Trusted Care for Kids & Pets | Experienced, Compassionate, and Ready to Help!
Hi! I’m 27 years old and have spent my entire life surrounded by both animals and children—two things I truly love caring for. I’ve owned and cared for a wide variety of animals over the years, including hamsters, birds, cats, dogs, and even turtles. I also have experience with reptiles and farm animals, so I’m comfortable handling all kinds of personalities, routines, and care needs.
Being the oldest of six siblings, I naturally grew up helping care for children and taking on a nurturing, responsible role from a young age. That experience shaped who I am today—someone who is patient, attentive, and genuinely enjoys creating a safe, positive environment for others.
At my core, I just want to be a source of good in the world. I believe you never truly know what someone else may be going through or what kind of support they might need, and I take pride in being someone others can trust and rely on—whether that’s for their children, their pets, or their peace of mind.
I'm looking for Casual/temporary, Part-time, Full-time employment.
I can travel to surrounding suburbs/towns of Paintsville for work.

I am a highly experienced and dependable caregiver with a strong background in both childcare and animal care. Since 2018, I have worked in caregiving roles, including in assisted living facilities, where I developed hands-on experience supporting individuals with a wide range of needs. I am a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA), having earned my certification in 2018 through a technical school program during my senior year of high school. In 2019, I became a registered Direct Support Professional (DSP), and I currently serve as a caretaker and house manager for individuals with intellectual and physical disabilities. This role has strengthened my skills in responsibility, patience, safety awareness, and compassionate care.
I am fully trained in CPR, general first aid, and infant first aid, and I also have asthma care training. I always carry a well-stocked first aid kit to ensure preparedness in any situation. I am a non-smoker and non-vaper, COVID vaccinated, and a permanent resident.
In addition, I have a valid driver’s license, reliable transportation, and emergency vehicle access, allowing me to respond quickly and handle transportation needs safely. My experience, certifications, and commitment to safety make me well-qualified to care for both children and animals with attentiveness and professionalism.

Whether it’s keeping little ones engaged with fun activities, making sure homework and routines stay on track, enjoying playtime with a furry friend, or simply providing a calm and caring presence, I’m here to make your day a little easier. My goal is to become more than just a sitter—I want to be someone your family feels comfortable trusting and happy to welcome into your home.

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. :)
