About Me

Dear Parents,

My name is Laura, I’m 45 years old and originally from Milan, Italy. I moved to London 8.5 years ago and have worked in Human Resources until January of this year. Alongside my professional background, I am also a qualified Clinical Psychologist, and I’ve recently decided to return to the field of child and adolescent mental health.

This October, I will begin a part-time Master's in Psychodynamic Counselling & Psychotherapy with Children and Adolescents at Birkbeck, University of London. The course requires my attendance one day per week (Mondays in the first year), and I am now looking for a meaningful nanny position from Tuesday to Saturday.

I am available up to 40 hours per week and offer flexibility, reliability, and a caring, thoughtful approach rooted in both psychological insight and a genuine love for working with children. I look forward to supporting a family in a nurturing and positive environment.

Warm regards,
Laura

My Experience

I am a qualified Clinical Psychologist, certified in Italy and a Graduate Member of the British Psychological Society, with a solid background in both clinical and organisational psychology. My early clinical work in a hospital setting focused on supporting adolescents and adults with eating disorders, where I gained hands-on experience in therapeutic interventions, family counselling, and psychological assessments. This helped me develop a deep understanding of emotional and behavioural challenges in young people, including anxiety, mood disorders, and self-esteem issues.

Over the years, I’ve worked closely with children, teens, and families—supporting them through complex emotional experiences and helping build resilience and communication skills. I have also co-led group therapy sessions, often using CBT techniques, which sharpened my ability to guide children through emotional regulation and positive behavioural change in a supportive, non-judgmental way.

Alongside clinical experience, I’ve worked in organisational psychology and HR, roles that strengthened my interpersonal skills and ability to create nurturing, people-centred environments. My ongoing volunteer work at Great Ormond Street Hospital and previous work with Icandance—a charity supporting disabled young people through creative therapy—reflect my strong commitment to child development, inclusion, and emotional well-being.

As a nanny, I bring a calm, warm, and attentive presence, supported by professional training and genuine care for children's mental and emotional growth. I'm passionate about supporting young people in building confidence, independence, and healthy relationships from an early age.

My Qualifications

I hold a Bachelor's degree in Clinical Psychology and a Master's in International Human Resource Management.
This autumn, I will be starting a part-time Master’s in Psychodynamic Counselling & Psychotherapy with Children and Adolescents at Birkbeck
