Hello, my name is laurenne. I'm a hard working determined single mother who wants to expand my experience in the nanny industry. Im a very honest responsible positive patient individual who loves to play with kids and explore their imaginations. I have worked with different ages of kids through out the years and have experience with infants. I got a crazy energetic personality which makes my work so much fun and easy! Things you should know about me is well first I have a crazy lovely 20 month old daughter who I just adore and love more and more each day! She's always so happy and has such a positive attitude. She loves to perform for an audience whether it's singing or dancing or both! She likes to wave to every person she walks by and do a little dance for them. Everyone who's around her instantly brights up because of how kind and joyful she is. She truly is my pride and joy. I'm very blessed to have her in my life. I love movies and trying out new restaurants. I sew on my spare time and currently working on a steampunk Victorian skirt for my next Halloween project (little early I know.) I'm a huge fan of the LOTR series and the Hobbit. If I had to be anyone from the movie/book id be a dwarf :P I'm also a big fan of Disney and mostly Beauty and the Beast. I have a little growing collection of the move. My most favourite musical of all time is The Phantom of the Opera. I watched it when I was 9 years old and it became my inspiration to become a singer. I'm very into classical music, swing and jazz music but I mostly have a passion for classical. It's a new modern classical I listened to call Neo Orchestral, if you don't know what it is, it's basically the epic music you hear in movie trailers, hard actions scenes in movies, or in video games. My favourite composers are Hans Zimmer, Thomas Bergersen, James Newtown Howard and Mark Petrie. My favourite singers I like to listen to are Bobby Darin, Little Richard, Frank Sinatra and of course the King. I've had 7 years of singing in my past and was part of the Stage Coach company and The New Opera society. I performed in two plays The Sound of Music where I played Lisle and Miss Saigon as the role of Gigi. I've sung mostly musicals and operas. Haven't really been in touch since but still continue to sing leisurely. Basically what it all comes down to it is I'm a pretty huge geek. I'm very much into the arts and the creative side. I'm going to school next fall to study theatre hair and makeup. I have worked with 2 families the past year ages from 15months to 5years old. For both family's I prepared meals, played imaginative games, cleaned and enjoyed the outdoors. The first family I worked for was short term where I took care of a 15 month old and I mostly helped him with his early development. The second family I worked with an 18 month old and a 5 year old. We all played silly imaginative games, do crafts, taught them other games from when I was little. I would help the oldest get ready for school and packed his snack for him. I would perform any household tasks the parents requested for me. Both families I would clean up the house during nap times and touch up before parents came home. For both families I occasionally cooked supper for them. Both of these families I have brought my daughter along with me and wish to continue doing so. She's very good with kids from all different age groups, she loves babies herself and had good experiences with them in the past, and is a great helper to me. She's a good listener and is very open to anyone. Im able to do any household tasks that the parents request and make sure the parents come to a clean home at the end of the day. I'll always keep in touch with the parents throughout the day and always keep contact if there's any concerns or questions. I do not have my drivers license but I'm experienced with public transit and capable of doing any walkable or nearby tasks for parents. I'm certified in first aid and CPR and have a clean criminal record that I'm willing to provide upon and interview. Please send me a message if you think I'm a good fit for your family. Looking forward to hear back, have a good rest of your day :)
