My name is Laura, I'm currently 18 years old (19 in July) studying history at McMaster University. I have lots of experience working in childcare, I have been volunteering and working at summer camps my whole life, basically! I am very outdoorsy, I love being outside, going camping, walks in the woods, swimming, and summer is the perfect time for that! I danced for 14 years, and graduated my ballet school last spring. I am very musically inclined, I always love to have music playing, and I can play 5 instruments. I am a very organized and thoughtful person. I'm great at planning out how my day will go and staying on top of things. I have my full G driver's license, First Aid, CPR, and Principles of Healthy Child Development training. I have worked with all ages of kids, all with different needs, and am confident I can provide great, fun care for your kids. I have no issues with pets (I have a lovely golden retriever) and would be more than willing to provide any care needed for them as well. Thanks so much for considering me, please feel free to let me know if you have any questions, or reach out to me directly if you would prefer.
