About Laura

Experience: 10 yrs

I'm an 'educational nanny' who brings books, games, puzzles and activities on a recurring basis, a few times a week. My focus is on play-based learning and creating teachable moments from everyday interactions. Mature, dependable and fit, I am passionate about active learning and engagement because that's what makes children (and parents) happy. For 30 years, I've worked with children as a teacher, after-school program director, parent engagement coordinator and now, as a nanny. I am physically active and understand the importance of flexibility, a sense of humor and confidentiality. I am a retired Certified Elementary Teacher and have great references.

Laura was our nanny for three years and saying I’m grateful for the time we had with her is an understatement. I can still remember calling her references and hearing her referred to as “Mary Poppins incarnate” multiple times. I can say with confidence that is incredibly accurate. Laura is a triple threat- she is a retired educator, past nanny to many families who love her (and still have relationships with her - like us!), and a mom who raised three kids. Consequently, Laura is gifted at providing a rich learning environment, making kids feel safe and nurtured, and helping parents navigate parenthood because she’s been there! If Laura is interested in working with your family, thank the powers that be and hire her now!
