Hello there, my name is Laura Gillespie, and I have been a nanny for almost 10+ years, also specializing in special needs. I live in Morgan Hill, near East Dunne & Hill Rd. I have been off work for for a few months now, as my mom passed. I am now looking to get back to work soon, and do what I really enjoy, working with children. I love children, and have 2 boys myself, Shane & Austin ages 16 & 20. To describe myself, I would say I'm an extremely patient person, positive, reliable, energetic, fun, responsible, adventurous, and flexible. I love working with children, and helping them grow & learn, in a fun & positive way. I love to read to them, do crafts, teach cooking/baking, homework, & go to parks & fun places. I do have references, as well. I am also taking my time to look Read more for a family, as I am in no rush. Finding a family that is a good match is important. I was making $23 an hour at my last job, but am negotiable. I wanted to be upfront about that. Good, honest child care is important. If you would like to meet in person & chat, I would love to see if this is a match! Thanks so much & take care, Laura G.
