A little bit about me

I have been working as a nanny, part and full time for nearly 20 years, and am also a birth & postpartum doula and private chef. I have ample experience with all age ranges including newborns and multiples. I am very hands on, child-led, creative and playful, but maintain strong boundaries and calm so that children, parents and I can all thrive in a healthy, nourishing environment.

I grew up in NH, was home-schooled along with my four siblings until high school by environmentalist & teacher parents, and have a BA in Theatre & Film from Smith College. I am also a writer and filmmaker, and continue to grow as an artist and human alongside the little ones I care for.

I am very familiar with Montessori, Waldorf and RIE styles, and continue my professional education whenever possible. In the interim between now and my next perfect fit, I am taking courses and becoming certified as a Newborn Care Specialist, and am doing my second Doula training.

I am fully vaccinated.

Lauren S. - Seeking Work in Mill Valley

Full-Time Child Care Provider Available in Mill Valley, CA: Lauren S.

Hi! I’m Lauren, a mom of 4-year-old twin girls with a lifelong love of caring for children. I’ve been working with children and families since I was 14, and becoming a mother myself has only deepened my appreciation for the importance of warm, attentive, and dependable care.

I’m compassionate, nurturing, patient, and affectionate by nature. I love children of all ages, but I have an especially soft spot for babies and would love to find a family looking for loving, consistent infant care.

I have a strong interest in child development and love supporting children as they grow, explore, communicate, and develop their own personalities through play, reading, music, outdoor time, and everyday experiences.

Above all, I have tremendous respect for each family’s individual parenting style, routines, and values. My goal is to become someone you genuinely trust to care for your child with warmth, patience, respect, and joy.
