A little bit about me

Hi! I’m Jacqueline. I’m 24 years old, and I’m all about creating fun, safe, and loving spaces where kids can truly be themselves. I’m reliable, punctual, and super patient, but I also love being creative and coming up with new ways to keep kids entertained and learning.

My childcare journey began early—taking care of my younger siblings in high school sparked my passion for working with kids. From there, I jumped into nannying in 2020.

Whether it’s coming up with arts and crafts projects, playing outdoors, or just lending an ear when they need it, I’m dedicated to making every day feel special. I believe that every child deserves to feel supported, valued, and safe—and I bring that energy to everything I do.

I’m looking for a family that values open communication, fun adventures, and a positive environment. I can’t wait to meet you and see how I can help make your day a little brighter!

My name is Synthia, but please call me Syndie! A little bit about me - I'm 30 years old and LOVE all things fun and creative!

My approach to nannying as well as being a personal/executive assistant is to lead with my eccentric and creative spirit, but also with kindness, empathy and compassion. I am organized (LOVE color coding!), great with vendors and customer service situations, deeply loyal, charismatic, and have a way of making the best out of any situation with my supreme adaptability. No task is to big or small and thrive where I can challenge myself!

I look forward to meeting you!
