About Laina

Nurturing a child's curiosity and watching them reach new milestones is my greatest professional passion. With multiple years of experience caring for children ages one to five, I prioritize creating a supportive, reliable environment for your family. My approach is defined by patience, creativity, and a calm demeanor. I hold a graduate degree in Social Work and I have worked multiple years in the public school system. I also have a 6-year-old and college aged daughter. Raising them informs how I engage with your little one. Whether we are playing board games, solving puzzles, or heading outside for physical activity, I focus on fostering growth through play. I am happy to assist with light housekeeping, carpooling, and crafts. I am also a skilled swimmer and will prioritize safety during water play. I have held CPR training and First Aid certifications in the past and plan to recertify. I look forward to following your lead to ensure your child feels right at home with me.
