A little bit about me

Hi! I’m Lorien, and I would love to be your nanny. I have experience as a camp counselor, dance teacher, children’s fitness coach, and babysitter, so I’m comfortable creating both fun and structured environments. I’ve cared for children ranging in age from 2 months to 14 years old. I’m patient, reliable, and very hands-on, and I always prioritize safety while helping kids feel confident, supported, and loved. I’d be honored to care for your little ones!

A little bit about me

I'm a 43 year old single woman from Richard, Louisiana. I have one adult child whom I am looking to reconnect with after a lengthy mission trip to Lafourche Bayou Region. I am coming home to live in a group home in Opelousas, Louisiana on November 3rd. I am looking for stimulating work. I've babysat since the age of 14 starting with a 2 day old baby and also cared for a child with cerebral palsy and a lot of tender age toddler and school age children. I was a substitute teacher as well and my mother was a preschool teacher aide. I am easy going and I love children although I doubt anyone on here would say the opposite!
