Meet Laurel

  • Comfortable with pets
  • Has a car

Hello! My name is Laurel and I'm a California native, born in the Bay Area, then I moved to Truckee with my family. After attending UC Berkeley for undergrad and grad school, I found an awesome job as a technical writer at a biotech company and moved to the South Bay. I like to babysit on weekends and weeknights for date nights and occasional babysitting. I can also stay with your children overnight on Fridays and Saturdays. I have at least a decade of babysitting experience, and I am a very loving person with a huge, warm smile. I am funny, attentive, and playful. I'm happy to care for pets and do light cleaning and cooking. Thanks for your consideration; I'm happy to respond to any questions by email and can provide recommendations upon request.

Laurel took very good care of our boxer, Macey, and made sure to check in with us during our time away. I would definitely use her services again!

We had a great experience with Laurel and we will definitely have her come back as much as we can! She put our minds at ease immediately by asking thoughtful questions about our parenting style and guidelines for our kids. She has great common sense and lots of experience. With the kids she was warm and funny and totally engaged. They loved that she got silly with them and really listened to what they had to say. As long as Laurel is available we won't be looking for anyone else.
