Hi there! So glad you found my page! My name is Sydney. You can call me Syd! I'm a pediatric occupational therapist looking to provide respite to parents of children with disabilities. I know that it can be challenging to find reliable, understanding, and knowledgeable date night sitters for your children and I’m here to help. I am experienced in supporting children with developmental delays, autism, ADHD, PDA, Down syndrome, and cerebral palsy. Looking forward to connecting. Disclaimer: If I currently provide occupational therapy services to your child, I cannot also provide child care. That would be considered a dual relationship and would violate OT professional ethics codes. Cancellation policy: If a family cancels with me with less than 24 hours notice, I do charge 50% of the agreed upon rate. By booking with me, you agree to these terms.

I have experience babysitting children ranging from 18 months up to 13 years, including kids with ADHD and ASD. I'm a pretty calm and easygoing guy, and always make an effort to engage with the kids I watch. I’m a pretty active person and like to get the kids outside when I can; bike rides, lava monster and soccer are frequent activities. While I personally enjoy physical activities, I'm always happy to take it easy and break out some table games or crafts for a quiet night in. I am comfortable with pets as well. P.S. I completed my bachelor's in March ’22, and am currently searching for work in the communications field.

Hey there, I’m Julia – Ready to make your home life a little smoother. Hi, I’m 29 years old and have been working with kids since I was 16. I’ve cared for babies, toddlers, school-aged kids—you name it. I’m also a college student with a background in healthcare and a lot of experience helping families keep things running smoothly. I’ve worked in a woman's hospital, trained as an EMT (and worked in the field for two years), most recently spent three years as an Au Pair in the U.S., helping families manage everything from busy school mornings to bedtime routine - and even running errands that they don't have time time. Here’s what I can help with: - Morning routines, breakfast, and school prep. - Keeping the house clean and organized. - Grocery runs, errands, and laundry. - Meal prep and dinner help - Picking up kids, driving to activities, and evening wind-down I’m extroverted, dependable, and love getting kids engaged with creative games, crafts, and outdoor play. I also understand the importance of helping parents feel supported and stress-free. If you’re looking for someone who can jump in and make your home run a little smoother, I’d love to connect.

"We were incredibly grateful that Maya was able to help us out with a last-minute childcare emergency. She matched our 9-year-old's energy with arts & crafts, some quiet reading, and a walk around the neighborhood. We'd have Maya back in a heartbeat!"
