Hello! My name is Laura, and I have 4 kids named Emily (16), Austin (14), Jax (10) & Aiden (6)! I am a single mother currently working part time as a dental assistant in Gahanna. I truly enjoy taking care of children, as well as spending time with my own. Personally--I enjoy the company of kids more than I do most adults!! They tend to be a lot more fun, honest & genuine. I also do not believe in physically punishing children, let alone punishing someone else's child. As that is a line as a mother I would not want crossed with my own kids. I believe in treating children of all ages with the respect and kindness I want to receive from others, so I try to get them a reasonable amount of responsibility and trust depending on age. We can discuss your rules and expectations as a parent Read more prior to service if you feel necessary. My work currently alternates from 3-4 days a week Mon-Thur-- and ONE week with only 2 days since our Orthodontist travels weekly to Mansfield. Since I have 4 kids of my own, I would prefer watching your children at our home, as I cannot leave my youngest ones unattended without a sitter. We also have more than enough space for at least 3-4 extra kiddos to crash when overnights are requested. We have bunk beds and our giant wrap around couch in our living room! We're a fun, safe, smoke and drug free household! And if planned in advance-- arrangements may be able to be made in order for me to come to your home if needed. I'd love the opportunity to meet and discuss watching your little one(s)!! Thanks for your time and consideration!
