About Laurie

I have cared for many children, some with special needs, both in my home, as well as in the children's homes for over 30 years, ages 3 months old up to 14 years old. I also worked as a co-educator at the Gan Hayeled Nursery School in Washington, DC in the 2-year-old and 3-year-old classrooms. While at the Gan, I received both CPR and First Aid training, as well as studied Early Child Development. I currently work for Montgomery County Public Schools as a One on One paraeducator for a child with special needs. English is my first language but I speak Spanish fluently and know some Arabic and basic ASL. I studied both Spanish and ASL at Montgomery College in Rockville, Md. My own children and I love the arts, Music, Theater and Dance, as well as outdoor activities such as camping, hiking and fishing, and we love animals.
