I’m an experienced nanny and educator serving families throughout Los Angeles and the South Bay. I currently work as a substitute teacher while completing my Early Childhood Education coursework through UCLA and pursuing my TK credential, and I am seeking a consistent part-time, weekday position (M–F, approximately 8am–3pm), ideally supporting an infant or young child in the home. I hold a degree in Developmental Psychology from UCSB and have been caring for children since my teenage years. My background includes nannying, live-in au pair work with infants, supporting families with multiples, tutoring children with learning differences, and working as a mother’s helper and household assistant. I’m comfortable assisting with feeding schedules, gentle sleep support, developmental play, stroller walks, light baby-related tidying, organization, errands, and keeping the home running smoothly during the day. As both a teacher and a mom to a Montessori preschooler, I bring a calm, structured, and nurturing Read more presence into the home. I believe in responsive caregiving, respectful communication, and creating a secure environment where children feel safe to explore and grow. With infants, I focus on connection, routine, and early developmental foundations; with older children, I love incorporating art, baking, outdoor play, and hands-on learning. I’m reliable, organized, pet-friendly, and comfortable supporting light household tasks alongside childcare. I have dependable transportation (Audi electric SUV) and can provide a car seat if needed.

Laura was a wonderful babysitter who put my wife and I at ease leaving our baby for the first time. She was prompt in her arrival and super communicative throughout the entire evening. We highly recommend Laura for any opportunities and look forward to booking her in the future!
