Hi! I’m Lydia, 28 years old, married, and a certified preschool teacher with a diploma from Austria, fluent in both English and German. I have over 5 years of paid childcare experience, and more than 10 years of hands-on experience with children, including working as an Au Pair for children ages 3–8 and as a preschool teacher in Austria for ages 1½–4. My childcare style blends Montessori and gentle parenting, encouraging independence and emotional awareness while maintaining clear structure, routines, and boundaries when needed. I love singing, crafting, baking, and turning everyday activities into fun learning experiences. Families describe me as dependable, nurturing, and creative, and I truly enjoy helping children grow with confidence and joy.

I can’t recommend Lydia enough! She has been dependable, trustworthy, responsible, fun, and empathetic from the start. She has a knack for bringing families together, creating fun and educational play opportunities, and keeping the house running in the background. She is a talented childcare worker who has several years of education and experience in the field, so I feel comfortable trusting her to take care of both of my kids (ages 1 and 4). If you are looking for someone who will listen and take your needs/concerns seriously, get Lydia!
