Laura Klenz

For the past six years, I was a full-time nanny for a family in Cleveland, Ohio caring for all three of their children since birth.

My fiancé and I recently moved to Irvine California for a job transfer and I am now looking for a new family to call me their Mary Poppins.

I have more than 10-years of full-time experience with infants, toddlers, and school-aged children, with a special place in my heart for newborn care.

I am passionate about teaching, baby sign language, to children and their families to encourage early communication.

I received training at the English Nanny and Governess School In Chagrin Falls Ohio. I also have experience caring for deaf, wheelchair-bound and special needs children.

I enjoy engaging the children I care for with creative play, musical activities, imaginative arts and crafts, fun educational games and so much more.

If this sounds like something you want for your children, I would love to discuss the opportunity to work with you.
