Lara watched my one-year old for an evening. We had never met her so she offered to come by the day before for a quick chat. My little one quickly approved of her, trusting her immediately. I had a good feeling, too. Lara is approachable and easy to work with. The evening was smooth. She played with my son as soon as she arrived and she sent us updates throughout the evening. We would definitely choose Lara to watch our little one again!
