A Little About Me Hi there! I’m an experienced, fully vaccinated nanny who loves connecting with children and encouraging each one’s unique personality. I’m patient, kind, and attentive, with years of experience caring for children of all ages—including those with special needs. I’m organized, reliable, and able to manage a household smoothly, whether multitasking independently or anticipating what needs to be done. I’m a non-smoker, an excellent driver and swimmer, and a retired criminal justice professional with a college degree. I’m happy to submit to a full background check. I’ve also held household manager roles, so I understand how a home should run. I enjoy cooking, can help with light housekeeping, and provide pet care if needed. As a mom of two grown children, I know how important stability, consistency, and respect for your family’s privacy are. I believe communication is key and would love the chance to chat with Read more you about your family’s needs. Please reach out if you’d like to connect—I’d be happy to talk!

We really enjoyed having Laura sit for us. She is very kind, responsible, and trustworthy. My girls loved her! We plan to have us continue to sit for us in the future.

Laura watched our 3 year old daughter for 2 months. She easily adapted to our daughter's daily routine and was understanding of how to help our daughter become more comfortable with a new adult due to limited exposure during the pandemic. She helped keep the house clean. Laura was timely and reliable. She provided updates on how things were going throughout the day.

Laura worked for our family from the Fall of 2019 to the Spring of 2020 as our part-time nanny. We appreciated that she had experience with child rearing and housekeeping in the past. We mutually agreed to part ways recently with the onset of the quarantine and social distancing as we no longer could use her services. During the time Laura worked with us, however, she was reliable and professional always while also being easy to relate to. She was kind and easy going and worked well with our children. She was more than willing to help keep them on track with their homework. Laura was immensely helpful around the house with keeping up with light housekeeping and meal preparation. We especially appreciated her willingness to help with laundry which is consistently a big challenge for our big family. She was trustworthy and responsible. Additionally, we felt extremely comfortable having her house-sit for us while we were on vacation. We would not hesitate to hire her again in the future should our predicament change. Overall, we can only highly recommend Laura for future nanny positions.
