About Lydia

Experience: 10 yrs

I provide a nurturing and structured environment for young children, ensuring that their daily routines are both engaging and supportive of their development. My approach to childcare blends attentive care with thoughtful organization, creating a home atmosphere that is both warm and well-maintained. I handle essential household tasks such as laundry, dishes, and tidying up, allowing parents to focus on their family without the added stress of daily upkeep. Through an organized and clean environment, children have the space they need to explore, play, and learn comfortably. Beyond maintaining a tidy home, I create an enriching environment where young children can develop essential life skills through play and hands-on activities. Over a decade of experience in child care, including special needs children. Focused on providing an engaged and enriching perspective to provide children with the tools needed to navigate the world.

Lydia has been a total lifesaver for our family! She takes amazing care of my three boys, T, W, and especially M, who absolutely lights up when she’s around. She has this perfect balance of keeping things structured while making sure the kids have fun and learn at the same time. I love how she keeps the house running smoothly, to, no small feat with three boys!
