Hi, I'm Lara. I'm a 34-year-old creative professional who has recently relocated to Canberra and is looking for additional work in childcare alongside my main career.
I hold a Certificate III in Children's Services and have over 10 years of experience babysitting, nannying and working in early childhood settings. I've cared for children from 18 months through to primary school age, including after school care, and have experience supporting children with additional needs through inclusive and adaptive approaches to play and daily care.
My approach is calm, kind and grounded in learning through play and creativity. I'm available for casual and regular bookings including weekends, and am comfortable with school pick-ups, preparing dinner and bedtime routines.
I have a Cavoodle of my own, so pet-friendly households are very much welcome.
