A little bit about me
Hi! I'm Lauren :-)
I'm a college student with five years of babysitting experience. I worked as a nanny for the past two summers and taught at a summer camp last year. I find nurturing children in their social and emotional growth to be incredibly fulfilling. A few of my favorite activities are baking, reading, arts and crafts, and being outdoors. I can help with morning routines, drop-offs/pick-ups, meal prep, and other household responsibilities. I have a car and a clean driving record, and I'm fully vaccinated.

A little bit about me
I am a mother of two to a 2 year old boy and 6 year old girl. I love being outdoors and doing different activities, and spending time with my little family. I have been a nanny and babysitter for about 10 years. I love children and I love the energy the give off onto others and I love becoming part of someone’s family and growing with them. I would love to one day go to school and earn an early childhood education degree once my children are both school aged.
