This is the background check we require for all caregivers.
Experience: 10 yrs
Child at heart I have been caring for children since I was a young girl and always enjoyed playing/exploring/learning/teaching/caring for the children. Which is why I have done everything from coaching a Special Olympics team to teaching swimming, photography, and English to children. Play options are unlimited - indoor/outdoor, creative, active, reading, cooking... For me the joy is finding what excites each child - and then creating an opportunity for play and learning. Currently, I am writing a children's book series and want to spend more time with kids. I also teach meditation & ESL to children and adults. All ages are a fun and creative challenge for me - always working to keep them safe, happy and learning! Teaching beyond curriculum for me includes: meditation, anti-bullying, RTT Hypnotherapy, ART, Documentary film, Swimming, Languages: Native English Speaker, Advanced Mandarin Chinese, Beginner Japanese, Beginner French. I love to teach & ignite passion for learning!

I can't imagine a more well-rounded and present caregiver than Laura. She genuinely enjoys working with kids and it shows. From the activities she would bring to the patience she exuded. She is so much more than a nanny, even on day one she felt like apart of our family. I was particularly looking for someone who had great boundaries, as my 3 year old is rapidly learning what is allowed or not. Laura was firm yet gentle with her. She created an environment where my daughter was safe, loved and just overall had a lot of fun.
