My Summary
About Me
Hello! I am a student based in North/East London, I have extensive experience looking after toddlers as well as older children.
Most recently I was looking after 2 five year old boys and 1 two year old boy. (More details at the bottom of my page)
People say they find me approachable, patient and friendly and I can relate to people from all walks of life. I am hard working and organised, I often plan ahead and think creatively.
I am extremely compassionate, and I love to make people feel safe and happy. I am an active nanny who believes children learn and enjoy themselves in outdoor environments. I am also highly musical, can play the piano, saxophone, guitar and sing. I can also cook and happy to deal with any incontinence issues.
Although I do not have a car, I have a bike and can cycle, or tube to locations if neccessary.
Many thanks, Lydia
My Experience
Part time nanny, assisting families across London, Oxford and Berlin, from ages 6 months to 13+, mainly working with children under 2.
I volunteered for 2 years at my local church once a week, teaching children ages 3-5
Since the start of the pandemic, I looked after multiple children from different family’s, their ages ranging from 2-6.
A few of these families were also bilingual, (Spanish, Lithuanian and Greek)- whilst I do not speak these languages fluently at all, I managed to adapt my communication skills to fit their play and understanding.
Some of my most recent references:
- I really recommend Lydia as a babysitter. She has taken care of both of my children (5 and 2) and they really like her. She has been regularly babysitting my oldest son and a neighbour for five weeks and she plays with them, they do outdoor activities and also she does their homework with them. She is super nice with them and I feel very comfortable when they are with her as I know they are being taken care of.
- Lydia is a very enthusiastic babysitter, who charmed our almost 2 year old and 5 year old boys with stories and imaginative play. She’s great with children. She would be pro-active in making activities with what we had available. Art, outdoor play and reading books including those that she brought along. She changed nappies, gave snacks/drinks and was good at settling our almost two year old if he was upset.
We would recommend her.
