A little bit about me

Hello! My name is Lourit, I'm 27 years old and originally from Venezuela.
Back home, I worked as a pediatric nurse for one year, and I also have several years of experience as a nanny. I cared for children ranging from newborns to 7 years old, working with three different families while I was studying.

I truly love spending time with kids — helping them learn new things, exploring the world with them, and watching them grow brings me so much joy. I'm patient, responsible, and always strive to create a safe and nurturing environment for the little ones in my care.
