About Laurie
Experience: 10 yrs
Seasoned professional with 10+ years experience in child care and home management. I have a passion for working with children and a commitment to their safety and well-being. I love singing and talking to babies and digging in the dirt and jumping in mud puddles with toddlers. Expertise includes multiple facets of child care with an emphasis on newborn and toddler care, early childhood development and home and life management services. Demonstrated track record in care and enrichment of children. Natural ability with children, treating them with respect and tenderness while being firm and unwavering in setting expectations. Maintains composure under pressure, projecting a calming effect on my environment. Strong family focus and rapport building with children. I'm a team player and appreciate autonomy. I'm energetic, positive with a good sense of humor. I partner with parents to raise happy, confident kids while helping the family and home run as smoothly as possible.

Laurie cares for the girls effortlessly: she follows nap schedules, prepares bottles and meals, plans and executes different activities, focuses on interactive play, and takes the girls on outings. While balancing all these duties, she is also able to help around the house. Each day Laurie leaves our home, our house is cleaner, and our girls are happier. What makes Laurie more special than most people you could employ is her unfailing kindness, her incredible patience, and deep passion in what she does. Just by her nature, Laurie not only helped our girls grow, but she nurtured them to become good and kind people.
