About Lara

Experience: 12 yrs

COVID-19 vaccinated

I'm a childcare provider with a deep passion for nurturing the growth and development of young minds. With over 12 years of experience, I've had the privilege of caring for children of diverse age groups, from toddlers to preteens. I believe in creating a safe, stimulating environment for children to thrive, and I'm CPR and First Aid certified for their well-being. My patient, calm, and creative personality allows me to connect with children easily, building strong and trusting relationships. I value open communication with parents and provide regular updates about their child's day. I'm also very comfortable enforcing household rules to ensure a structured and disciplined environment. From outdoor games and physical activities to educational games that foster learning, I love engaging children in a variety of fun and enriching experiences.

Lara is a lifetime friend, she's like a sister to me. She's kind at heart and has a brave spirit. She's very intelligent and willing to patiently teach, she is very goal oriented and determined towards it. I had the chance also to share my au pair year with her, she always took great care of the girls and were always praised for it, and even after her year was finished, she still has contact with the family. I also shared a moment with her as a teacher in our hometown, she always showed exceptional care and responsibility with the children and the classes. And not just as a professional, she's always been a present and caring daughter and she's the heck of a mom!
