I am a nanny with 16 years of experience, a Child Development major from Valley College, and a certified paraprofessional by the State of California. Availability: The second week of July, as the baby I currently care for will be starting daycare. I started with her at birth and she will be 9 months old in July. Specialization: I specialize in one-on-one care for infants aged newborn to 6 months, with over 12,000 hours of experience caring for newborns to 12 years old. Qualifications: Residing in Studio City, I am Covid, Flu, and Tdap vaccinated/boosted. Additionally, I am First Aid certified, a non-smoker, and comfortable with pets. Approach: My passion lies in child development and play. I love to sing and be silly encouraging listening and responding. My background in child development and photography gives me a special talent for observing and understanding children. I excel at keeping them safe Read more while helping them explore and interpret their world. I pay close attention to what interests the child, following their eyes and allowing them to explore their environment with all their senses. I lean towards the teachings of Magda Gerber, focusing on treating children with respect and clear communication. Examples include: * Telling the child what you are going to do before you do it. * Talking in simple, direct sentences as though they understand. * Explaining what is happening. * Waiting for a response to give them time to process. Rate: $27-30 per hour depending on hours. I’m looking for 30-35 hours a week.

Our nanny has been an incredible addition to our family. She is exceptionally patient, caring, and encouraging, qualities that have made a significant positive impact on our daughter's development. Every time she arrives, our daughter lights up with joy, a testament to the strong bond they have formed. In addition to her wonderful personality, she is extremely reliable and punctual. Her timely nature ensures that our schedule runs smoothly. Furthermore, her excellent communication skills keep us well-informed and confident in the care she provides. We couldn't be happier with her and highly recommend her to any family seeking a dedicated and loving caregiver.

Laurie watches my 9-month-old son once a week. She is very sweet and attentive, always takes him for walks and loves to get down on the floor and play with him. He's all smiles when I get home! We are so happy we found her.
