About Laurie

Experience: 10 yrs

COVID-19 vaccinated

Hi, my name is Laurie, I have 25+ years of experience taking care of children, 10 of which was working in a daycare setting and another 10 working at a fitness/community center in the childcare room. I was the supervisor for the kids room at a gym for a year and am well versed in 10+ ways to play tag, yoga(love cosmic kids) and many other sports and forms of exercise and play. I've worked as a coach and at recreation centers as well. I started as a mother's helper when I was 10 years old and have loved helping families and taking care of children ever since. I am not fluent in ASL or Swedish but I am currently taking courses to learn more. I love meditation and breathing exercises and try to implement those when I can. I also love crafting! I'm not very musically inclined but that never stops me from belting out tunes or having a dance party. I believe in good manners, respect, acknowledging behaviors and leading by example, but most importantly, having fun!

Laurie babysat our toddler before he started preschool and was wonderful with him. She was very engaged with teaching and even taught him some sign language. She continues to babysit for us intermittently and the kids love her. She is very involved with them.
