Hello! I am a local mom who would be happy to help you keep your household running smoothly. -Need a babysitter? After school care? Children picked up and dropped off? I've got you covered, with a clean driving record and the experience of driving my own special needs son to his various appointments. I have a valid drivers license, I am a safe and responsible driver, and I would be glad to chauffeur your family around town in a vehicle you provide or my own 2004 police interceptor. -Going out of town? Need transportation to the airport and someone to feed the cats? Allow me to drive you to the airport in the comfort of your own vehicle and bring in your mail. Plus, I will happily scratch kitty behind the ears when I come and ensure that all is well at your home. -Having an event? Need help with Read more grocery shopping? Spring cleaning projects? Kid crafts? Party decorating? I am happy to lend a hand and help you get the job done. I am new to Sittercity, but I have excellent references, and I look forward to building my reputation and earning repeat business on this network. As a single mom, securing childcare for my son in the evenings and on weekends while I help you, can certainly be arranged. If I am allowed to bring my sweet 3 year old son along to play, he will be great company for your kids! He is hearing impaired, but he very much enjoys making new friends and playing with other children. He is in school during the day, and he would enjoy tagging along during after school hours or weeknights when appropriate. If you need help around the house, or a night out on the town, contact me today so we can discuss your needs and how I can help you make it happen! :) I currently work at Children Inc. So feel free to validate my background check if you like. Thank you, and looking forward to helping you soon! Laura Coate

Such a great person with a bubbly personality! My kids loved her and are always asking me when they can see her and her little boy again. I'm usually good at reading people well so I knew off the back that I would have no worries with my kids being in her care. And I was completely right! Very caring and has the sweetest little boy. I would recommend her to anyone who's in need of someone who would genuinely care for their child/children as if they were her own! Thanks again Laura!!
