Laura

My name is Laura. I have over twenty years experience in the early childhood sector.
I began my journey in Australia, working in a multilingual day-care centre in Sydney.
I decided after two years that my passion for childcare was in-home care so chose to be a Nanny. I looked after numerous families over the years and thoroughly enjoyed it, developing close bonds with the children and families.

One family offered me the opportunity to join them in America to look after their twins and expectant new-born. I worked for one year in the States before returning to New Zealand to build a house and start my own family.  My daughters have been raised amongst my Home Based childcare environment and as a result, are welcoming and nurturing of children in my care.

Kids at Home and other community activities compliment my programme by giving children the opportunity for excursions outside the home. This provides the children with the benefit of experiencing small and larger group environments.

I have a passion for providing children with a safe, secure environment, where their individual strengths and needs are celebrated and supported. I pride myself in building relationships with whanau and find these to be fundamental in creating a partnership for children’s learning.
