About Laurie
Experience: 10 yrs
Hello! For more than 40 years, I've had the joy of caring for children, raising my own, and becoming part of the lives of some truly wonderful families. I am mature, reliable, work with integrity and love, and parents often describe me as calm, patient, sweet, and compassionate. My Background: * Infant specialist, night nanny * Bachelor's degree in Environmental Education * Courses in childhood behavior, nutrition, and health from Harvard, Stanford and Yale * CPR/First Aid trained * A 4-time homeschooling mama, and retired nonprofit professionalg I enjoy providing lots of age-appropriate play, reading, music, outdoor exploration, and field trips when parents desire them. I also adore animals if you have pets! Thank you for visiting my profile! I'd love to learn about your family, your children, and how I might support you. Please see the many lovely reviews from parents I've had the pleasure of working with over the years. Warmly, Laurie
Most recent review
Laurie is an absolutely wonderful nanny! She started watching our daughter when she was around 5 months old, and she was so good with her. She is warm and kind, playful, and very sweet. She made sure our daughter got outdoor time every day (stroller walks, backyard playtime), helped us start introducing solid foods, provided helpful suggestions for age-appropriate toys and activities, and made creative use of the toys/books/etc we already have. She was very clear in all of her communication with us, followed our systems and instructions well, and provided guidance and suggestions when we asked for them. She is extremely punctual. Laurie started with us during a very challenging period for our baby’s sleep—every nap was a struggle—but Laurie always remained completely calm, even on stressful and chaotic days. She is experienced, kind, and caring. We recommend her very highly!
