Hello, my name is Laura. I grew up in a family of 9 children and being the fourth child born I was raised to help around the help with my siblings. From the time they were little till I moved out when my youngest sister was 9. From the time I was 10 years old I would babysit for local families that my parents were friends with through church. I have cared for as young as under a year old up to the age of 9 years old for both girls and boys. My responsibilities varied depending on which job. I have babysat for date nights and I have also been a stay in nanny for weekends when the parents would go away for a few nights. That involved cleaning, cooking and feeding the children, taking care of the dog and making sure the children stayed in their routine with bathing, taking breathing treatments, and also getting out of the house for their sport of soccer. I now am a mother of a 5-year-old boy and 8-month-old girl. I am happy to offer (in my home) loving care to your own little dears.
