About Laura

Experience: 3 yrs

Hello! My name is Laura, and I'm a doctoral student studying psychology, specializing in working with children & adolescents. In my spare time, I offer tutoring and babysitting services. I specialize in creating fun, educational activities for children, and I pride myself on being reliable, proactive, and truly engaging with the children through activities such as arts and crafts, scavenger hunts, and reading time. Previously, I worked with a family with two daughters ages three and seven, and I helped with supervision, meal prepping, and managing activities for about two years. I am comfortable with pets, helping with homework, and preparing nutritious snacks. While I am relatively new to babysitting and childcare, my doctoral studies in child psychology give me a unique, science-backed understanding of developmental milestones and gentle communication. I would love to hear more about your family's needs to see how I may be of service. I am happy to provide references upon request!
