Hi, I'm Lydia. As a former Kindergarten teacher and proud aunt to 11 (six of whom I regularly visit and care for), I bring a wealth of experience in childcare. I've also worked as a daycare assistant, Sunday school teacher, and companion to middle schoolers. I'm calm, capable, and attuned to the needs of children from infancy through adolescence. I'm warm, reliable, and playful, and enjoy writing music, rollerblading, cooking, and knitting. I'm happy to prepare meals and able to keep home routines running smoothly. Last year, I provided in-home nanny care for a traveling parent, supporting the at-home parent and offering a needed break. I'm currently available for full-time care and would love to support your family. I look forward to hearing from you!
Lydia watched my two kids when they were very young (baby and toddler age). I was very happy with her!
