Hi there! I’m a loving and experienced babysitter with 6 years of hands-on experience caring for little ones, from newborns all the way up to teenagers (15 years old). I’ve juggled watching up to 3 kids at once, so I’m no stranger to busy households! Whether it’s school drop-offs, pick-ups, meal prep, or helping with homework, I’ve got it covered. I’m also happy to lend a hand with light housekeeping, laundry, and can even whip up meals that the kiddos will love. I’m CPR and First Aid trained, so your children’s safety is always my first priority. I’ve also completed a background check with Sittercity, so you can feel confident your home is in good hands. Need someone overnight? No problem! I’m more than happy to stay for an extra fee, giving you peace of mind whether it’s a weekend getaway or a late-night event. I’m fully vaccinated (Measles, Mumps, Read more Rubella, TB, Flu, and COVID), so you can rest easy knowing safety is a top priority. I’m also an animal lover! I’ve grown up with dogs and currently have two sweet cats, so I’m more than comfortable caring for your furry family members too. Looking forward to becoming part of your family’s support system!

We couldn’t have asked for a better babysitter! Laura took care of our three kids for 8 hours a day during the weekdays, and she was absolutely amazing. She handled school drop-offs and pick-ups seamlessly, always arriving on time and keeping everything running smoothly. What really impressed us was how she managed to keep the house tidy on top of everything else. With three kids and a busy schedule, it was a big relief to come home to a clean house. The kids absolutely adored her—she had such a warm and caring presence that made them feel safe and happy. She even made time to walk our dog, showing her ability to manage all aspects of our family life with ease. Laura was also incredibly reliable, always responsive and accommodating on short notice, which made a big difference for us as working parents. We highly recommend her to any family in need of a dependable, thoughtful, and caring babysitter!

Cancelled her appointment last minute leaving me scanning for could care. We rescheduled to another date, and ten minutes before the appointment she texts me that she's on her way bit never showed up and completely ghosted me afterwards. She was also evasive about background checks.
