Laura Izquierdo, the best nanny in town

Hi! My name is Laura, I’m 30 years old and recently settled here for a year with my husband. I come from a big family, so I’ve always been surrounded by children and naturally developed a love for caring for them. Over the years, I’ve worked several times as both a nanny and an au pair in Spain and in Canada, gaining valuable experience with children of different ages and family routines.

I truly enjoy creating a safe, fun, and supportive environment where kids feel comfortable and parents feel at ease. My background has taught me patience, responsibility, and how to balance playtime with structure. I’m also adaptable to each family’s needs and happy to help with daily routines, homework, or simply keeping little ones entertained.

I’d love the opportunity to support your family while I’m here and make your children’s days a little brighter.

Top 10 Tips For Hiring A Valentine's Day Babysitter

1. Book early

Valentine’s Day is a high-demand night for babysitters, so secure someone well in advance.

2. Expect holiday rates

Babysitters often charge extra for special occasions, so budget for a premium.

3. Choose someone trusted

4. Confirm late-night availability

Make sure the sitter is comfortable staying until your return, even if it’s late.

5. Share bedtime routines

Provide clear instructions for dinner, storytime, and bedtime so the evening runs smoothly.

6. Leave fun activities

Stock up on games, crafts, or a movie to keep the kids entertained while you’re out.

7. Plan a simple dinner for kids

Prepare or order something easy the babysitter can serve without stress.

8. Leave emergency contacts

Give them your number, backup contacts, and any medical details they might need.

9. Set house rules

Be clear on snacks, screen time, and bedtime flexibility.

10. Show appreciation

Since they’re working on a date night, consider a bonus, chocolates, or a thank-you note.
