I'm honored to write this recommendation for Lydia. She served as our church's Kids Ministry Director for several years. During her time at our church, she fulfilled the responsibilities of her position well - overseeing our church's Kids Ministry, developing Sunday school curriculum, overseeing Vacation Bible School, working with teachers and parents, and more. Lydia is a super organized person too. For instance, she organized our Kids Ministry supply room so that things could be easily found, and coordinated teaching schedules among teachers and various volunteers. But moreover, Lydia always went above and beyond what was expected of her. For instance, during COVID, she visited kids and families at their individual homes periodically, creating games and activities tailored for the kids. Lydia is very personable and empathetic, and showed a lot of care, support, and love for our kids. And, she connected well with the parents in our church. She would be a great asset in any organization.

Efficient, organized, and diligent are just a few of the qualities that come to mind when I think about Lydia, my supervisor from October 2019 to December 2021. She was able to quickly pinpoint my specific strengths, as well as areas of improvement, and give me tasks where I could hone my gifts, and grow in my weaknesses. Under her guidance, I took on a variety of tasks in different departments and grew in multiple areas. Her ability to manage me in addition to a team of volunteers while also planning weekly and monthly events was unmatched and a true privilege to witness. Above all, I admired Lydia’s diligence and a keen eye for detail; she performs every task with excellency and efficiency and was a joy to work under. Lydia is truly a delight and would be a true asset for any positions requiring exceptional skills in organization and planning, and comes with my heartfelt recommendation.
