I'm a passionate and experienced childcare provider with a decade of experience. I'm certified in CPR and First Aid, and I have a deep understanding of child development. My formal education, coupled with my hands-on experience, has equipped me with the skills necessary to provide a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment for children of all ages. I'm patient, calm, and creative, and I love finding new and exciting ways to engage children and help them learn and grow. I'm also very comfortable enforcing household rules and routines, and I believe in open and honest communication with parents about their child's day. I'm confident that I can provide your family with the high-quality childcare you're looking for. I'm available to care for up to four children, ranging in age from infants to preteens. I have a car and am comfortable with pets. I look forward to meeting you and your family and discussing how I can best meet your childcare needs.
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!
