Hi! I'm Isabella. I have extensive experience working with children of different ages, including working as a preschool teacher. I studied Early Childhood Development at Santa Monica College and have additional training in Child Development and care. I'm responsible, attentive, and respectful with children. I believe each child has their own personality, needs, and way of communicating, and I pay attention to that when caring for them. In my free time I enjoy reading, spending time in nature, baking, meditating, and being around the people I love. I'm fluent in English and Portuguese and highly proficient in Spanish.

Booked by 3 families in North Hollywood, CA
Hello! I am a PhD Student in Sociology, where I focus on the sociology of childhood and education. Beyond my research, I have had lots of experience working with kids - casually as a babysitter, but also more formally at a variety of summer camps. I am new to Los Angeles (from London, England) and have enjoyed exploring all the wonderful parks and enjoying the sun. Hope I can do more with your child(ren) sometime soon :)
“Kids immediately warmed to Lara and had such fun playing with her! Will definitely hire again. ”
