Hi there! My name is Laura and I am a certified acute care pediatric nurse practitioner. I just graduated from my master's program and am in the process of finding my first job as an NP. In the mean time, I'm looking to find work as a nanny/babysitter/pet companion/house manager. I have been a nurse in pediatric oncology and stem cell transplant for 3.5 years, and working with/taking care of children for over 15 years. I am originally from California, but have been living in the Midwest since 2015 (AKA since realizing I am a Midwesterner at heart). On paper, I am a University of Michigan 2x graduate (Bachelor's and Master's), a registered nurse, and a certified pediatric nurse practitioner. Rest assured your kiddos will be safe with me, BLS/CPR certified and PALS (pediatric advanced life support) certified. Most importantly, I am a natural caretaker and goofball :) Some misc Read more fun facts: - I have 4 brothers and grew up playing ALL sports (mostly focused on basketball, soccer, volleyball, and track). I was even a camp counselor for 4 years at an all sports camp, during which I also gained lots of arts and crafts expertise - I love the outdoors, in any and all seasons - I love teaching (and learning) and I have been a teacher and tutor in many subjects - I am most at peace when either baking or cooking and am constantly finding excuses to prepare goodies for my loved ones - I love any and all animals and am a proud auntie to many of my family and friends' fur babies Thank you for reading this, and I look forward to helping in any way I can!
