Experience: 10 yrs
Nurturing young minds is my passion. For the past 20 years, I've dedicated myself to providing exceptional care for children aged 0-3 years of age. My background includes a college degree, coursework in Early Child Development, and certification as a teacher. I am also certified in First Aid and CPR. I'm known for my patient, calm, creative, and friendly nature. I believe in fostering a fun and educational environment through games that promote learning. I am happy to follow your lead regarding household rules and preferred communication methods, offering verbal updates or texts to keep you informed. I am comfortable caring for two children at a time and can assist with cooking, light housekeeping and crafts. Supporting families and making a positive impact on children's lives brings me immense joy, and I look forward to the opportunity to connect with you and your little one.
Laura is an amazing asset for child care! She is trained in Montessori and specializes in ensuring the well being of the child (children) and the family. She demonstrates this every day when she helps children learn, play, and develop strong emotional skills. She helped guide both our children and our family as we navigated what it is to be a family: new developments, new phases, new structures, ect. We were blessed to have Laura work with our family from the time my son was 3 months old - He is now 10 and my daughter 7. She was so amazing, that I checked to see if she was willing to stay with our family before committing to having our second child. If our kids had not grown up, and we had not moved away, I would still want Laura to be with our family.
