About Lydia
Experience: 10 yrs
I have 11 years of experience having worked with kids and babies of all ages. I can help with Light Housekeeping and Errands. I'm outgoing and personal, I love doing and teaching crafts and activities, and getting to know the kiddos individuality and interests. Though I may be fun, I won't have any trepidation enforcing YOUR rules for them in a loving way. I have experience watching only one, or many kids. I can cook from scratch if there are any dietary restrictions, or as a fun event, like making homemade Marshmallows!

Lydia is wonderful! She spent a number of afternoons and evenings with my ten-year-old son this spring. He felt happy and comfortable with her from the start. She is friendly and warm and communicates with him very well. She took him on walks and short hikes when he had energy to run outdoors. She spent time with him on arts and crafts, cooking, and reading during indoor hours. She was also very thoughtful and supportive when he expressed anxiety about the fact that he'd just moved to town after an extended time overseas. In addition to her rapport with kids, Lydia is very reliable and trustworthy. I felt entirely confident with my son in her care and feel fortunate that we have been able to work with her. I recommend her to you highly!
