prep during downtime, making her an invaluable support for our family. Cyndie's positive attitude, paired with her top-notch caregiving skills, makes her a standout professional. We wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone in search of a caregiver who brings both expertise and genuine love to the job. Thank you, Cyndie for all that you do!
