Sidney $21 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! I have been taking care of folks my whole life. I began with helping my aunt through her cancer treatments. As an adult, I've worked as a Nanny teaching French, a babysitter for multiple children and most notably Adult Foster Care & Nursing Homes. I'm passionate about helping kids in particular. I love to see them grow and learn about the world, a child's curiosity is unmatched! I'm well versed in a variety of abilities and disabilities, as well as kids just being kids. I'd be honored to help your family <3
