About Lovicare
The person behind Lovicare
Lovicare is built around one professional: Lucy. Her experience, her attitude and her way of working define what families can expect.
Experience that goes beyond babysitting
Lucy works professionally with children and has experience in childcare. She has also worked independently with families in their own homes — a setting where it is not only care for children that counts, but also care with the space, the routines and the trust of a household.
What characterises her work is calm. Children quickly sense whether someone is genuinely paying attention or merely present. Lucy takes the time to read what a child needs: one child wants to watch first, another starts talking straight away. Both are fine.
For parents, that mostly means clarity. Clear agreements, a short handover afterwards, and the certainty that someone in the house is taking responsibility — including when a day turns out differently than planned.
Founder & childcare professional
What Lucy stands for
Calm
A steady presence children relax around, including in busier moments.
Responsibility
Keeping to agreements, thinking ahead and saying so in good time when something changes.
Attention
Looking at the child who is actually there, rather than the day that was planned on paper.
Discretion
What happens in your home stays in your home. Without exception.

Professional development
In time, Lovicare will extend its services with personal sleep coaching. While that service is not yet available, sleep coaching is not offered and Lovicare does not present itself as a provider of it.
Lovicare as a brand
Lovicare starts with Lucy, but it is set up as a brand. The way of working — an introduction first, clear agreements, personal attention and discretion — is the standard against which every future addition to Lovicare will be held.
