About Lydia
Experience: 8 yrs
Hi I'm Lydia! I am 22-year-old with a lot of experience taking care of children. I grew up in a very large family of 18 siblings. So most of my childhood I was helping taking care of them. I started babysitting for my family around the age of 10 and slowly started babysitting for church and family friends. I would say I have about 5+ years of babysitting/ nannying experience. Since my family is so large the house is always getting messy so I have a tone of cleaning experience and I happen to enjoy cleaning and cooking. I also have experience with children who have disabilities and special needs. My previous full time job was working at BPI Apple academy- for kids with autism or behavioral problems. I was a full time Behavioral Technician!! I have a lot of patience and enjoy playing and teaching children!! I'm so excited to meet you and your family. I am currently a companion to two adult women who have Down syndrome! I love them to death but the schedule with them isn't working.

Lydia is calm and quick on her feet in any dangerous situation. Several times she has saved lives by reacting to a choking situation, helped saving the life of a child with special needs who stopped breathing and saving a family from fire. This might sound fake, but it is really true. It's almost like Lydia has a 6th sense when it comes to danger. She is definitely a dependable and reliable person who loves kids.
