A little bit about me
Hi! My name is Lidiia, and I am a caring, responsible, and patient person who truly enjoys being around children. I love creating a safe, fun, and supportive environment where kids can feel comfortable, happy, and cared for.
I am originally a refugee from Ukraine, and I have been living in the United States for the past 3 years. My experiences have helped me become very mature, adaptable, and responsible for my age. I am currently 16 years old, but I take commitments seriously and always try to be someone families can trust and rely on. I enjoy helping with activities, homework, creative play, and making everyday moments positive and fun. I would love the opportunity to support a family and create a kind and trusting connection with both parents and children.
Thank you!

A little bit about me
Hi, I'm Lucas! I'm a senior nursing student at the University of Portland with experience caring for children in both family and educational settings. My Mother is an elementary principal and my Father is an elementary teacher so I come from a family rooted in childcare. I’m responsible, patient, and energetic, and I enjoy creating a safe and fun environment for kids. I’m CPR certified for all ages and, through my healthcare background, know how to respond calmly in emergencies. I value clear communication with parents and will tailor childcare to your family’s specific needs.

"Lucas is calm, kind, responsible, and so great with the kids — they have so much fun playing with him and immediately felt comfortable around him. The fact that he is majoring in nursing is an added bonus and gives us extra peace of mind. He is dependable, easy to communicate with, and creates such a positive, relaxed environment. We absolutely recommend him to other families!"
