Hi! I'm Lucia. I'm a single mom to a 5 year old daughter who I homeschool, and I currently work in Child Watch at the YMCA. I'm also CPR certified and have experience caring for children of different ages. I really enjoy creating a safe, comfortable, and positive environment for kids. Being a mom myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you can genuinely trust with your child. I'm patient, attentive, dependable, and nurturing, while also being comfortable setting appropriate boundaries and keeping children safe. I especially enjoy arts and crafts, reading, imaginative play, outdoor activities, games, and finding fun ways for children to learn. Homeschooling my daughter has also given me experience incorporating learning naturally into everyday activities. I'm currently looking for a family who needs consistent childcare every Friday. Because I'm a single homeschooling mom, I'm specifically looking for a family who would be comfortable with my 5 year old daughter accompanying me while I provide care. She's accustomed to being around other children, and I think this could be a great fit for a family who also likes the idea of their child having a playmate during the day. I prefer caring for one or two children at a time so I'm able to give them plenty of individual attention. I would love to find a family where we can develop a comfortable, consistent relationship and where both the parents and children feel happy having us there.
I’m a caring, dependable, and outgoing college student currently studying pharmacy and works as a pharmacy technician. I have several years of hands-on caregiving experience, including caring for my younger siblings and babysitting for other families with children ranging from infants to middle schoolers. I’m great at keeping children engaged, creating a safe and fun environment, following routines, and staying calm and solution-oriented when unexpected situations come up. I’m also an experienced pet caregiver and have cared for dogs, cats, horses, fish, and various small rodents. I’m organized, responsible, and comfortable helping with cleaning and keeping things tidy, including more thorough cleaning when needed. As a college student, I’m looking for flexible caregiving opportunities that work around my class schedule while allowing me to earn extra income. I truly enjoy caring for others and would love to be someone your family can trust!

"We were incredibly grateful that Maya was able to help us out with a last-minute childcare emergency. She matched our 9-year-old's energy with arts & crafts, some quiet reading, and a walk around the neighborhood. We'd have Maya back in a heartbeat!"
