I have been babysitting for over 20 years and have watched children ages 3 weeks to 12 years old. I have worked in three different day cares, all in the infant room. I have also babysat for over 250 families. I am certified in CPR, First Aid, and AED, renewed February 2022. I have used this on one occasion to save a life.

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!
