A little bit about me

I am 28 years old looking to make extra cash for my wedding (Wedding will be next year). I have and 8 year old myself who is absolutely awesome and super smart. I have an educational background in Paralegal and Criminal Justice. I am reliable, friendly, punctual and have no problem with cooking, cleaning and any other little odd jobs apart from taking care of your bundle of joys. FYI; I am certified in MC30, Hazmat and OSHA 10 and can build pretty anything!! Also I'd like to add that I am also certified in First Aid, CPD and AED. I have used my skills in a handful of occasions all ending with the client/stranger surviving. I work from home so my schedule is open. I'm bi-lingual in English and Spanish (Hope you don't mind if I can help your children learning a new language)

A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Lucy. I’m a caring, dependable nanny with two years of experience working with young children, including special needs students, and I currently work at an elementary school supporting children with diverse needs. I love creating fun, engaging days by planning local outings like parks, walks, zoos, and other hands-on adventures.

I’m one of the oldest in a loving family of seven kids, and I strongly value supporting healthy family relationships and reinforcing parents’ preferences and routines. I’m also a big advocate for limiting screen time and encouraging real-life experiences, outdoor play, creativity, and curiosity.

I’m happy to help with light housekeeping, simple meals, and keeping things organized. I love the outdoors, working out, traveling, and animals, and I strive to bring patience, kindness, and reliability to every family I work with.
