Hello! My name is Laura, and I have been working in the childcare industry as a babysitter for over 30 families, a full-time nanny for over two years in Rhode Island, as an overnight newborn nanny, and as a Client Manager, Operations Manager, and Assistant Manager for three local and national childcare agencies in Chicago. I am most comfortable with children ages 2 months and up, but I have experience working with children ages 10 days and up. As my most recent career was to interview babysitters in 6 cities full-time, I know what it takes to be a top-notch babysitter. I write out notes from the day's events, leave a hand-drawn cartoon page for the child(ren) as I love to draw, and always retain the parents' requests and instructions to the smallest detail. I genuinely adore working with kids - it is one of my greatest passions! - and Read more I am looking forward to working more date night jobs after my day job. I can't wait to meet you and your family.
