About Me

Hello!

I’m a 31 year old professional singer/ music graduate, trainee yoga teacher and massage therapist with extensive experience in childcare looking for full/ part time nanny work. Having completed a common core skills training course in nannying before embarking on my degree, I was on the way to OFSTED registration as a nanny. I was also conditionally accepted on a PGCE course September 2020, but have decided to defer it… I have lots of experience and enthusiasm for child-led learning!

With vast experience in Steiner education, I believe in child-led learning, much like the Montessori method. As a professional singer, I’ve been told that I’m a bit like Mary Poppins or Sound of Music’s Maria with the children which is always a compliment! ;) I’m a fun bubbly person who enjoys the company and bright new ideas of little children of all ages. A singer, artist and creative soul, I have also been asked to teach lots of children recently as a singing teacher. I love nature and feel that children learn so much from it so take them outside whenever appropriate. I also love art and dancing and weave these into my time with the children whenever flows!
Having looked after families of 4 children from 6 months - 17 years, and also nannyshares, I know how to juggle growing personalities, demands and needs! I have experience in childcare from ages 6 months to teenage years.

It would be an honour to care for your little ones and I look forward to hearing from you.

Many blessings!

Lydia is such a great nanny and her calm and friendly demeanor really allows the children to settle and bond with her very quickly. We really appreciated and were impressed with how quickly Lydia got stuck into activities with our child.

She is very punctual and communication is great, highly recommended.
