Hi my name is Sidney, I’m 22 years old, and I just recently moved down to Florida from Iowa! I had lots of regulars that I babysat for in Iowa, and soon realized after moving down that I already miss spending time with kids so much. I have 8 years of babysitting experience with all ages of children. I also worked in a daycare for nearly 4 years with all ages of children as well, but had spent most of my time working with and caring for infants. I am currently working as a Nurse so I am CPR certified and trained thoroughly in first aid.
