Meet Luisa

Hi, i go by Lu, short way for Luisa. I’m currently a college student and looking for a babysitting position. I'm 25yo I have worked with kids 8 years, I started working in a science museum and aquarium interacting with kids individually and groups of children from 4 yo to 16 yo for about 3 years and then 5 years ago I started babysitting as part time with toddler and infant experience. I am really interested in education, sign language and I’m able to tutoring Spanish. I love spending time outdoors—whether rock climbing, bouldering, hiking, or simply exploring new places—and in my free time, you’ll often find me creating art, reading, visiting museums, or traveling. I’m a naturally social and outgoing person, full of energy and always ready for new experiences, and I believe in approaching life with positivity, kindness, and an open mind. Growing up, I learned the importance Read more of love, appreciation, and understanding toward all people, which has shaped me into a responsible, respectful, honest, and compassionate person. I also have a love for languages and am currently learning Italian while improving my sign language! Open communication is very important to me, as it helps create a fun, safe, and supportive environment where everyone—especially kids—can thrive and explore the world with excitement. I take pride in being patient, kind, and easygoing while always handling challenges with maturity and responsibility.
