Hi, I'm Laura! Childcare has always been a passion of mine. I started babysitting at the age of 10 which led to me working in my church nursery at the age of 15. In high school I completed 2 years of child development, 1 year of psychology, and 2 years of sign language. After I graduated high school, I got my CDA (Child Development Associate) while I worked for 1 full school year as a lead teacher in a preschool class of children ages 3 and 4. I then started working for a center where I was the lead teacher of an infant class ages 6 weeks - 12 months and really furthered my education and experience with Infant Development. Fast forward to 2023 I gave birth to my first born and have been dedicated to being a stay at home mom. My daughter is now almost 2 and I Read more am eager to pursue my passion but on a more 1 on 1 setting as a nanny. I would love an opportunity that would allow me to bring my little with me to join in on the fun. I am a big believer in hands on play and educational/developmental activities. Little ones are so eager to learn even if they can't express it yet! That's just a little bit about me! I look forward to getting to know you and your little one!
