About Lori

Experience: 10 yrs

COVID-19 vaccinated

After raising two amazing children, I remembered loving the newborn and infant stages. So, I answered an ad in 2013 to be a nanny for a 3-month-old little girl. I was her nanny until she started daycare when she was 26 months. Next, I cared for a family with a 6-month-old little boy and his 3-year-old brother. I then opened a daycare in my home in March, 2017. I was at full capacity within 1 month! While challenging, I thoroughly enjoyed caring for six kiddos from 6 months to 4 years. Since then, I have worked for several families with infants both individually and as part of a nanny share. I love helping families, and enjoy all aspects of child care and child development! I'm most passionate about caring for newborns and infants, keeping them safe and happy, and having fun while navigating developmental milestones! Specifically, I'm adept at working with parents to establish a healthy eat, play, and sleep pattern for their babies.

I don’t have enough words to describe how grateful we are for the time Lori spent with our family. Lori started working with us in November 2022 when my daughter was 4 months old and worked with us all the way up until she was 18 months old. At the time when she joined us we were exhausted and struggling in the new parent haze. We were waking up multiple times per night and struggling to put our daughter down successfully for naps and bed. After just a couple days Lori got our daughter going down for naps independently and eating better. After a while the nighttime wake ups started to decrease. With her wealth of infant care knowledge I always felt comfortable that she could handle any situation that was presented to her. In addition to being great about structuring naps and feeding schedule she has a great ability to allow the child to direct themselves while also taking little moments to talk about what they are doing (pointing out colors, numbers, shapes, etc). As a parent I always appreciated how communicative she was. She would regularly check in and ask how I would want something done and was great about giving me updates (with pictures) throughout the day. Lori is a true professional; I can’t recommend her more highly. We were so thankful to find Lori and will always appreciate the time she spent with us.
