Meet Laura

  • Comfortable with pets

Hi, my name is Laura. I am a 29-year-old college graduate with a full-time job in TV media sales. However, about a year prior I was a full-time nanny for almost three years for two little boys, starting from newborn to 3 years old. In addition to newborn/baby experience, I also babysat extensively in high school and college for all ages. For example, I nannied full-time one summer in college for a 7-year-old boy. I am still in contact with most of the families I have cared for and would have plenty of references if needed. So why baby-sit? I am a kid person and miss that aspect of my old job. I also have a passion for travel and feel this would be the perfect way to fundraise ( An opportunity to fill two voids at once!). I know it can be nerve-wracking for a parent to find a Read more new sitter they can fully trust and I want you to feel that your children are in safe hands. So I would be happy to meet in person if you are at all interested. (I mean the whole point is to get out, relax, and enjoy yourselves - right?) As mentioned in the title, I am only available nights (6 p.m. and on) and weekends (at any time). I would also be available for full weekend stays in cases where parents are traveling or just getting away. Please don't hesitate to contact me with any questions via email or phone: laurateegarden@gmail.com or 630-779-6886. Thank you and I look forward to hearing from you!
