Meet Lydia

I have worked in day cares through college and have babysat on and off for years. I was a foster parent for 7 years. I am CPR and first aid certified. Infants, toddlers and young children are my specialty. I believe in healthy meals, hands on playtime, being present with the kiddos and setting reasonable boundaries so they can build confidence. Routine is important for all children to succeed. I love to make play a learning experience. Learning outside through exploring, inside helping with food prep (kids will eat more if they are involved with helping), arts and crafts, reading books or games. I love watching their minds learn, grow and build confidence. I have worked with medical fragile infants who have excelled within my care. I also work from home during the week so I have flexibility to accommodate at my house if needed last minute. I am still Read more set up for fostering children, I just do not have my home open for them. My house has been fire inspected and passed.
