About Laurie

Experience: 10 yrs

With over 10 years of professional childcare experience, I truly love what I do and take pride in creating a safe, loving, nurturing, and fun environment for children of all ages, from newborns to school-aged children. I believe every child is unique and enjoy getting to know their personality, interests, and individual needs. I love fostering curiosity and creativity through arts & crafts, outdoor adventures, reading, music, imaginative play, and age-appropriate activities. I'm also experienced with infant care, including bottle feeding, diaper changes, tummy time, naps, soothing, songs, and story time. I am CPR/First Aid certified, dependable, patient, responsible, and compassionate. I also love animals and am comfortable with families who have pets. I'm looking for a wonderful family where I can build a trusting relationship and provide reliable, long-term support. My goal is to give parents peace of mind while making sure their children feel safe, happy, loved, and cared for.

My daughter never leaves my side to say hi to anyone new but Laurie was patient and soft spoken. She was very patient with my daughter until she felt comfortable. By the time we got home our daughter did not want her to leave and it was like I was non existent!!! I don't know how she did it but I would recommend her to anyone.
