A little bit about me

Hi, I'm Laine! I'm a recent graduate from the University of Arizona, and I will be attending graduate school for Speech-Language Pathology in the fall! Over the past year, I have worked as an elementary school paraeducator for students with specialized behavioral, social-emotional, and academic needs.

Alongside that, I’ve gained hands-on experience in K-8 schools and speech clinics, learning how to support children with diverse communication and sensory needs. I’ve also been babysitting on and off for 5+ years and truly enjoy creating a safe, fun, and supportive environment where kids can thrive.

I'm currently looking for a babysitting job during the evenings and weekends as I save for graduate school. I am also open to a more full-time position throughout the summer. I’d love the chance to connect with your family! Feel free to reach out with any questions!
