About Lydia
Experience: 3 yrs
COVID-19 vaccinated
Hi! My name is Lydia and I am looking for occasional caregiving work on nights and weekends. I am an aunt to two precocious toddlers and have extensive experience working with children and adults on the autism spectrum. I use gentle parenting techniques and have a background in developmental psychology that I pull on to help ensure all individuals under my care feel respected, heard, and safe. My skills include gentle parenting techniques, mindfulness and child-led play. I respect and celebrate all family structures and gender identities. Can't wait to learn more about your specific caregiving needs! For 1 child, my rate is 20/hr & for 2-3 children it is 25/hr.
