About Lydia
Experience: 15 yrs
Hi! I'm a nanny with 15+ years experience, especially with infants and toddlers. I'm currently full time with a family but available for date nights and occasional care. I'm especially skilled at supporting new parents, offering calm confident care and helping families find their rhythm. I have experience with sleep training, feeding/transitioning to solids, developmental milestones, and sick care. I've held many long-term nanny positions, as well as temporary roles (alongside my work as an artist), which have made me feel at ease stepping into new homes, and ready to support a wide range of household needs. (Aka I've seen it all!) Safety is always my priority, followed by encouraging little ones to explore, play and learn through fun activities (art/sensory based, stroller walks/parks). If you're looking for a knowledgeable, reliable and warm nanny, I'd love to connect! (the photos in my profile are of my niece and nephew, posted with permission)
Most recent review
Lydia was my daughter’s nanny from four months to eight months old, and she was an absolute gift to our family. As a first-time mom, I was nervous about leaving my daughter with someone new, but Lydia put those worries to rest almost instantly. My daughter took to her right away, and it was clear the feeling was mutual — she loved Lydia so much, and it showed in her smile every time Lydia walked in the door. Beyond the genuine bond she built with my daughter, Lydia was incredibly flexible and accommodating with our ever-changing needs as new parents. She brought a calm, comforting presence into our home during a season that can otherwise feel chaotic and uncertain. We felt completely at ease knowing our daughter was in her care. We loved working with Lydia so much that we’ve stayed in touch ever since, and we still grab her whenever she’s available. That alone should tell you everything you need to know.
