This is more than just a job to me, it is an opportunity of a lifetime. As soon as you walk in the door, you can truly sense how we are a school family by the warm and inviting environment. My passion has always been working with children, being a stepping stone in their educational journey, supporting them in expressing themselves creatively, and assisting them in finding their voices.

When I walked into Mainspring for the first time, I was overwhelmed by the sense of community that I felt. I love working with kiddos because they are constantly curious about life and the world around them. Each day I am able to learn and grow alongside my children. Their silly stories and belly laughs help fill the Mockingbird classroom with so much love and joy.

I began as a substitute teacher and fell in love with Mainspring. That's when I decided to become a full-time caregiver to this diverse community. I'm also now a parent and my son is being well taken care of and taught new things by wonderful teachers here at Mainspring. I'm so happy and comfortable with my son's care that I can give all my attention to my babies in class.

I began as an aunt, bringing my niece to Mainspring. Then I was a mom with two sons at school. Now, as part of the team, I get to watch all of our children’s beautiful minds expand and I get to share those exciting “did you see that?” moments with each of our teachers.

I enjoy working with children. Every day is different, full of new opportunities to learn and do something new. Working with children, you get to see and enjoy their growth.

Laura Rainey
Literacy & Innovation Coach
I have a passion for literacy and bringing books to life. Building a foundation for future readers is very rewarding for me. More than anything, I love the mission of our school. There is a high level of social conscience reflected by all of the staff, day in and day out. I have never worked at a school like Mainspring that honors the growth of each child and the very important role of families. The school’s commitment to children, families, and staff makes a big difference in their lives, the community, and in Austin.
