About Sydney
Experience: 10 yrs
COVID-19 vaccinated
Hi There! My name is Sydney and I was a public elementary school teacher for 7 years. I also have previous experience as a full-time nanny, nursery care provider, and summer camp counselor. I am currently in grad school pursuing my masters in social work. I am seeking a part time summer nanny position, and open to flexible hours in the fall as my schedule allows. I believe that growing through hands-on play and engaging the world around you is a crucial part of a well rounded childhood. My approach to childcare is to engage kiddos natural curiosity, imagination, and desire to learn. ** I am fully vaccinated against COVID-19 as of April 2021.

Sydney is an exemplary caregiver and a wonderful human. We would rehire her in a heartbeat. She is punctual, responsible, reliable, proactive, communicative, warm, compassionate, thoughtful, caring, and fun. She immediately connected with our child, and we have all grown to love her. She always welcomed our guidance and feedback on how we wanted things done but also offered her advice and ideas based on her experience-especially in terms of supporting our child's growth and development. She has gone above and beyond our expectations in many facets. We could always trust that our daughter was not only safe and attended to while in Sydney's care, but that she would be engaged in ways that piqued her natural curiosity, challenged her to build new skills, and helped her find joy in everyday experiences. What more could a parent want? To top it off, Sydney is a delight to work with. The next family to welcome her into their home will be a lucky one.
