Recruiters Comments

Laura presents as a warm, reliable, and highly capable candidate with strong infant and toddler care experience. Her Montessori background and bilingual skills (English and Spanish) add real value for families seeking both childcare and early education support.

She is consistent in following routines, highly organised, and confident with positive behaviour strategies, making her well-suited for families who value calm structure and emotional guidance.

Her only limitation is availability (Monday–Thursday) and a preference for locations closer to the CBD due to transport. Within these parameters, she is an excellent fit and a strong candidate to recommend to families.

Candidates Comments

“I enjoy working closely with families to provide calm, consistent, and nurturing care. I follow routines carefully, supporting children with feeding, sleep, and daily structure, while creating engaging, screen-free activities that help them learn and grow.

When children are unsettled or defiant, I use patience, discussion, and gentle distraction, understanding that their emotions are part of development. I make my time with children exciting by introducing new activities and play ideas, helping them build trust and feel comfortable in my care.

I am currently seeking a position closer to the CBD, available Monday to Thursday. My goal is always to support families with reliability, clear communication, and a genuine commitment to their children’s wellbeing.”
