Hello! My name's Laura and I'm 22 years old. I'm originally from Silver Spring, MD, however I transferred to Colorado College in January 2019 and am currently a junior at CC. I have class Monday-Friday from 9am-12pm, and I work as a barista during the morning on weekends, however, aside from these things, my schedule is very flexible. I've been babysitting for about six years now and truly enjoy taking care of children. My background as a caretaker consists of both babysitting and being a camp counselor. During my junior year of high school, I babysat a 2-year-old boy for about a year, while the family's full-time nanny was away. In the summer of 2016, I babysat an 11-year-old boy with special needs for several weeks. During my sophomore year of college, I was a nanny for three boys, ages 4, 6, and 9. Last fall, I nannied for an Read more 11-year-old boy and a 9-year-old girl, driving them to after-school activities, helping them with homework, and cooking meals. I’ve also been a camp counselor for my dance studio's summer camp, in which I supervised girls ages 6-13, and I've been a counselor for a middle school program called Outdoor Education, in which I supervised boys and girls ages 11-13. Through these experiences, I’ve gained an understanding of the care, patience, and dependability necessary as a caretaker, and I believe that I fully embody these traits. Additionally, I was re-certified for CPR and First Aid in April of 2018 through a Wilderness First Aid course. I also have a car and a clean driving record.
