I started babysitting when I was around 12-13. For most of my teen years I watched several different children regularly. Their ages ranged from infancy to about 8-9. I was also 13 when my baby sister was born, so I watched her very often throughout her childhood. As an adult I have also been employed as a babysitter for various friendβs kids. I think community is one of the most important things available to us as people. Helping each other helps ourselves and we all benefit from community work. Iβm in school for psychology with the hope of being able to help children within the system. I love kids, pets, and all the little ways they can amaze us.

Hi parents! My name is Laura, and I am a patient, compassionate, and dedicated caregiver with over four years of professional childcare experience and a college degree. I truly believe that children are a precious gift, and my ultimate goal is to provide a safe, nurturing, and joyful environment where your little ones feel completely supported. My background includes three years of working in a traditional daycare setting and one year in a specialized medical daycare. These roles gave me invaluable experience in managing daily routines, navigating various developmental milestones, and maintaining strict safety protocols. I am incredibly comfortable with all ages, including infants and toddlers; a skillset I keep fresh by regularly babysitting my family members, most recently my wonderful 1-year-old nephew! In addition to my early childhood experience, I work professionally supporting individuals with disabilities. This background has deeply honed my adaptability, attentiveness, and capacity for specialized care, ensuring I can meet the unique physical, emotional, or behavioral needs of any individual.I am also a huge animal lover, so I am more than happy to love on and look after your family pets during a gig!Whether you need a reliable sitter for date nights, help with weekday routines, or are open to exploring a more consistent full-time arrangement, I look forward to bringing my professional background and genuine care to your family.

I love being a sitter because it motivates me to be a better person- kids are the purest judge of character. I have previously worked with two girls (ages 7 & 11) where I helped around the house, with their homework and walk to pick up from school 3x a week! I also have a 1x a week volunteer commitment tutoring a child refugee (age 8). I've been working with kids for a while! My mother has always needed help with her job as a kindergarten teacher, and I've also worked on projects mentoring and tutoring children- all since high school. This has furthered my commitment to the kids I work with & to be a better role model in my capacity as a babysitter.I am also multilingual, with beginners Chinese & Arabic, some Spanish & French and fluent Urdu-Hindi, Punjabi and English under my belt. I unfortunately do not have a driverβs license but can arrange public transit or Uber/Lyft.
