After graduating Mount Holyoke College, I got married and gave birth to 5 children. I spent the next 19 years homeschooling them. (Two have finished college with honors.) Now that they are older, I want to spend my free time making a little money and helping other families raise their children. I sing for the Springfield Symphony Orchestra Choir and love to participate in music with children. I've also taught basketball for the Town of Belchertown for the past 15 years (which requires a CORI check). I am extremely flexible and have my own transportation.

I first hired Laura to check on and help my teenagers while I was out of town for a week on a business trip. She is professional yet also makes us feel like family. She treats my children like her own and takes a genuine interest in them. In my experiences with her so far, Laura is a great caregiver and a wonderful person.
