Find infant babysitters in Newcastle, OK

Hello! My Name is Syd, and I look forward to taking care of your loved one! I am currently a student at OCCC studying biology, but I will soon be transferring to OU. My experience in childcare includes babysitting, coaching soccer for ages 2-5, substitute teaching for elementary middle school, and helping with summer camps like VBS. I hold myself to a high standard of responsibility but love making sure that the little ones are having a blast with crafts, games, and lots of exercise! (Dance parties are a personal favorite.) When I was 13, my first job was a stable hand, which involved caring for many different animals. I’ve also had plenty of pets in my lifetime, some of which have had special health issues like diabetes, collapsed tracheas, cancers and skin disorders, so I have no issues caring for special needs animals. I am a very experienced cook and enjoy keeping a house tidy. As a vegetarian, I understand the importance of paying close attention to specific dietary needs, but cooking meat products is no problem and something I do often.

I was a EMT and Medical Technician for 10 years. During those years, I worked in the Pediatric clinic, PACU, Family Practice, Woman's Health & Urgent Care. I have a Bachelor's degree in Nutrition & Dietetics and a Master's degree in Nutrition & Food Science. The whole time I worked on earning my degress I was a single mother of one child and decided to continue to be a stay at home mother after completing school. He is currently 11 years old. He is more independent, I am willing to share my time while he is in school & some on the weekends. I love children and animals. I am very experienced and confident in taking care of children of all ages, personalities, nationalities & religions. I have also had a cat, dogs, & fish as pets in my life in the past.
