Laura $25 per hour for 1 child

I have worked with children and youth since high school. I had the desire to work with children and youth as an adult however I haven’t had the chance to really balance that with school and work. Now that I am older and have more availability I want to pursue my passion with working with children and youth. I have a degree in family and humanities and I am a veteran. Over the years I’ve always wanted to pursue having a daycare center or a family based childcare. I still have that passion so I am looking to build a trusted and useful community for those who need my services. I am looking to provide support to families who do not work the traditional 9 to 5 working hours. My services is available for those who work non-traditional hours. The evening/overnight shift and those who work various changing work schedules. I received my experience with working with children and youth through internships, community engagements, and helping family and friend when they need a babysitter. I am willing to experience more hands on opportunities with you and your family. I believe that my passion for working with children of all ages will get me the experience I need to run a successful business. Please feel free to contact me. Excited to work with you.

Hello! My name is Lachelle, and I have 6 years of experience as a prekindergarten teacher in Baltimore City Public Schools, as well as experience as a daycare teacher (infants, 1s & 2s), and a babysitter. I specialize in creating warm, structured, and developmentally supportive environments for young children. I’m skilled in early literacy, math, behavior management, and planning hands-on activities that keep children engaged and learning through play. I prioritize safety, communication, and building trusting relationships with families. Whether helping with routines, supporting milestones, or organizing fun and educational activities, I provide attentive, high-quality care tailored to each child’s needs.
