Experience: 20 yrs
For over 14 years, I've been dedicated to nurturing children's growth and making a positive impact on their lives. My passion lies in providing reliable childcare and supporting families. I am patient, creative, and friendly, and I'm comfortable enforcing household rules. I enjoy playing outdoor games, board games, and educational activities with children. I have some graduate school experience and am comfortable caring for up to four children of all ages, including those with special needs. I am happy to help with cooking, light housekeeping, crafts, and swimming supervision. I communicate with parents through verbal updates and text or phone calls, always following your preferred method.. I look forward to bringing my experience and love for childcare to your family. I have excellent references!
Laura came into our lives in 2022 and has lovingly cared for primarily our youngest daughter and home since then. I can't possibly recommend her highly enough. She is someone who will exceed any expections you could dream up. I agree with everything in the prior reviews. First and foremost, she showed genuine warmth and love to my daughter. She was a confidante and always insightful with her responses and advice. My daugter has a deep bond with her and loves her like a second mother. I initially thought Laura would pick my daughter up from school and drive her to her activities with some light housekeeping in between. Without my asking, she would do anything that she noticed needed to be done at in the house - laundry, cooking full meals or prepping the ingredients I needed for a recipe I was making, grocery shopping , errand running, plant care and anything else that would catch her eye. She is someone with boundless energy and doesn't like to sit still. She genuinely believes that if you are paying her, she needs to be doing something productive for you and she will make that happen. Thanks to her, every summer we've had a fresh herb garden and flowers growing. She raised three successful children that she is very close to and has treated our children and home as if they were her own. In addition to all of this she is punctual and reliable and always cheerful and positive. I can't possibly say enough good things about her. My daughter recently got her license so we no longer need the same care for her otherwise we would continue to work with Laura forever. She has been an absolute blessing to our family.
