About Lydia

Hello, and thank you for taking the time to read my profile. I have 13+ years of experience working with children and adults with special needs, including Autism, Down Syndrome, Cerebral Palsy, and developmental delays. My work experience extends to classroom settings, theater programs, one-on-one aid, community support, and personal care giving. I first developed an interest in caregiving because my mother was a special ed teacher. The type of care I provide goes beyond keeping children safe. I believe a caregiver should nurture young minds, help clients to achieve higher a level of independence, inspire them to be the best they can be, and generally love the work that they do. My husband and I do not have children of our own yet, so you can be sure that there will never be an emergency with my children that keeps being with yours. Again, thank you for your interest and I look forward to meeting your happy family!
