Lydia is amazing with my special needs son. She is patient and follows my son’s lead. She finds ways to integrate his interests into learning opportunities. Her previous experience as a special ed teacher comes through very clearly, adapting to the unique ways my son communicates or plays. She is not just a caretaker, but also an invested educator. My son has progressed and developed as much as he has thanks to Lydia. She is punctual and responsive. We trust her with our son.
