Meet Laura

I started being a care giver at the age of 14 when I started babysitting for family friends and neighbors. Not long after that I was well known and had quite a few regular families that I cared for. Around the same time I started working for a horse farm teaching horseback riding lessons and some small one on one lessons with special needs children. I taught lessons for about five years before I got accepted into the Northern Illinois University College of Education as an elementary education major. I enjoy working not only with children but with animals as well. I strive to be kind and a good role model for the people around me whether they are young or older.
