About Lara

With a background in applied psychology and hands-on roles in early childhood education and therapeutic environments, I bring both heart and expertise to every family I work with. I've cared for infants, toddlers, and preschoolers as both a daycare teacher and assistant, planning fun, educational activities while providing dependable care and open communication with parents. My experience as a nanny for children with autism and ADHD has taught me how to tailor care to individual needs, using strategies from occupational therapy to create a calm, supportive space. I'm also trained in child development and have interned in both occupational therapy and psychiatric settings, which has given me strong insight into emotional regulation, communication, and safety. Whether I'm helping with mealtime, planning engaging crafts, or supporting routines and behavior goals, I lead with patience, compassion, and flexibility. I'd love the opportunity to bring my skills and enthusiasm to your family!
