About Maria
Experience: 10 yrs
Hi, my name is Maia Laura, but you can call me Laura. I'm a dedicated childcare provider with over 15 years of experience. My journey has been shaped by a love for nurturing little ones and creating safe, joyful environments where they can thrive. My background includes 12 years as an Early Childhood Teacher Assistant, 10 years leading summer camps for ages 4 to 8, and caring for siblings with love and patience. I also raised my daughter as a single mother-a journey that taught me resilience and the value of authentic connection. She's now thriving in college! In 2022, I earned a Birth-to-Seven Waldorf Certification, which informs my holistic, mindful approach to childcare. While my focus is on nurturing children, I also understand how important it is for parents to feel connected to themselves. I founded the Soulful Parenting Group to help parents strengthen their inner light and create harmony at home. I'd love to care for your little ones and support your family's journey!

Laura is a wonderful caregiver! She is kind and caring and knowledgeable. She understands child development and creates a gentle and nurturing environment for young children. She is loving when it comes to discipline and creates a strong structure of healthy boundaries for children in her care. In addition, Laura is a wonderful vegan cook and very hard working. She is helpful and supportive and an active helper in the household. I can't recommend her enough!
