Hi, my name is Laurika! I started babysitting in middle school for the kids in my apartment, and spent several summers in high-school working as a counselor and gymnastics teacher at a circus camp, primarily with preschoolers. The majority of my experience has been with babies and toddlers, but I have worked with kids of all ages, from infants to high schoolers, and have also spent time as a homework tutor. I am originally from Brooklyn, but I moved to LA 3 years ago after graduating with a B.A. in Sociology from Yale University. In the past I have worked in media production and operations management so I am very responsible, organized and detail oriented. I love coming up with fun, creative and physical things to do with kids like arts+crafts, dancing and playing games that encourage learning and development. I grew up with food allergies and am very comfortable Read more with dietary restrictions and label reading. I also know American Sign Language, Spanish and Hebrew. I look forward to meeting your family!
