About Lara

Experience: 4 yrs

Providing a nurturing and reliable environment for your children is my top priority. With four years of experience, I am dedicated to making a positive impact on the lives of the families I support. My approach is creative and friendly, whether we are playing board games, solving puzzles, or heading outdoors for physical activities. I am happy to handle meal preparation and assist with carpooling or travel needs. I follow your lead regarding household rules and communicate through your preferred method, whether that is a text or a chat at pickup. I am comfortable caring for up to two children ranging from infants to pre-teens. I look forward to the opportunity to become a trusted partner in your child's growth and daily happiness.

One of the top two babysitters we have ever had, (and we have had many). Lara was a dream to work with and my kids (1 and 3 yo) absolutely adore her. My daughter would often say playing with Lara was the best part of her day. Lara helped us out twice a week and took complete control of dinner and bedtime prep, the most chaotic hours of the day. She very capably handled both kids. She is very loving and playful but also firm at the same time, holding boundaries like making sure the kids clean up after themselves. She was engaged with them the whole time she was with them, reading to them, playing and drawing with them. She was also very good around our giant 100 lb dog. Lara was always punctual, very proactive in communicating and just an absolute joy to have around. I could truly switch off during the hours she was with my kids, knowing they were in very capable and loving hands.
