Laura was AMAZING! Her background with childcare is what sold me at first and then my toddler immediately loved her as soon as they met. She was very flexible and willing to work with my requests throughout the day. She sent me updates and I felt perfectly comfortable with her taking care of my baby. Will recommend her to all my local friends!

I have my BA in Human Development and I’m currently attending grad school. I have over 30 years of experience which has provided me with a vast knowledge of children and their development as well as formal education which greatly influence my approach to childcare. I bring a multiple disciplinary approach focusing on the social, emotional, behavioral, physical and mental aspects of a child and their wellbeing. I have worked with a diverse group of families including special needs, twin, infants to teens and done everything from potty training to homework help, daily care to overnights, and transportation to after school activities. I am CPR and first aid certified and have a clean driving record. I’d love to discuss the opportunity to care for your little ones. Thank you in advance for your consideration.

I have my bachelors' degree from Ohio University in Child Development. I have 3 children of my own. I started working with children at my church for Sunday School and a preschool teaching position came open. I worked with 3-year-olds for nine years and loved every day I went to work. Then I focused on getting my college degree finished. I have since had supervisory jobs in a school system as a Lead Latchkey teacher and for the YMCA as a site director, overseeing 2 teachers and 36 students. Currently, I'm a preschool teacher.
