Looking for work as a babysitter or nanny

  • 27 years paid experience
  • Babysitter in Wayne, PA 19087

Meet Laura Joan

  • Speaks English and French
  • Comfortable with pets

I have 27+ years experience, with ages 1.5-11, great references, degree in art therapy from NYU (understanding of special needs), professional artist by degree also. My love of creativity and intellectual pursuits really stimulates the children I care for to explore the same. They often do unusually well in school and/or creative pursuits. Due in part to being a native New Yorker, artist, and environmentally conscious person, I do not drive but have spent all these years easily getting myself to work via train, bus, walking, or rides.
