Hi! My name is Luma Makawi, and I’m a recent graduate from the Stern School of Business. I would describe myself as passionate, thoughtful, optimistic, loving, and fun! Growing up with four younger brothers gave me extensive experience in caregiving—from practical tasks like feeding, dressing, and helping with homework, to creating engaging activities that encourage creativity and joy. I’ve become the go-to sitter for my mom’s friends whenever they need someone reliable and trustworthy. Beyond my family experience, I have also cared for children aged 4 and older, including siblings and multiples. I genuinely love working with kids and strive to be more than just a nanny or babysitter—I aim to be a positive role model and a supportive presence in their lives. Whether it’s exploring the park, reading at the library, going on walks, or engaging in creative activities at home, I prioritize making every moment meaningful. My goal Read more is to create a nurturing environment where children feel heard, comfortable, and valued. Caregiving has always been second nature to me, and I would love the opportunity to support your family while bringing positivity and creativity into your children’s lives.
