Hello! I've been a Nanny off and on for over 25 years. I prefer it to sedentary office jobs. I've watched kids as young as 8 weeks and cared for humans of all ages! One of my last families had four children, including a set of twins. I'm new to the Coachella Valley!

Laura is an excellent babysitter. She began sitting for my son when he was 3 mo., staying with him all day while I was at work. As a first-time mom, I was nervous about finding a babysitter I would be comfortable with, but I found that in Laura. She is very calm, responsible, and playful and silly with my son. He loves her! She is also very responsive to the individual needs and style of both my son and our home- I always feel like he is getting the best care when he is with her. I would highly recommend Laura to other moms.

We LOVE Laura!! Laura has babysat our toddler several times over the last year and our family just adores her, especially my son. She is prompt and communicative and takes great care of him. She likes to play and be silly and has a great sense of humor. She is always the first person we call when we need a sitter--I can not recommend her highly enough :)
