About Laura
Experience: 10 yrs
COVID-19 vaccinated
I am the mother of 3 children who are now young adults. As a retired occupational therapist, I have a solid understanding of what children need at various developmental stages. I'm an animal lover and a non-smoker. I have my own reliable transportation. I never had anyone I trusted (other than family) to help with my children. I'd like to be the one you could turn to for loving, attentive, engaging care of your little ones. My demeanor is patient, quiet, loving, and fun. I've been caring for 3 children for one family since early 2018, when the youngest was just 12 weeks old; she is now in kindergarten. I have grown to love these children as if they were my own grandchildren. It has been a deeply rewarding experience. As is the nature of things, as these kids have gotten older, they need less of my time. I'm now hoping to provide loving care to other children.

Laura loves my kids like they are her own. She cares about them like a grandmother and my kids love her. She does discipline gently and is always willing to try new things. She is very reliable and is willing to transport kids. She understands that all kids are different and is able to treat them differently when needed. She loves music and animals and will share that love with your children.
