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.

My name is Lesley. I am a 52 year old mother of two sons who have become the young men we need in the world today and I am very proud. They are now in post secondary school and I am available to use my unique skills with another family. I am an Emily Carr Graduate and a professional Fine Artist. I love working with children with my creative abilities and often can cross over into the world of Science with effortless flow. And the imagination here creates unique & fun learning and childcare. I love outdoor activities and hiking to help with all parts of life. I am wilderness & street smart. I grew up on the Lakes of the Okanagan and on the Mountains of the Sea to Sky Corridor as the oldest child of six siblings. I am very creative, loyal, intelligent & sensitive person. I am well educated and have a keen sense of health, nutrition & wellness. I have creative problem solving skills and known to be great under pressure. I am an excellent driver with safe driving record over 30 years with Class 4, 5 & 6. I have excellent references. I am a mother of two amazing young men Gus & Max - who are 21 and 19 years old doing post secondary education. Gus was a valedictorian and Max won the Diversity award at his graduation. I am a very proud mother who has some extra time on her hands now that they are both entering adulthood. I am the oldest of six children and we grew up in the okanagan on the lake & forest and then moved to Sea to Sky corridor in 1987. At the age of 12 years old, I was babysitting neighbourhood children and tutoring in high school Fine Art, English & Algebra. I have wilderness wisdom and city smarts. And I love being outside in nature as part of a balanced lifestyle. Plus, I am knowledgeable in nutrition & wellness. I am professional artist and I am an award winning Emily Carr Alumni Graduate. I love working with children. I was a live in nanny in 1989 - 1991 to a prominent Family in British Properties and when the father died of cancer at age of 41 (1991) - he asked me to stay in the young girls life - they were 2 and 4 years old and I did continue to help them right up through university and now 34 years later they are my son's Godmothers and have their own daughters - 3 weeks and 1 years old. I helped the girls with every aspect of their lives and now they have their Masters and PHD. I cooked, I traveled, I mentored, I drove to lessons & school, I tutored them in all subjects but especially Fine Art & Science as I attended Emily Carr University of Art and Design from 1991 to 1995 and then 5th Year University at UBC to 1997. I am honored to have stayed with this particular family for 34 years off and on again. At this point, I am considered part of the family. The loyalty, trust and integrity required to integrate with such an amazing family and to run a household in the British Properties, Whistler & wherever they needed me was a true honor. Plus, to help with all aspects of traveling, tutoring & recreational activities was fulfilling and kept my mind & body activated. Recently, I have been supplementing my income with babysitting jobs for a family I have known for 17 years and their 7 year old son Lincoln while the parents have date night out. This is a good one for me. It is flexible. Over the last 30 years, I have often run fine art programs and helped in art therapy for street youth and for after school programs elementary & high school students through: Boys and Girls Club, Vancouver School Board, Front Line Work, Safe Houses for Women & Children, Art Therapy as an artist, Outreach & YWCA programs. This work has always been very fulfilling but my real specialty is one on one work.
