Hello my name is Laura, I am 53 years old and very interested in your job posting. A little bit of my history: Before teaching at the LMUCC, I worked as a substitute teacher for Child Care Careers where I worked with children of all ages, ranging from infancy to school age. I have an A.A. in Early Childhood Education from Cerritos College. I have five children of my own, three boys and two girls. I spent over fifteen years as a volunteer teacher, parent mentor; and served on the parent board for Delta Sigma Theta Headstart State Preschool and I am entering my eleventh year as a teacher at LMUCC. I enjoy spending time with my family, singing, reading, cooking and traveling. I am CPR certified and RIE Certified, a non-smoker as well as have a clean driving record. I’d be happy to provide references as well as meet Read more or chat on the phone. Looking forward to hearing from you and I wish you the best of luck with your search! See reference letter below: 4A Penington Road Beaconsfield, Bucks HP9 1ET UK April 2020 Dear Sir/Madam, Re: Laura Robbs – childcare. I am writing to let you know that we employed Ms Robbs on a weekly basis to look after our children from 2009-2015. She was a superb babysitter. Extremely reliable and trustworthy. Laura’s extensive professional experience in childcare showed through from the start when she cared for our first child who was only an infant at the time. She was able to understand our child’s routine and manage any changes to this without difficulty. She also provided wonderful stimulation to our child as needed. As our family and children grew, Laura became an invaluable resource for us. She was caring, creative and appropriately challenging to our two children as needed. She was also wonderful at conflict resolution if problems arose between the siblings. She would help the children to work through any issues, thus enabling them to learn these skills for themselves to use in the future. The children absolutely loved spending time with Laura. We genuinely could not have asked for a better minder for our children. We would recommend Laura without hesitation or reservation, to anyone seeking a nanny or babysitter. Yours Faithfully Sally Lennon
