A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Lauren, and I absolutely love working with kids. I’ve had the joy of teaching dance to children ages 3 to 11, which helped me build a strong foundation in patience, creativity, and positive communication. I recently earned my bachelor’s degree in Communication Studies, and I’ll be starting a master’s program in Special Education next year.

I’m currently looking for a summer nanny position where I can support a family with care, energy, and kindness. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, and I genuinely enjoy engaging with kids through play, learning, and movement. I’m passionate about creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment—and I’d love to be part of your family’s summer!

A little bit about me

I am a mother of two little boys (3 and 19 months) and have been a certified teacher for over 12 years! Once I had my boys, I decided to stay home with them and start tutoring kindergarten-8th grade students. Now that my oldest will be heading into school, I would love to have another little one to be with throughout the day! My boys and I do lots of hands on learning, outdoor adventure, and even started a preschool program with my oldest this year. I have a background in reading and English language learning, and love being with the littles! In our free time, we love to explore outdoors, play with our giant black lab, and just enjoy the pleasure of being together as a family :)
