About Laura

I'm a creative, vibrant, and experienced caregiver who's passionate about fostering children's growth and making a positive impact on their lives. I have over 30 years of experience working with children of all ages (teacher, nanny, pool manager, YMCA and YWCA adult and youth fitness programs), and I'm comfortable enforcing household rules and communicating with parents about their child's day. I hold a Master's Degree in Early and Middle Childhood Education. Play is an important part of my educational philosophy. I'm happy to help your child(ren) acquire a love for activity, both creatively and physically. I have previously taught and been certified in First Aid and CPR. I'm organized, efficient, empathetic, and an active listener. I believe in lifelong learning, and I'm always looking for new ways to improve my skills and knowledge. 2016 Ohio Elementary Social Studies Teacher of the Year. Available part or full-time.
