About Laura

Experience: 10 yrs

Hi! I'm Laura, welcome! Extensive nanny, babysitting & tutoring experience for 15+ yrs has shaped my career & childcare skills. Happy to work w/ wide range of ages from newborns-teenagers & every age in between. Worked w/ families in Austin, Loveland, Fort Collins & Denver. Sparking children's imaginations is pure joy. I follow parents' preferences & blend that with my gentle approach. When kids feel safe, it's easier for them to be kind, relax & have fun. Encouraging children to develop self-regulation skills to calm their nervous systems is essential. Graduated CSU w/ Bachelor of Science in Human Development & Family Studies. Currently finishing Masters in Couples & Family Therapy w/ CU Denver. Temporarily living in ATX for 6-12 months & accepting jobs here. Declining offers is usually a scheduling issue. Please connect via chat. I can only send a reply msg if I'm available for the job or you msg 1st. Please reach out if I seem like a good fit for your family!

Laura was lovely and our little guy really enjoyed his time with her. We were in Denver for a long weekend for a friends wedding and hired her for 2 nights. She was easy to communicate with, brings deep experience and loves what she does. Will absolutely hire her again when we come back to Denver. Thank you for the best weekend, Laura!
