A little bit about me

Hi! I am a senior at KU majoring in Applied Behavioral Science with an emphasis in Child Development. I have been babysitting since I was 12; and I am currently a nanny to a family with 3 boys; ages 2.5, 6.5, & 9.5. We have been together since the youngest was 3 months old. I can do all ages, but prefer younger. Happy to do overnights; I’ve stayed with many families while parents have gone out of town- some as far as Miami and Greece. I can take to school, help with car pooling, after school activities, bed times, etc.

A little bit about me

Hello, I’m Laura! I’ve grown up with kids all my life with my parents running an at-home daycare, and having 10 siblings! I’ve also worked as a DSP so I’m also well-versed in those areas too! I also am very good with animals due to my childhood home closely resembling a small zoo. I’ve been told I’m very bubbly and kind, so I’ll try my hardest to entertain and care for you and your family!
