I have had a career as a nanny since 1998 and I absolutely love what I do. In January 2016 I gave birth to my son.. Working with children is my real passion in life. I have a BA in Psychology and I also have my license as a Vocational Nurse. I have cared for all ages from newborn to teen. I have worked for families with one child as well as large families. I spent 12 years living and working in San Francisco. I also spent many years working as a nanny in the East Bay. I moved back to Walnut Creek in 2014 . I know my way around the East Bay very well. I have lots of fun ideas for places to go on outings, as well as enriching classes to attend. I enjoy engaging children in all sorts of activities such as singing, reading, make believe play and art projects. I still have as big of an imagination as I did as a child and believe it is important for children to tap into that.

Laura who was the nanny for our daughter for one year. Throughout the time she cared for our daughter she demonstrated herself as dedicated, affectionate, and dependable individual. Laura began caring for our daughter when she was 9 months old. As most first-time parents are, we were nervous about leaving our daughter with someone else to care for her but Laura quickly put as at ease. It became clear very fast that she is a seasoned caretaker and truly loves being with children. She showed our daughter the love, care, and attention that we were looking for. Throughout our time with Laura, she nurtured her development, read books, went outside for daily walks (weather permitting), went on special trips (Lindsay Museum, the park), and made sure her daily needs were always met. Laura cared for her daughter like she was her own. There was never a time we felt our daughter was not in the right hands. Laura has good judgment and makes sure you are aware of anything important related to your child. If you’re looking for someone to provide the level of care that you would provide to your own child, you can expect this from Laura.
