Hi parents!
My name is Lucia.
I decided to start my own babysitting business after dedicating myself to children.
I love children and enjoy learning, playing and sharing my time with them. Aren't they the most delicious treasure in the world?.
Childhood is a wonderful stage. There is no past, no future; just the present, seen with only illusion and innocence.
When I spend time with children, whether a lot or a little, the foundation of my work is grounded in helping them with their individual development, bearing in mind their physical, social and emotional needs. Playing is the best way to learn, to awaken curiosity about life and to satisfy an important and universal desire that children have to discover the world. Always from love, attention, respect and naturalness, we interact together with these noble goals in common.
"Children are great imitators, so give them something great to imitate!". (Anonymous)
"Play is the highest form of research". (Albert Einstein)
"Plant good ideas in the children, even though they won't understand. Entrust the years to decipher the meaning and make it bloom in their hearts". (María Montessori)

As a professional in early childhood education, I am responsible for the total care that a child needs, such as hygiene, nutrition, emotions, social and pedagogical skills. To do my job successfully, it takes patience, emotional strength, endurance, compassion, and a lot of flexibility. A good child care provider is one who possesses excellent leadership, communication, and organizational skills. Parents will feel comfortable and safe leaving their children in the care of an experienced person.
The first years of a child are very important for their development, especially the first three years. Achieving a healthy educational development valid for a lifetime will depend on the attention we pay to their care, health, communication and emotional skills. Babies are the future generation, our treasure today.
From home we can better control the schedules and habits of the child, so that the child acquires practice from an early age to guide their own rhythm. At home we can focus our attention on the child, dedicating ourselves exclusively to him to make the most of his day. Having a home school professional will be a great benefit to children.

"Lucia worked for over 3 years every other day when we were living in Ibiza. She still works for us during every school break we spend in Ibiza. She started when my younger son was 2 and my oldest was 5. They are now 5 and 8.
She is the Orly babysitter we’ve ever had that my children never get bored of seeing and actually look forward to and ask see more. My kids talk about her regularly.
She is the most professional and qualified child carer we’ve had and my kids got along with her since the first few minutes of meeting her for the first time, which is rare. She is active and plays outdoors a lot, and also does quiet activities that she brings along, like Memory, Jenga or Mikado.
My children improved their Spanish and social skills a lot with her so I highly recommend her if you are looping for a fun teacher-like babysitter. Her profile and qualifications are more on the educator end and she is not like the babysitters you usually find in Ibiza, who are typically party girls or yoga teachers looping for extra Money during the summer Seaton.
Lucia is a child carer year long, very reliable and always on time!!!
I hope your children will be lucky to spend some play time with her."
