Louise Wolcott

Louise Wolcott is a character from Down Among the Sticks and Bones.

Personality
Louise is described as disciplined and orderly, but a dreamer who believes that people are really good and just waiting to show it.

Down Among the Sticks and Bones
After Chester and Serena give birth to their twins- Jacqueline and Jillian- they find the children tiring and ask Louise to help them. Louise essentially raises them, and is the first who can tell them apart. Chester tells the people at work that she is a hired nanny to help his wife, while Serena claims that she's her husband's ailing mother who wants to feel useful.

Louise raises the twins, telling them how clever and strong they were, and how they shouldn't change for anyone and were going to change the world someday. She angers her son and daughter-in-law when she pads the furniture, until she asks them how many eyes they'd like their children to have.

At the girls' fifth birthday, Chester is warned that he may have to care for her if she stays any longer, and Serena becomes jealous of how Jack clings to her, and they tell her to leave. She does, but continues to send the girls gifts in the mail, which are confiscated by the parents. The girls believe that she forgot how to love them.

The only thing she left was a chest in the attic, full of dress-up outfits for the girls, which later becomes their door to the Moors.

Jack and Jill
Louise essentially raises the twins, and always compliments them and finds ways to make them feel included, so no twin is left out, and informs them that one day they'll only have each other and to hold on to that. Jack seemed closer to her, as she trusts her to make her feel included and hides behind her at her fifth birthday. When she leaves, Chester and Serena claim that she forgot how to love them, and they never see her again.
