Hi! My name is Laura, I am 24 years old and live in Hamilton, NJ. I have an Associate's degree in Education from Mercer County Community College. I am currently working towards a Bachelor's in both Early Childhood Education and Psychology at William Paterson University with intentions of becoming an elementary school teacher. I have been a lifeguard and swimming teacher for 8+ years for the YWCA working with infants, toddlers, school age children, adults, and individuals with special needs . I am currently Red Cross certified in lifeguarding, water safety instructor, first aid, and cpr/aed. I have 10 years of experience caring for children and pets. I enjoy the outdoors, music, art s and crafts, cooking, reading, animals, watching tv and spending time with family and friends. I speak a little bit of Spanish. I am friendly, outgoing, have a positive outlook on life and terrific sense of humor. Read more I am very easy going, flexible and trustworthy. I continue to work at the pool part time in the late evenings and am searching for a part or full time position as a nanny/babysitter during the day. I am willing to do transportation, meal prep, housework, homework help, pet care, and care for sick individuals. Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns or to schedule an interview. Thanks!
