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. ”
Hi My name is Lexie and I’m currently studying psychology because I hope to work with children in the future. I offer child care, senior care, pet care, and basic household help. I’ve worked with kids of all ages and love creating a calm, fun, and supportive environment. I’ve helped with homework, bedtime routines, meals, play activities, and keeping kids engaged in safe, positive ways. I also have experience caring for seniors, including helping with daily tasks, companionship, light cleaning, and making sure they feel comfortable and supported. I’m great with pets as well and can handle feeding, walks, playtime, and general care. I’m dependable, patient, and bring a warm, understanding personality to every home I step into.
