Looking for a kind and qualified nanny or babysitter in the Topeka or Lawrence Area?
Hi, my name is Lydia/ Miss Lydia. I have a passion for nature, gardening, cooking, and I especially love teaching children in my care about those things and sharing those passions. I spent a few years at my first official childcare job planting and growing gardens with preschool aged children, both a flower garden and vegetables patches, helping them learn to sow seeds, weed, and keep a garden. Teaching children to know (and have a positive relationship with) their food, and even identify lots of other plants, is a true joy of mine! Excited to meet, care for, and help to guide new kiddos, and I am always happy to help in any way I can. :)
I'm looking for Casual/temporary, Part-time, Full-time employment.
I can travel to neighboring suburbs/towns of Topeka for work.
