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.

First Aid Training, Bachelor's Degree

I am an outgoing, fun-loving person who enjoys laughing and having a good time, but I am also strict when it comes to manners and behavior. I have always been able to strike a healthy balance with kids and know how to communicate with them effectively. I am extremely understanding and have always been someone children feel comfortable talking to, especially when something is bothering them. My 4-year-old granddaughter's favorite person is me, and she is mine; we are constantly playing and learning together. Coming from a family of teachers, teaching is second nature to me, especially with younger children. I have been babysitting since I was 12. I was a stay-at-home mom of two boys and also looked after babies and children. Now, as a 50-year-old grandmother of a 4-year-old, I have provided full-time and part-time care for her.
