Hi! My name is Laura Libby, and I am 21 years old. I am a senior at the University of Vermont, majoring in Communications Sciences and Disorders, hoping to be a speech-language pathologist or audiologist. I am originally from southern Maine, 40 minutes outside of Portland. My favorite things are dogs, food, babies, and old music. I want to help parents needing extra support with their kids during the school year and summer. For the past year, I have babysat for four families, ages ranging from 1-8 years old. In the summer, I had the pleasure of being a behavioral interventionist at Essex Westford School District in the summer program. Back in Maine, I was a caregiver to the older generation at Home Instead in Wells, Maine. I currently am an audiology assistant at the Luse Center at UVM.
