A little bit about me

I'm an energetic and responsible 18-year-old with a passion for working with kids! I have always babysat for family and friends and loved every minute of it. Even though I'm a senior in highschool and on honor roll, I had a difficult time with school when I was younger, so I understand the struggles some kids may be going through with school work and am ready to help them with anything that they may find challenging. I have no problem working with children with special needs, I have worked with kids who have had autism, ADHD, and epilepsy. I understand that each child is different and needs different care and I am ready to learn what your child personally needs so that they stay happy and healthy! I absolutely love to cook and hope to attend culinary arts school sometime after I graduate! On top of working with kids, I've also always enjoyed pet sitting! I absolutely adore all animals and have had many of my own, including dogs, fish, tortoises, bunnies, and frogs!

A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Lauren, I’m a ECE student at Occ, I’ve completed 2 Child development certificates and have 6 years of experience working with children in all capacities.

What kind of Nanny am I?
When working with children my goal is to promote learning using the style of an emergent curriculum, I absolutely adore being able to encourage learning through a child’s interests. I try to keep kids off screens, promote time outside, creativity, and always keep it fun! If I had to use 3 words to describe myself they would be patient, whimsical and engaging!

Unfortunately due to my schooling I wouldn’t be able to start until 6/1/2026, going forward school conflicts would not be an issue for me. I am still able to schedule any interviews or trial dates if interested.
