A little bit about me

My name is Luana, and I am a new grandma. I currently care for my grandson for 3-4 hours per day, and since he was released from the NICU, I have become very skilled at infant care. Also, I am educated. I am pursuing a graduate degree in human resource management, and I have a BA in psychology. My first career was in the medical field for 18 years, and I was certified in adult CPR for those years. I recently received training in infant CPR at Desert Hospital’s NICU in November 2024.
I love children of all ages and consider them God’s greatest gifts. I love animals, too, so I can also care for pets. I am patient, kind, and very engaged. I exhibit positivity and will take good care of your children.
Have a blessed day.
