"Larissa was really helpful, we spoke about my complex situation and Larissa was able to draw upon personal and professional expertise to ensure she could provide the best advice to me. Larissa took the time to listen to my situation, things that I had considered, and open my eyes to things that I hadn’t thought about. Plus, Larissa is friendly and easy to speak to which is always a bonus. I would recommend this for anyone who is trying to navigate their childcare options”

Can you really afford to miss out on funded childcare?


I am Larissa, a mum of one and a qualified nanny with 15 years’ experience. My vast experience includes working with over 50 children in a diverse range of families in the United Kingdom and New Zealand.

Throughout my engagement with families, I have always been passionate about ensuring that every family have the ideal childcare provider for them.

Childcare is about choosing the right professional, someone (or a team) who is going to be part of your team, who you will work seamlessly together with and support your family now and in the future.

I founded Childcare Guide because there simply wasn’t one ‘go to’ place for parent’s to be supported as they navigate childcare. Where they are empowered to be able to make an informed choice to choose the right childcare, the first time.

The Childcare Guide is just that resource.

As a first time single mum i found that the process of childcare and finding what was right for my little family daunting, but Larissa transformed it into a journey of clarity and empowerment for me. With her extensive knowledge and compassionate guidance, she meticulously explored every avenue, presenting each option with unparalleled insight and care. Larissa's dedication didn't just inform me; it illuminated the path ahead, turning uncertainty into confidence. Thanks to her, I now feel fully prepared and assured in making the best choices when the time comes to placing my daughter in a setting. Larissa is not just a childcare expert; she is a beacon of support and wisdom.
