About Laura

Experience: 10 yrs

I started babysitting when I was 11. I also had a sister who was 12 years younger than me, so I've spent much of my life caring for children. I had an opportunity to nanny two teenage girls while I attended UW. In 1996, I started my own family. I have two children - a son and a daughter. I spent the better part of their childhood volunteering and/or working at their schools. I vowed I wouldn't take a FT position until both my kids graduated from high school. Well, I achieved that goal. They're both college graduates now. My son owns his own film production company. My daughter is an attorney. I applied at Care. com in January 2015. I've had the opportunity to nanny for 20+ families. I've cared for children of all ages ranging from 3 months to 17 years. In 2016, I decided to take a FT position. I was with them 4+ years until they moved in December 2020. Since then, I've embraced the next chapter of my life by focusing more on unique requests. I'm now back to entertaining all positions.

Our kids absolutely adore Laura, and honestly, so do we. When we hired her at the start of the year, she quickly felt like part of our extended family, earning our trust in no time to care for our little ones. Laura truly has everything you’d hope for in a nanny: • Fantastic with kids: Laura connected with our kids right away, making them feel safe and secure almost instantly. She has this amazing ability to understand and appreciate both our daughter’s and son’s unique personalities and interests. They’re always happily engaged when she’s around—and honestly, they can’t wait for her next visit! • Safe and dependable: We’ve never had to worry about Laura being late or not showing up—she’s as reliable as they come. And when it comes to safety, she’s incredibly mindful, like always ensuring the kids use booster seats when driving anywhere. It’s such a relief knowing they’re in good hands. • Great communicator: Laura keeps us in the loop, sharing updates and letting us know what the kids are up to. We’ve always known where they were and what they were doing, which gave us so much peace of mind. Laura has been beyond perfect for our family, and we’d wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for someone warm, caring, and trustworthy to look after their kids. She’s not just an amazing nanny; she’s become part of our family. We’re forever grateful for the wonderful care she’s given to our children.
