Hi, my name is Laura, I’m 34 years old and originally from Germany. I recently moved to the Bay Area together with my husband. I speak German, English, and a little Spanish. I’ve always enjoyed caring for children - I’ve looked after my sister’s little one, my two godchildren (twins), and other kids from family and friends. I also have experience teaching both individual and group tutoring sessions, so I’m comfortable managing several kids at once and happy to help with homework and studying. Families know me as warm, kind, and dependable. I love spending time with kids - whether it’s playing, reading, helping them learn, or coming up with fun activities. I’m also glad to help with errands, cooking, meal-prep or house-sitting, so you can feel completely at ease when I’m around. I’d love to support your family and make things a little easier for you!

“Laura is wonderful. She was on time and super great with our six month old. Our baby seemed comfortable with her right away. She played with her, got her to sleep, fed her, and took her on a nice long walk. I’m so glad we found Laura! ”

Booked by 1 family in Saratoga, CA

Over the years, I have worked for two different families as a nanny. I worked with one family exclusively for nearly seven years. I watched the child grow from 9 months old to 7 years of age. It was an incredibly rewarding position for me. We will always have a special bond. I also have experience with senior care. I was the sole caregiver for my own grandmother after she was diagnosed with dementia. I currently look after my elderly mother. I love dogs. I have two of my own. I take great pride in how I care for them. They are senior dogs, but still healthy and active as can be. My strengths are my compassion, empathy, patience, and attention to detail. I have a passion for helping others.

"We absolutely LOVE Isa — our family was so fortunate to have found her through UrbanSitter. I'm a first-time mom, and it took me a long time to find a full-time nanny I could trust to care for our sweet infant boy. Our boy connected with her immediately, and we couldn't have asked for anyone else to care for him. Her calming presence was also perfect for parents like us who work from home. We feel so lucky UrbanSitter helped us find someone who has truly become a part of our family."

"I was so stressed about finding a part-time nanny for my 14-month-old son, who has moderate separation anxiety and hadn't been left with anyone but family before, but we were both immediately at ease in Buhay's presence. Her empathy and commitment to understanding child development are apparent in every interaction I've witnessed between her and my toddler. I feel very lucky to have found her."

"Erna watched our now 5 year old daughter and 3 year old son for a few years. She is punctual, responsible, honest, and playful. What we appreciated most was that she was thoughtful in ensuring that we had a little break; for example, when the kids were clingy, she was able to divert their attention with games or songs or walks to the park. We felt very comfortable leaving our kids with Erna because of her caring nature and experience that spans a decade (including being a live-in nanny)."
