Laura's Place

I've worked as a full-time nanny in the Bay Area and Philadelphia since 2010. Now that I have a superstar kid of my own, I am happy to offer affordable, high-quality childcare in my sunny home 2 blocks from the El Cerrito Plaza Bart station.

Offering full and half day care for ages 2 months--4 years, flexible one to three days/week
