Meet Laura: A nanny and babysitter in Toorak, VIC

Dear Families,

I am enthusiastic about the opportunity to support your family and provide nurturing, reliable care. With 13 years of experience in long day care working with children under five, and 15 years as a private nanny supporting children up to age 14, I bring warmth, patience, and empathy to every role. I am passionate about supporting children of all abilities and pride myself on building strong, trusting relationships with both children and their families to ensure holistic and consistent care.

I have extensive experience fostering children’s emotional, social, and developmental growth, including supporting those with additional needs. I focus on creating environments where children feel safe, confident, and included, and I work collaboratively with families to provide compassionate, individualised, and consistent care tailored to each child.

I do not currently hold a driver’s licence; however, I am very confident and comfortable walking with children and using public transport when appropriate. I prioritise safety, close supervision, and thoughtful planning when travelling. I also enjoy using public transport as a meaningful learning opportunity — helping children explore their wider community, develop independence, and build confidence navigating the world around them.
