A little bit about me

Hello, My name is Laurel, and I'm 22 years old. I have babysat for many different families over the years, but most of the child care experience I've gained has been through working as a preschool teacher. My experience in childcare started when I started volunteering with children at age 12, but I took on the role as a Sunday school Director In 2018. This position has taught me how to work with a variety of different age groups, from infant to middle school. I learned how to engage children in activities and lessons and keep/enforce consistent rules and guidelines. In 2020 I began working as preschool teacher where I worked with children 18 months old - 5 years old.

I love working with children, and creating a consistent structure that they can't build confidence in, while also following their lead and creating fun memorable experiences for them. I love to help children learn and grow whether through their development stages or in their own interests and hobbies.

More About Me

Lead Preschool teacher, children’s program volunteer, full time nanny, part time nanny, and babysitting!

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

The most important part about being a nanny...

I love working with kids and parents alike! Learning and growing with a family as a team is so rewarding and special.

My experience with special needs children...

I have worked with kids of varying special needs at my preschool class, and have taken special needs training as apart of my DCF training.

The most important part about being a nanny...

I brought over my old prom dresses and Halloween costumes to watch a little girl I had been working with for years, and we got in our “princess gowns”, and has a tea party!
