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.
