Hello! I'm Laura, a reliable, nurturing nanny with 16+ years of childcare experience, caring for children from newborns to 13 years old. My journey began in Colombia as a daycare teacher assistant, where I discovered my passion for helping children learn, grow, and thrive. I participated in the Education First (EF) Au Pair Exchange Program in New York, gaining hands-on experience with an American host family and earning a Child Development & Behavior Management Certificate. I specialize in infant and toddler care, creating a safe, loving, and engaging environment through Montessori-inspired activities, play-based learning, reading, and practical life skills. I have experience with sleep routines, potty training, developmental milestones, Baby-Led Weaning (BLW), and Baby Sign Language. I'm CPR & First Aid Certified, fluent in English and Spanish, great driving record. My goal is to provide compassionate, dependable, high-quality care while giving parents peace of mind.
We cannot recommend Laura highly enough. She has been a wonderful and deeply valued part of our family for the past three years. During her time with us, she provided exceptional care for both of our daughters with genuine love, patience, and expertise. Laura was with our older daughter for a full year, helping us navigate crucial developmental stages like baby-led weaning. She was also an incredible help whenever the children were sick, offering support and care when we needed it most. Beyond that, she stepped in to care for our younger daughter for several months around six months old. The handmade toys she occasionally made for our older daughter perfectly reflect her dedication and love for her work. We recommend her highly to any family.
