I have lifelong experience working with children of all ages and in many different settings including private care, pediatrics and behavioral therapy. I graduated with both a B.A (UCLA) and a M.A (Pepperdine University) in psychology with independent studies in developmental psychology. I utilize my knowledge to foster happy, balanced, and mindful children. Besides my ability to cook healthy food, play with all animals, keep the household organized and drive safely and efficiently in my own car, I will be an advocate for your children and will make their mental and physical well-being my main priority. I place great value on listening to the children and encourage values like empathy, awareness, knowledge, kindness and confidence every day through play, talk and observation. If you are looking not just for a nanny, but a super -role model- nanny (your child's best friend) who understands developmental milestones, healthy nutrition and the importance Read more of creating structure while balancing it with spontaneity and fun, I am your girl. Please contact me for references. I am not comfortable sharing past employer's information on a public website. Did I mention I was discrete? Have a great day! :) Ava Laura

If you are looking for the best nanny ever, look no further! Ava is everything you and your kids could possibly want from a nanny and then ten times more! She has been a life saver to our family -- my kids love her and I know I can count on her. She's reliable, responsible, smart, engaging, neat and fun! But that's just to start. She is also incredibly creative so she can nurture that interest in your kids. She is fit and athletic, so she can foster that interest in your kids. She is neat and organized and can teach your kids those skills. And if that's not enough, she is an AMAZING baker, and can pass on that knowledge too. Any family would be lucky to have her!
