About Laura

UPDATED APRIL 2023 I am an experienced teacher with a professional level Michigan teaching certificate. I have a B. S. in Child Development from Michigan State University and a M. Ed. in Child and Family Studies from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. I currently work full time at Eastern Michigan University from the end of August through the end of June. I therefore am able to babysit full time for about seven weeks in the summer, but I am only available for occasional babysitting on evenings/weekends during the school year. I have worked with young children of all ages in a variety of settings: I've taught infants, toddlers, and preschoolers in child care centers, I've taught Pre-K in public schools here in Michigan and in North Carolina, and I also taught first grade and kindergarten for several years in North Carolina. In addition, I have many years of babysitting experience. I am happy to provide references upon request. I look forward to meeting you!
