Hi parents! I'm Laura, and early childhood education has been my passion since I was 16! That's when I knew I wanted to dedicate my life to working with children. It all started with babysitting for my next-door neighbor, which led to volunteering in schools and spending more time around children throughout high school. In college, I gained invaluable experience observing classrooms, creating lesson plans, and learning from my mistakes under the guidance of experienceteachers. In my early 20s, I began my journey as a nanny, and it was then that I truly discovered the joy and fulfillment of being a caregiver. I love helping parents simplify their lives, seeing children happy and engaged, and creating successful, joyful days. Being around children, seeing their smiles, and engaging in creative activities brings me immense satisfaction! I'm reliable, have my own transportation, and especially love doing arts and crafts with kids. I'm Read more excited to connect with families who are looking for a caring and dedicated individual.
