About Laura

Experience: 20 yrs

Hi - I'm Laura! I'm a dual-licensed educator with a Masters degree in Integrated Elementary and Special Education. I've been working with children for over 10 years in a a variety of ways - teaching, Early Education director, nanny! I'd describe my personality as easy going, flexible, and fun! I like working with kids because each day is different. I'm looking for a job that allows me to work with children and foster their imagination and creativity! I started working with kids when I was in high-school. I went to college for education and got my Bachelors and Masters from Wheelock in Boston. In my spare time, I like to read, spend time with my husband and our fur babies. One thing you should know about me is that I am very easy going and I love to help out in any way that I can. My skills include first aid/CPR, specialized education, and a friendly nature.

Laura has worked for us for 5 months, taking care of our now 11-month-old son for 15 hours a week. She is always on time, arrives with a smile, and spreads that smile to the whole family while she is with us. She is intuitive with young children - locks eyes with them and plays instinctively. She is gentle but firm with discipline (the little that we have needed with our son being so young). She has instilled a love of reading in our son by patiently reading to him in a clear but animated voice. She has even taught me a thing or two about baby care, because she has experience from working in a daycare as well as the older sister to several young ones. She is eager to help and will figure out what needs to be done and do it. When she leaves, the baby is happy, changed, fed, and the house is cleaner than when she arrived. I honestly don't know how she does it. I can't recommend her highly enough.
