Hi, My name is Laura, and I am a mother of three daughters and a grandmother of five grandchildren. I have raised/cared for children for 35 years. I enjoyed being a Sunday school teacher for young toddlers for two years, as well as leading a preschool class for two years. I have also worked in the home care industry for several years, enjoying the companionship and rewards of working with the elderly. I am a young-at-heart 57 year old mom/nana, who will bring a nurturing environment to children, as well as to the elderly. I am currently looking for part-time work, possibly leading to full-time. Thank you in advance for your consideration
