Hi there! My name is Laura, and I love working with children, and watching them grow and learn in a caring and nurturing environment. I believe we can learn so much from children, and that through support and encouragement these wonderful little humans can flourish. Whilst studying, I have gained valuable knowledge about the importance of good quality educators in the lives of young people and the impression they can make on the adults they will become. I have had nanny and babysitting experience for the past thirteen years, working with children from birth to twelve years. In addition to this, I have worked in a child care centre in an assistant role particularly caring for babies and toddlers. I currently manage and oversee Outside School Hours Care Centres, where I care for school aged children. I also have my own Children’s Party Entertaining business. I am responsible, reliable and experienced- but most importantly I am great with children and love having lots of fun with them. I am available for casual babysitting care. I hold a working with children check, police check, and first aid qualifications including asthma and anaphylaxis. I also own a car and hold a licence. If I sound like the perfect fit your family, I'd love to get in contact!
