Entering into my senior year as a student-athlete at San Jose State, I'm excited to spend my summer providing exceptional childcare. My positive experiences in previous babysitting roles, coupled with being a middle child, have instilled in me a genuine love for kids. I have three years of experience caring for children of all ages and am comfortable with up to two children at a time. I'm patient, creative, friendly, and very comfortable enforcing household rules. I enjoy playing outdoor sports, board games, and even some technology-based games with children. I prioritize open communication with parents, using verbal updates at pickup or your preferred method. I'm happy to help with cooking, crafts, carpooling, and swimming supervision. I'm eager to bring my energy and enthusiasm to your family this summer and create a fun, nurturing environment for your children.

Booked by 5 families in Mount Hamilton, CA

I’ve over 8 years of experience caring for kids from 6 months to 10 years old, both as a nanny and former Au Pair. I’m CPR certified and experienced with sleep routines, baby-led weaning, potty training, and age-appropriate developmental activities. I currently work full-time (Monday–Friday) with a wonderful family and have been with them for the past 22 months, the little boy is currently two and half years and I have been with him since he was seven months old. I’m now looking for part-time or occasional weekend opportunities to support other families who may need an extra set of hands. I love creating a safe, loving, and fun environment where kids feel comfortable being themselves. Whether it’s crafts, music, dancing, reading, or outdoor play, I enjoy helping kids learn, explore, and grow. I also focus on emotional support, helping little ones understand and express their feelings in a healthy way. I’m happy to assist with children-related tasks like tidying play areas, organizing clothes, preparing meals, and driving to activities or fun outings. I’ve a valid driver’s license and feel very comfortable around pets (I’ve a dog and two kittins). I would love to be that extra helping hand for your family — someone you can trust, rely on, and feel at ease with while your little ones are in caring hands.

Laura was on time and was great with my 9mo old son! Followed directions and everything went smoothly! Will definitely have her back to help with all 3 of my kids!
