I was a single mother for 16 years. My son is now 26 years old, a registered clinical counselor, and lives in Vancouver, Canada with his girlfriend. I am very interested in working with other single mothers as I am well aware of the struggles associated and deeply empathize with them. My name is Loukia, known as Lucy in English. I am 58 years old and was born and raised in Greece. I worked as a childhood educator, nanny for 40 years, and as a nurse sister in the Hellenic Army volunteer corporal in the general specialty of Nursing Sister for 5 years, providing care for elders with dementia and mental health issues. I am deeply empathetic by nature, an enthusiastic, warm-hearted, trustworthy, extremely patient, and very creative person passionate about childcare, elderly care, arts and crafts, baking, and cooking. Creativity is not just artistic, but about using imagination to find solutions to problems. I am seeking a full-time live-in position in Vancouver, willing to relocate anywhere in British Columbia. I am interested in working with neurodivergent children, adults, and curious, creative elders to engage in fun activities indoors and outdoors. I pay keen attention to detail by being observant and mindful of my surroundings, including people's actions and reactions. I am a light sleeper deeply committed to providing exceptional personal care, emotional support, understanding, and meeting the unique needs of each individual. Showing compassion, understanding, and kindness brings joy to both the giver and receiver. Being with kids or elderly people and creating handmade beautiful things is a meaningful investment to me. I am fluent in Greek and happy to teach it. I was a single mother for 16 years, my son, now 26 years old, is a registered clinical counselor living in Vancouver with his girlfriend. I am interested in working with other single mothers and empathize deeply with their struggles. I enjoy playing board games and spending time in nature, adoring animals, especially the independent nature of cats and the loyalty of dogs. I had a clever grey cat and a water turtle in my country. I enjoy reading theatre plays, classic literature, children's books, and psychology books. I prefer period European movies and appreciate the sense of humor from French, Italian, and Irish cultures. I value deep and meaningful conversations and prefer authenticity, kindness, honesty, respect, and clear communication. Conflicts present opportunities for trust-building and personal growth.

I am semi-retired looking to fill some of my time with joy and laughter. I have decided to add this into my retirement plan rather than volunteering for the sake of volunteering. I would have purpose to help a family in need for child care as I can sympathize with them because I never had that when I was raising my own family. An extra hand goes a long way and I can understand the value as a mother myself. I am very punctual, reliable, friendly, fun and my work ethics I take very seriously. I hope to add to your child’s development and make a good impression on their life ahead by being a decent human being. I am Chinese Canadian born and semi retired. I’ve raised my children 2 girls and a boy so I have experience with both genders and all ages. I am now a grandmother of a 3 year old girl that I find joy being with when they visit from Terrace B.C. I just finished looking after a 21 month old boy who was waiting to get into daycare. Previous to that I looked after a 5 year old boy with pick up from school. I also helped with laundry and meal prep from fresh prep. I consider myself very seasoned in the home and with children as I’ve centered my whole life around them. I am very chill, punctual, reliable and fun. I hope to add to your child’s growth and be an integral part of their life. I could only offer being present for them because you are unable to.

I am a very simple person. I have been single all my life since I started working abroad in Hong Kong. I worked as a domestic helper for 18 years, focusing on helping my parents, brother, and sister in the Philippines. When they passed away, I decided to apply to come to Canada in 2012 as a live-in caregiver, a role I continue to hold to this day. I love taking care of children. My first employer when I arrived was pregnant, and I took care of a newborn baby. Also, in North Vancouver, my second employer had a family of four kids aged 7 and 12. My job involved being an all-around housekeeper, bringing the kids to their activities, and helping them with their homework. Most of the time, I was cooking because the kids needed lunch boxes for school. I have finished my contract with them, and now I am looking for a new employer who can trust me and I will do my best if you hire me. Thank you.

College

I am a mother to two grown kids. In my youth, I taught swimming lessons and worked at summer camps. I also babysat my neighbor's child 3-5 days a week after school. Additionally, I was a chef for almost 25 years, and I enjoy cooking and baking, although I prefer cooking for fewer people. I have been a babysitter/nanny since I was 12, caring for many kids in various situations. As a sitter, I typically charge a minimum of twenty dollars per hour, but I am willing to make some exceptions. I am hoping to find a playmate for the baby girl I already care for in the Sunset area. Recently, the current child's father informed me that he will be staying home with his daughter until January. I have been looking after her since she was 6 months old, and she just celebrated her 2nd birthday. Therefore, I am available to help another family. If you have an immediate need for someone to assist around your house or with your child, please don't hesitate to give me a call. I studied electronics in college and completed my chef's apprenticeship. I took many leadership courses at the rec center focusing on preschool-aged children when I was young. I also obtained my lifeguarding certification, although it has since expired. I taught swimming lessons and led summer camps in Saanich, BC, for a couple of years before moving to Vancouver for college. After college, I worked as a cook at Grouse Mountain while also snowboarding and competing in boarder cross at Big White and Seymour. I started my chef's apprenticeship during this time. I have two fully grown children of my own now. For the past two years, I have been working as a nanny for a single dad and his autistic daughter. However, he has decided to take time off to stay home with her until after Christmas, so I am currently available.

In our little universe, we compose a close-knit family of four members. As the years passed by, my children grew up swiftly with time and now, they have matured and become capable adults, leading their own independent lives. My journey took me to the Disabled People’s Organisation where I dedicatedly served, my work focusing on providing support and care. That was not all though, I further spread my wings to the Wheel Chair Centre of Hope and Joy, performing various duties in multiple posts and contributing my due share towards those in need. In these organizations, every single task had its own significance which helped me shape a more compassionate perspective towards life. While I loved being a part of these organizations, currently, I find myself in the chilly yet welcoming embrace of Canada. My journey has brought me across the oceans, landing me on Canadian soil, where I am on the lookout for a change. I am eagerly anticipating what life here has to offer, preparing myself for the challenges and experiences that this change will undoubtedly bring along. I have been caring for seven children at my home for three years.
