Thanks for this. Your little princess is a bright charming cutie happy child with a lovely smile always. Thanks 🙂
This kind and warm hearted lady has been exceptionally helpful and very accommodating to my son .
She is a devoted minder, as well as passionate about all the children under her care.
Words fail me when I try to explain how happy my son feels every time he speaks of her because she practically makes the children feel at home away from home.
I would definitely recommend her to any parent seeking to have that professional, passionate and undiluted childcare experience for their children.

Thanks Chi
It's always my pleasure to have your humble polite and smart son in my setting.
Kudos also to you for all the hard work🙂
Lydia is a lovely person.
Shortly after finding her on here, my family & I gladly visited her in her home and our boys (7 & 4) were excited to see her beautiful, clean, and well laid out setting.
My boys are comfortable, relaxed and feel safe with Lydia, and this is indeed invaluable.
Her setting is safe, child
friendly and equipped.
Lydia is very professional, thorough and very personable. The childcare required is on ad hoc basis, and as such her flexibility has been golden.
Lydia clearly loves and values children and this is evidenced in her significant attention to detail, her care and warmth.
We recommend her and we are grateful to have her care for our boys.

Thank you so much Jasmine...I am happy to always have your children. And i commend you on how well behaved and respected they are.
Looking forward to having them again in the near future.🙂
I have personally been blown away by her duty of care and professionalism. Her attention to detail is second to none. She radiates a sense of motherly light and warmth that makes both our daughter and us (parents) very comfortable. Aunty Lydia as we affectionately call her takes care of our most important possession thereby creating an enabling environment for us to focus on our further education and our careers. Thank you.
