About Laura

Hi families! I am a registered nurse at Upstate Medical. I am excited to help with childcare on my days off. I usually work 3-4 days a week and would love to spend my days off in childcare. I love art, music, and the outdoors. I'd describe my personality as empathetic, artistic, organized. I like working with kids because they possess a creativity and beauty that is hard to find in adulthood. They're always looking for something new and laugh easily. I'm looking for a job that is flexible and provides a 'heads up' if I am needed. I started working with kids when I was 15 through babysitting jobs. My family has many young children and I have always been around to help out. In my spare time, I like to take day trips, paint, play guitar, cool, spend time with family & friends. I enjoy showing children new activities and encouraging them to think about their futures. My skills: organization, flexibility, a medical background (nursing), and empathy.
