About Laurie
Experience: 10 yrs
Children learn best by doing, exploring, and experiencing the world around them! My children attended Montessori school, which reinforced my belief in hands-on, child-led learning. I am a calm, creative, and organized caregiver who is passionate about helping children connect with nature through art, creativity, observation, and outdoor exploration. To enrich their experiences, I regularly collaborate with other nannies to participate in "go see it" community adventures throughout North County. These outings include strawberry picking, library story hours, train rides, nature walks, park visits, farmers markets, and a wide variety of local educational and cultural activities. I believe every outing is an opportunity for discovery, learning, and growth. My goal is to create meaningful experiences that foster curiosity, confidence, self-expression, independence, and a lifelong love of learning while providing children with a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment in which to thrive.

May 1, 2024 To Whom it May Concern, It is my pleasure to enthusiastically recommend Laurie for a child care position. Laurie took care of my two boys from the time they were 2 and 3 years old until they entered middle school when we had to move out of state. I have yet to encounter a more reliable, loving, and engaging care provider. Some of the services she provided were to pick them up from school, help them with homework, cook for and feed them, and provide stimulating activities that would keep them off of screens. Laurie accomplished these tasks and so much more. She quickly became a part of our family as she took on tasks way beyond our expectations such as volunteering in their elementary school classes, going on school field trips, supporting them through school projects, and advocating for them if problems came up at school. The thing that made me feel so good about trusting Laurie completely was that I always knew she truly loved my children. In turn, the children loved her! She was always coming up with fun and engaging activities and games for them. We were in awe of her creativity when it came to engaging them as toddlers and as older kids. Laurie also has experience with children with special needs. One of my sons has ADHD which affects his learning and executive function, and Laurie always knew how to compassionately and lovingly support him in tough moments. In fact, both of my children learned appropriate social behaviors of kindness and empathy from Laurie. She was able to teach them these qualities while also setting clear boundaries and expectations for behavior. In short, any children who get to have Ms. Laurie in their lives are going to benefit tremendously from her care, lessons, compassion and empathy. We still consider her a part of our family and always will. I highly recommend her for any childcare position. Sincerely, Marsha B.
