About Lucia
Experience: 15 yrs
As a dedicated caregiver with 15 years of experience, I've discovered my passion lies in nurturing and supporting children's growth. My journey began with fulfilling babysitting roles, where I realized the profound impact I could have on young lives. With a college degree under my belt, I'm thrilled to bring my knowledge and skills to the forefront of childcare. My patient and calm demeanor, coupled with my friendly and approachable nature, creates a nurturing environment where children feel safe and loved. I prioritize open and honest communication with parents, ensuring their preferred method is followed when discussing their child's day or addressing any concerns that arise. I believe in the importance of consistency and structure, and I'm comfortable enforcing household rules in a gentle yet firm manner, always guided by the parents' lead. My approach to playtime is diverse, ranging from energetic outdoor sports and physical games to engaging board games and puzzles.
Most recent review
Lucia cared for our 5-year-old for a year and a half, and she has been absolutely wonderful. She is incredibly trustworthy, dependable, and has excellent judgment — I always felt completely confident leaving my child in her care. What makes Lucia especially special is her balance of patience, warmth, and boundaries. She is kind and understanding, while still maintaining structure and consistency in a way that children truly respond to. She built a strong, loving relationship with our child and became a trusted and steady presence in our family’s life. Lucia came highly recommended to us, and after working with her, I completely understand why. Beyond being an exceptional caregiver, she is also a thoughtful and experienced parent resource — I have personally learned a great deal from her over the years. We are only ending our time with Lucia because we are moving. Otherwise, we would have continued working with her for as long as possible. I cannot recommend her highly enough to any family looking for someone caring, responsible, intuitive, and deeply committed to children.
