"We were fortunate to have Lydia babysit our then 5 month old son at our house. During the six months, she was always punctual, never missed a day - the excellent reliability was just a bonus to how meticulous she was with watching our infant. We only had to talk about the baby’s schedule once, and since then she has followed it. Within first few days, we were at peace completely trusting her with our infant while we were at work. Our arrangement only ended due to the pandemic and the lock down situation in 2020. I would greatly recommend Lydia to anyone who is looking for a reliable person to babysit their children."

The most important part about being a nanny...
Being emotionally and physically able to keep up with the little kids cause getting angry at them helps no one! I love fulfilling a nurturing and important part but with parents permission I will record the important moments so they never miss anything! Even if it's a super cute smile cause they just did something the first time!
My experience with special needs children...
My brother had an extreme case of TBI where they classified him as almost on the spectrum

A baby I watched had rolled over for the very first time. He was soo surprised and it filled my heart with joy!

I’ve been raising kids ever since I was one myself! Growing up in a big family meant I became an expert in changing diapers, preparing meals, and juggling multiple kids at once, at a very young age. I was formally trained after I graduated, and am always willing to take more courses and classes to further my knowledge in childhood development. I have a great understanding of kids and am very experienced.
