About Lucinda
Experience: 10 yrs
COVID-19 vaccinated
I just finished the third year of my PhD program in Child Studies at Tufts! I love working with kids, who are still learning who they are and how they relate to the world. I have worked with kids at all stages of development. I prefer talking to kids about their bodies & interactions that step away from the framework of shame, while keeping in mind that boundaries are extremely important for growth.

Lucinda is a gem- this is a person who connects so easily with children, in part because they are a really fabulous listener. Lucinda has babysat for my little one (from ages 3-4) and is dependable, kind, imaginative, and CONSTANTLY requested by my daughter, even when we do not have plans to go out ;) Lucinda is also pursuing her PhD in child studies so has the benefit of excellent training in what is developmentally appropriate for kids! As the parent of a child who can be resistant to new people and who has big strong feelings, I immediately felt comfortable with Lucinda and how respectfully they interacted with my daughter. Strongly recommend!!
