About Lori
Experience: 10 yrs
COVID-19 vaccinated
I currently work for a family with a 3-year-old boy and a 5-year-old girl. When I began the baby boy was1month old, the girl was 2 years old. I joyfully care for their daily needs and nurture and teach them. We read stories, go on nature walks, create art, play, learn and do local field trips. They will both be in school full day, thus I will be needed for less hours. Before that I worked for a family of four with 2 boys 5 and 7years. I taught them and worked on their schooling during covid. After homework was done we engaged in an array of activities. My career for 20 years was as an Account Executive. I had children late in life and decided to stay home with them as I traveled frequently. In summers I hosted a Mom Camp, invited neighborhood children over for activities ie:tie dying, painting, story time, nature walks. My degree is in teaching with an art certification and special needs minor. I substitute taught for 7 years in K-5 classrooms, Art class and autistic children.

We started with Lori when our son was just a newborn and our daughter was a little over a year old. Lori took wonderful care of our children for nearly four years, becoming an invaluable part of our family. She is incredibly kind, caring, and always attentive to details. Her reliability and great communication gave us constant peace of mind. Our kids adored her, whether they were creating art projects, playing games, or running around outdoors. Lori has an amazing energy that she easily matches to any age group, making every day fun and engaging for the children. Beyond being a great caregiver, Lori is also a good cook. She consistently prepared delicious, healthy meals for our kids, ensuring they were well-fed and happy. One of the sweetest moments was seeing how excited our kids, especially our son, were when Lori arrived—they would run to the door with big smiles, thrilled to see her. Lori's nurturing spirit and genuine love for children made her an extraordinary nanny, and we feel so fortunate to have had her care for our little ones. We highly recommend Lori to any family looking for someone who is not only a skilled professional but also a true friend to the children.
