I received a Rotary scholarship to Japan when I was a high school junior in Wisconsin,& graduated at the top of my class. I went to school for Occupational Therapy for children in Wisconsin. I ran a small home day care so I could stay at home with my 4 children & support my family at the same time while my husband finished his PHD. We then moved to Japan for 18 years where my husband worked as a full professor. I taught English as a second language from preschool on up. I came back to Arkansas in the fall of 2007 & worked as a substitute teacher & then as a Dental Assistant. With a great love for children I came back to my roots. I worked for the same family for 7 years until they relocated to the Dallas area & then for a family for 12 months until they enrolled their son in preschool. I then worked for another wonderful family until their son started preschool & then spent 3 years working with 2 special needs students at school. Most recently I helped with newborn twins short term.

Lauri was a life saver when we were brand new in town with no connections. From day one, her extensive experience was apparent. In particular, our kids have developmental delays and learning differences, and she was able to quickly and comfortably accommodate for their special needs and even helped us get connected to a local speech/occupational therapist. She would bring special games/toys for our kids as she figured out their interests, and prepared thoughtful activities that were both enjoyable and educational. On top of all that, we would regularly come home to a clean kitchen and a picked up living area! (Can I get a hallelujah?) Lauri was always very flexible with our occasionally shifting schedule as well and willing to adapt to what our family needed during any given season. We highly and confidently recommend Lauri for any of your childcare needs.
