About Laura
Experience: 7 yrs
Hello dear families - I'm Laura and I'm the perfect babysitter for your little ones! I'm an active, kind and very patient person, which allows me to easily connect with children of all ages. Thanks to my background in psychology. I have a deep understanding of children's emotional needs and love creating a warm and safe environment where they can feel calm and heard. I have experience working with children ages 3 to 16 in various foundations in my country, which has helped me develop skills to handle different situations and remain calm, even in challenging moments. Although I can be a little introverted at times, I know how to be fun and creative when it comes to games and activities, always respecting each child's interests and pace. If you're looking for someone responsible, understanding, and who can provide high - quality care for your children, I would be happy to be their babysitter!

Having Laura in our lives has been a real relief. My 6-year-old son is a very active and energetic child, and finding someone who could keep up with him was a priority for us. Laura not only met our expectations, she exceeded them. On the weekends, she stayed home with him while my husband and I had our date nights, and she even stayed overnight when necessary. My son adored her. Plus, she knew how to handle those “energy bursts” that children his age tend to have, with patience and a lot of empathy. I loved that she always made sure everything was in order when we got home, from dinner to bedtime. My son was always calm and well cared for, which gave us total peace of mind. I recommend Laura without reservation. She is reliable, responsible, and has a special connection with children that is hard to find.
