About Laurie

Hi! I am a recent empty nester dedicated to nurturing children's development. With 12 years in higher education as well as several years of childcare plus speech and language pathology therapy experience, I have a strong foundation in child development, backed by my undergraduate degree in psychology/child development. I prioritize clear communication with parents taking their lead. I am active and love the outdoors. Games and activities are always going to be fun but will also foster growth and development. I just relocated to Phoenix from Flagstaff and while I am seeking to build a business in the evenings, I would love to support a family and care for one or two kiddos as I know how much caring for little ones fills my soul and It was huge help for me to have a nanny when I was a working Mama! If you are seeking a knowledgeable, responsible and fun childcare provider, I welcome the opportunity to discuss how I can support your family.
