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.

I currently have babysitting openings. I’m available Monday–Friday, weekends can be arranged as well. Available all shifts. I’m located in Bettendorf. I am willing to do pick up/drop offs. I’m a 22-year-old college student entering my final year of my bachelor’s degree this fall (fully online). I have years of experience caring for children from previously helping my mom run her in home daycare (from age 13-18). Since 18, I’ve been a Direct Support Professional caregiver for intellectually disabled adults (5+ years). Childcare will be provided in my home, which is equipped with nanny cameras for parents’ peace of mind. I also have a fully fenced backyard where kids can safely play outside. I am First Aid/CPR certified!A quick note about my dog: 🐢 I do have a very friendly, gentle, and kid-loving dog in the home. However, if it makes you or your family more comfortable, I’m more than happy to keep my dog kenneled or separated during childcare hours. Your child’s safety and your peace of mind are my top priorities!Feel free to send me a message with any questions. I’d love to chat! πŸ’•
