Luciana $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Luci, and I’m currently studying Elementary Education because working with kids has always been something I’m passionate about. I’ve been babysitting my neighbors and family friends for years, and I truly love getting to know each child and creating a fun, safe, and positive environment for them. I’m responsible, patient, dependable, and enjoy keeping kids engaged through games, crafts, outdoor activities, and whatever they love to do. Whether it’s helping with homework, bedtime routines, or just making sure your little ones have a great time, I always treat every family with care and respect. I’d love the opportunity to get to know your family and provide dependable, loving care for your children!
