I've always love working with children. I have around 5 years of experience working with children in activities, programs, children events, nannying and babysitting. I have experience taking care of multiple children from different ages and recently twins also. My interest is not only to take care of your child/children, but also to make positive contribution for your family. Helping you as parents on nurturing your child/children is my main goal; bonding brothers and sisters, teaching children good manners, and things they need to know according to their age has always been my priority. I love helping younger children with their school homework, do activities for children all ages, and go out to fun places (if weather allows it). I am fun, energetic, and pet friendly. I have a valid Illinois drivers' license and a clean driving record. I'm available and willing to travel with your family inside and/or outside Read more the United States if needed. I'm bilingual (English and native Spanish), and I'm willing to teach your children Spanish if you desire me to. I'm available to start immediately in a part-time job, that would allow me to continue my schooling.

Laura was an amazing sitter for our 4children, ages10, 4, and 10 month old twins. She (amazingly) was able to multitask and handle the demands and make it look effortless. She was able to connect with all three age groups and my children all responded to her immediately (which doesn't happen often). I would highly recommend her without question. She is easygoing, kind, warm and always on time. Laura is a hard worker and truly loves children. I would keep her for our family but we have an au pair starting in March.

Laura has been great with our son. She's always on time, super flexible with his ever-changing habits and activities, friendly, funny, warm, even willing to wade into the tornado that is meal time. Oh, and she even did extra cleaning and tidying of toys and the like. We'll be hiring her again.

Laura filled in for our nanny one day and my preschooler and toddler took to her right away, which is not usual for them. She developed a great rapport and was very sweet with them. She did everything I asked. I would definitely use her again!
