A little bit about me

Hi, I’m a very active and healthy 61 year old grandma. I’ve raised 4 kids, all adults now, while serving active duty in the military (USAF). I’ve been a government contractor for the last 24 years and frankly I’m burned out. I loved raising my kids and my favorite thing in the world is spending time with my 6 year old granddaughter. Unfortunately, I don’t get to see her as often as I’d like because she lives in Michigan. I’m dipping my toe in the water to see what’s out there as far as nanny jobs go. I’d really like to do something I love for a change. I’ve taken care of many children, but I’ve never been a nanny and am not sure what the industry standards are. I’m willing to get first aid buddy care and CPR certifications and others if needed or required. I have a good driving record and a passport. I have a daughter with ASD with low support needs and two other children diagnosed with ADHD, so I have a little bit of exposer there. I really love kids and animals too!

More About Me

Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...

My experience, besides my 4 kids and my granddaughter, is that I’ve babysat since I was 12. I almost can’t believe that’s true, but the 70’s were a different time. I’ve watched friends kids over the years too, but I have no formal daycare or nanny experience.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

Things I did with my kids and do now with my granddaughter include: Crafts, riding bikes, going to children’s museums and other kid friendly establishments like zoo’s, reading, outdoor play, watching kid friendly movies!

The most important part about being a nanny...

I guess ultimatly it’s physical and emotional safety!

My experience with special needs children...

I have a daughter with ASD with low support needs and I have two other children that were diagnosed with ADHD as children. Additionally, my granddaughter is in the process of a diagnosis, and they are looking at ASD with a PDA profile. I’ve never formally worked with special needs kids, but because of my families make up I’ve done a lot of reading and research so that I can be a more effective and compassionate parent and grandparent.

The most important part about being a nanny...

Unfortunately I’ve never nannied before, but I have lots of favorite moments while being responsible for kids. I really like seeing them experience new things. I just took my grandmother to Disney World in February and it was magic for her!

Lauren V. - Seeking Work in Surprise

Full-Time Child Care Provider Available in Surprise, AZ: Lauren V.

My name is Lauren. I'm a certified medical assistant and mother of a 6 year old boy. I feel in my life right now I want to persue a diffrent career path and I feel being a loving, encouraging, reliable, caring nanny is a great transition for me. I do have medical background so caring for kids of all ages and paying attention to small detail will be a great quality I carry over. I will treat the children I care for like extentions of my family. Always honor and respect the parents wishes and basically hope to bring some relief to mom and dad's life because life its self can be stressful as it is but I feel when our kids are cared for properly it can take some of that weight off our shoulders. I am wanting to watch the children at my own house after October because I will be welcoming my second child at that time. I am still going to be a full time nanny, I just feel with a new born being in my own home will best fit my home life balance. I look forward to meeting you!
