A little bit about me
Hi! I'm a caring, calming, and compassionate person who enjoys spending time with kids! I graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Psychology. I'm planning on obtaining my masters degree in clinical counseling for children. I've had experience with kids from an early age since my grandmother owned a daycare center. I am certified in child and infant CPR/first aid and can supervise swimming as I've given private and public lessons to children at my local pool. I've worked as a daycare assistant for many years, working with infants to preschool aged children. Upon graduating, I began work as a child/adolescent behavioral technician, helping ensure patient safety, manage crises, facilitate groups/ensure structure, gaining further knowledge in the utilization of therapeutic practices, such as DBT and mindfulness skills. Overall, I believe in teaching children how to be kind/respectful, express their individuality, and establish an environment where feelings are shared and communicated.

After graduation, I accepted a position as at Chicago Public Schools as a Preschool Teacher for the last seven years! In my free time I love to support my favorite Chicago sports teams, go on hikes with my dog Mochi and do yoga!

Hi! My name is Lauryn, and I’m 22 years old. I currently work as a Youth Program Leader with the YMCA and have experience caring for children through a family daycare, helping at my mother’s daycare, and babysitting my young niece. Working with children has always been something I genuinely enjoy because I love helping them learn, grow, and have fun in a safe and supportive environment. I’m patient, dependable, energetic, and creative. I enjoy painting, arts and crafts, cooking, and staying active, and I love incorporating those interests into activities with children. My goal is to build a trusting relationship with families while providing reliable, compassionate care and creating a positive environment where children feel safe, happy, and encouraged to be themselves.
