My Summary
About Me
I am a confident, nurturing and bubbly person and i'm very approachable and easy to talk to.
I am a qualified primary school teacher, with qualified teacher status. My previous work includes two ski seasons in the French Alps, the first as a Nanny in a nursery in Belle Plagne, the second as Head Nanny managing a nursery in Courchevel. In addition to this I have a few families which I babysit for fairly regularly and they are all very happy with the service I provide, some of which I have babysat for several years now and have therefore formed close attachments with the children I look after.
I've had lots of previous experience in the babysitting field, caring for a variety of different aged children and I am very keen to provide my services to parents and families looking for an experienced childcare worker. I have also provided my babysitting services overnight on several occasions so this is something I would be comfortable to provide if needed also.
In addition to babysitting, I am willing to provide tutoring experience if needed to primary age children (I can present my Qualified Teacher Status certificate on request to support this), I just ask for notice for me to plan and gather resources to meet the criteria needed.

Lydia babysat for my two boys (5 and 2 yo) at the last minute.
Lydia was super quick at responding to my message and very communicative to sort out the logistics.
She babysat for the evening at a hotel while we enjoyed a family celebration.
She messaged me during the evening to reassure everything was fine with the boys.
She was extremely personable and reliable.
Highly recommend Lydia as a babysitter!
