Experience: 10 yrs
Nurturing young minds and supporting families is my passion. For the past 15 plus years, I've had the privilege of caring for children aged six-weeks to 36 months. My approach is patient and calm, creating a safe and engaging environment where children can thrive. I am comfortable caring for up to four children at a time. I have a college degree, as well as First Aid Training, CPR Training, and Early Childhood Education (ECE) coursework. I am also a certified teacher. I enjoy playing outdoors with children. I am happy to help with light meal preparation, light housekeeping, and crafts. I always follow parents' preferred communication methods. Enforcing household rules is something I'm very comfortable with. I am fully vaccinated, a non-smoker, have a valid ODL, and clean driving record. I hope to bring my experience and love for childcare to your family.
We had a wonderful experience with Laura as a caregiver for our kid. She is consistently punctual, reliable, and professional in her approach. What truly stands out is the genuine care and affection she shows toward children. She naturally connects with them by thinking from their perspective and fully engaging in their activities. She doesn’t just supervise—she actively participates and immerses herself in playtime, making it both enjoyable and meaningful for the child. Our kid especially loves spending time with her, whether it’s playing with bubbles or enjoying outdoor activities. It’s clear that Laura creates a warm, nurturing, and stimulating environment. I highly recommend Laura to any family looking for a dependable and compassionate caregiver.
