Hi! I’m Sidni, a Certified Newborn Care Specialist with over 12 years of professional childcare experience and a special passion for caring for newborns and young infants. I provide both daytime and overnight newborn care, helping families feel supported and confident during those first weeks and months at home. My experience includes caring for singletons and multiples (including twin infants), establishing age-appropriate routines, overnight feedings and diaper changes, bottle preparation and sanitation, newborn laundry and organization, developmental activities such as tummy time, and maintaining detailed feeding and sleep logs. During overnight care, my goal is to give parents the opportunity to get the rest they need while knowing their baby is being cared for by an experienced professional. I can handle feedings throughout the night or bring baby to a breastfeeding parent when needed, then take care of burping, changing, soothing, and settling baby back to sleep. I am NCS certified and Pediatric CPR/First Aid certified, and safe sleep practices are always a priority in my care. I have extensive experience working privately with families and understand how important it is to have someone in your home who is dependable, respectful, nurturing, and trustworthy. I truly love the newborn stage and enjoy helping families navigate it with a little more sleep, support, and peace of mind. I’d love to connect and learn more about your family and the type of newborn care you’re looking for!

Sidni was great about communicating. She even reached out to verify I had any and all cleaning items needed to do the job requests. She completed all items on my list of house keeping chores. I am Pleased with the work.

Lily $25 per hour for 1 child

I have a strong background in healthcare and caregiving, supported by both hands-on experience and academic training. I recently graduated from nursing school and am a Registered Nurse. I will begin working as an emergency department nurse at The Ohio State University in April and completed my capstone preceptorship in the emergency department, where I cared for patients across the lifespan in high-stress, fast-paced situations. I hold certifications in BLS, Trauma-Informed Care (TIC), and Crisis Prevention Intervention (CPI), all of which support my ability to provide safe, responsive, and compassionate care. In addition to my clinical work, I have experience working with children through my time at Jumpstart, where I supported early childhood education and development in underserved communities. I have also working with adolescents in a psychiatric setting and provided mentorship to adolescents through my work at Brown University’s precollege program. I have past experience working with young children in volunteer settings during high school and college. I’ve also worked with seniors and individuals with mental health needs in long-term care and inpatient psychiatric settings. I’m comfortable supporting people with complex health conditions, behavioral challenges, and developmental needs. I additionally have experience providing household assistance and caring for pets. I’m dependable, patient, and calm under pressure, with strong communication skills and a deep sense of empathy. My background in Medical Anthropology adds to my holistic, culturally sensitive approach to caregiving. I genuinely enjoy building trust with the individuals and families I care for, ensuring they feel safe, respected, and supported.
