Hello out there! My name is Laura, I'm a dedicated and compassionate nanny with a background in psychology from Colombia. Im 28 years old and I bring over six years of professional experience working with children of all ages, from infants to teenagers. I’m used to manage things like reflux, colics, introduction to solids, development of motor skills and milestones, I love baby’s!, also I used to take care of big groups at schools as psychologist including kids with special needs. From changing diapers, to managing nap times, playing, reading together, going out for fun activities, vent sessions, you name it! I truly love caring for children and I’m more than comfortable with pets:), I also spent two years as an au pair, where I honed my skills in providing nurturing and supportive care. My expertise in child development and psychology ensures that I can offer not only exceptional care Read more but also educational and emotional support tailored to each child's unique needs. Whether you're looking for someone to engage your little ones with fun activities or to help your teenagers navigate their formative years, I'm here to provide a safe, caring, and enriching environment for your children, I’m more less looking for a full time, but I’m open to nanny share and part time too. Me and my multiple references would be happy to talk with you!

Laura worked with us for a brief time but was caring and compassionate with our 3 month old at a tough time of transition for me going back to work. I was so grateful for her on my return to work. When she transitioned to another job she left us with a heart recommendation to ensure we were in good hands! We are so grateful for the time we had with her!
