About Me

Hi, I’m Lydia. I’m a reliable, hard worker, who is calm and down to earth. I am trustworthy and responsible and always carry out what is required of me to the highest standard.

I’ve have always enjoyed looking after and caring for children of different ages and it’s been something I’ve really missed since working shifts as a Support Worker. Prior to this I would regularly babysit/nanny for lots of families around my ‘main’ job.

I’ve recently got a new job where I’ll be working some more regular hours each week. (The days I’d be working do change each week) I plan to, continue doing some childcare hours around my shifts.

I have lots of experience caring for children of all ages and stages and I work to help the children in my care to learn, develop and grow. My biggest priority is their happiness and understanding and belief in their own abilities.

My Experience

I have a range of experience

In summary:

Volunteered weekly at a crèche group (newborn to 2.5 yrs) for years

Nannying for a family weekly (ages 18months and 6 years)

Families who I would babysit for regularly (range from babies to older children) and had more than one child to look after

Always helping to look after children, including my niece from birth - so am very competent caring and catering for their needs

A Support Worker/Carer for those with complex learning disabilities who are deafblind

Various holiday clubs - Primary school age children

Support in the classroom during the multiple lockdowns and returns to school - year 1

Worked as a learning support assistant supporting students in and out of class (primary and secondary school)

Vaccinated 11-15 year olds, so have experience with dealing with children in what may be stressful situations for them.

Have basic First Aid training

My Qualifications
