My Summary
About Me
Hello! My name is Lydia, and I have three years of experience working in a Montessori nursery. I’ve cared for children aged 4 months to 5 years, with my main experience in the baby and toddler room, though I’m confident and happy caring for all ages.
I hold a current Paediatric First Aid certificate and an up-to-date DBS check.
I’m a warm, empathetic, and down-to-earth person who believes in child-led play and the importance of nurturing each child’s uniqueness, confidence, and self-esteem. I love encouraging children to explore through nature walks, baking and cooking, reading stories, and creative play - always with plenty of comfort, care, and laughter along the way.
I also have a lovely reference from my most recent employer, and I completely understand how important it is to find the right person to care for your little ones. You can rest assured that I’ll treat your children with the same love, respect, and attention I would want for my own family.
I’m happy to arrange a Zoom, Teams, or video call to see if we’re the right fit, followed by an in-person meeting if things feel right for both sides.
My Experience
I have three years of experience working in a Montessori nursery, caring for children aged 3 months to 5 years. Most of my time was spent in the baby and toddler rooms, where I developed a strong foundation in supporting infants’ early development, routines, and comfort. Working closely with toddlers, I nurture their creativity through play, exploration, and sensory activities, and I particularly enjoy seeing their unique personalities blossom as they gain confidence and independence. I also have experience working with preschoolers, including children with special educational needs (SEN), providing tailored support to help them thrive alongside their peers. Through child-led play, Montessori-inspired learning, and structured activities, I focus on fostering children’s independence, curiosity, confidence, and self-esteem, creating nurturing, stimulating, and inclusive environments for all children in my care.
My Qualifications
I hold a Level 2 qualification in Early Years, a Degree in Fine Art, and a current Paediatric First Aid certificate.
