Hi! I’m Lourdes (Lulu) Torres, a caring and experienced childcare provider from Chicago. I recently worked as a Recess Coach supporting students’ social and emotional growth through play, mindfulness, and positive communication. Due to recent government cuts, my position was eliminated, but my passion for helping children thrive remains as strong as ever. I’m currently pursuing my Master’s in Social Emotional Learning (SEL) at National University, which helps me guide children with empathy, patience, and understanding. Before my school position, I spent several years as a Yoga and Fitness Instructor, where I combined movement, mindfulness, and creativity to support both physical and emotional well-being. 🧩 Training & Certifications Master’s Student in Social Emotional Learning (SEL) Certified Hatha Yoga Instructor (Yoga Alliance) CPR and First Aid Certified Implicit Bias Training Certificate Trauma-Informed Care knowledge Background check and references available 💛 What Families Can Expect Children in my care feel safe, seen, Read more and supported.
