Meet Laura
- Comfortable with pets
Hi! My name is Laura and I'm a super flexible, easy going, experienced babysitter here in Portland, OR. I grew up here, went to college in California and have spent the past two years in Brisbane, Australia! From May until July I am visiting home and keen to babysit as my schedule is quite open. In Australia, I worked as a full time au pair for one year, living with a family and having primary care of a 12 month old and 4 year old three days a week. We had an amazing time together! Before that, I worked in a child care center here in Portland, where I am still employed on an on-call basis while I'm in town. I've been pursuing my diploma in Early Childhood Education in Australia, and am thinking of studying towards my Masters of Teaching in the future, so you can be assured I Read more am dedicated to the care of your child, as well as knowledgeable. I'm happy to do house work as well. I recognize how important child care is, whether it's for a deserved night out or care while you are at work - it is important you trust your babysitter! I love kids and have a lot of fun when babysitting. I have many references and experience with boys and girls from 3 months to teenagers. I'm comfortable with pets, cooking and housesitting as well. Let me know if you have any questions!
