About Laura
Experience: 10 yrs
COVID-19 vaccinated
I started babysitting when I was 11. I also had a sister who was 12 years younger than me, so I've spent much of my life caring for children. I had an opportunity to nanny two teenage girls while I attended UW. In 1996, I started my own family. I have two children, a 27-year-old son and a 25-year-old daughter. I spent the better part of their childhood volunteering and/or working at their schools. I vowed I wouldn't take a FT position until both my kids graduated from high school. Well, I achieved that goal. They're both college graduates now. My son owns his own film production company. My daughter is an attorney. I applied at Care. com in January 2015. I've had the opportunity to nanny for 15+ families. I've cared for children of all ages ranging from 3 months to 17 years. In 2016, I decided to take a FT position. I was with them 4+ years until they moved in December 2020. Since then, I've embraced the next chapter of my life by focusing more on Date Nights and weekend overnighters.

Laura worked as a full time nanny for my children for 5 years- from the time they were 1 and 7 years old until they were 6 and 12. She was a skilled provider for all of these ages and grew into what our family needed as our children grew. Laura is amazing at setting boundaries with children while being loving. She worked with me when the kids were having difficulties to troubleshoot. She always did things as I asked her to, but was willing to provide input from her 20+ years of child-rearing when asked. Laura is responsible and reliable- I cannot remember her ever missing a day of work during our time together. She is organized and kept the kids schedules running (often better than me). She was always willing to go above and beyond, helping out with whatever household tasks needed to be done, often without being asked. She is an excellent driver and would trust her with my children and my car. Most importantly, my children love her dearly and she loves them!
