Hi! I'm Lydia, I would love to help you out! I am a bubbly, responsible, and caring babysitter with lots of healthcare and child experience. I'm a PA student at UMES living in Salisbury. I have worked as a medical assistant at a pediatric office, medical scribe at Children’s National, and as a volunteer EMT at a local fire department. Along with an EMT certification, I am also CPR and First Aid certified. I have numerous experiences with babysitting family friends and neighborhood kids. I have also served as a camp counselor for many different summer camps and educational programs, including sleepaway and kids with special needs. I absolutely love spending time with kids and easily connect with the little ones! I love to spend time outside hiking and sitting in my hammock. I also like to do arts and crafts, such as paint by numbers and collaging. Additionally, I'm Read more amazing with pets! My family fosters kittens and cats, and I walk and pet sit my neighbor's dogs. I will be in grad school so my schedule and availability will be limited to evenings and weekends but would love to help out where I can. I look forward to hearing from you! :)

Lydia did a great job with my son. She was very reliable and showed warmth and patience. She also went above and beyond when things came up that required us to alter our plans a bit due to last minute needs/changes. She also provided detailed updates regarding activities and things I should be aware of.
