About Laura
Experience: 10 yrs
COVID-19 vaccinated
Hey I'm Laura. I have an early childhood studies background and have taught in preschools and have been in childcare for over 15 years. I was a foster mom for 3 years and had kiddos from 6 weeks to 16 years of age, some with behavioral challenges that needed redirecting and a little more love and patience. I have expertise being a newborn specialist and doing overnight care. I also have experience with infant routines, breastfeeding, potty training, dietary needs, and speech and learning delays . I'm currently a certified youth club soccer coach and enjoy being busy and active. I'm CPR/First Aid certified . Im also working on my certification to become an registered behavioral technician. Please feel free to contact me with any questions, I'd love to meet you.

Laura is an amazing human! She has been with us since Feb 2022, wow almost a year! L turns 1 This month! Laura is attentive, friendly, dependable, and all of those positive words that describe an amazing soul! She is so good with L and L loves her. She will always be part of L's life no doubt. She has helped us stay organized in so many ways as well. She food preps for L too being mindful of her food allergies. She reads to L, sits on the ground and fully interacts with her. L goes on outings with her and I trust her completely. Please feel free to contact me personally for more information. Thank you!
