Meet Laura
- Comfortable with pets
Hello, I’m Laura! I’ve grown up with kids all my life with my parents running an at-home daycare, and having 8 siblings! I’ve also worked as a DSP so I’m also well-versed in those areas too! I also am very good with animals due to my childhood home closely resembling a small zoo. I’ve been told I’m very bubbly and kind, so I’ll try my hardest to entertain and care for you and your family!
