Hi there! I have been a nanny and/or involved in childcare for almost ten years. I grew up in College Park, Orlando, FL and that is where I had my first nannying jobs. I was privileged to become close with my neighbors who had just moved next door and we became quick family friends. They had just had their first child and now they have four! I took care of all children throughout their lives until they moved to Utah about four years ago. Through them I found that I had a natural ability to care for children. Through word of mouth, I started nannying other families in the Orlando area and resumed during the summers when I was home from college. After I gradutated college in 2013, I came home to study for the LSAT in preparation of law school. During that two year period that I remained in Orlando, I continued to nanny for several families. This nannying included dropping off and picking up from school, transporting to afterschool activities, night sitting, overnight sitting, etc. I also would attend to household duties including laundry, washing and/or empting of dishwasher, the feeding and walking of animals, etc. After attending law school and passing the Florida Bar, I continued to nanny for families [(throughout COVID-19 for those parents who had essential jobs (e.g., a nurse)] while also working at a large insurance company part-time. Eventually, in September 2021, I decided to make the move to Washington, D.C., a goal I had always had. Although I eventually want to resume my law career, providing care to children and being able to assist parents with those they value most important is still a passion of mine that I want to continue. Throughout my nannying career, I have cared for newborns/ infants (e.g., twins, including one with a disability), toddlers, elementary aged children, middle school aged children, and even offering after-school homework help to children in high school. In addition, I have had the privilege to travel with several families on trips on multiple occasions (e.g., Utah and Vermont). Overall, I find myself to be set apart from other nannies or child care providers because I have been able to witness children at every stage of their life, providing me with a unique set of skills for whatever a family may need or require out of a babysitter/ nanny.

I'm originally from the UK and moved to the states about 4 years ago. Over the past decade, I have gained diverse experience working with children of all ages, which has shaped me into a compassionate and versatile childcare provider. I had the privilege of being an aunt to my nieces, learning the joys and responsibilities of nurturing and guiding young minds. For two years, I worked as an au pair in a different country, which broadened my perspective and honed my ability to adapt to different cultural environments. I learned to respect their individual needs, and foster a loving, supportive environment while ensuring open communication with families. As a certified swim instructor for 8 years, I have taught children of all ages and skill levels, from toddlers to teenagers. This role has not only developed my ability to teach essential life skills but also allowed me to form strong, trusting relationships with the children I work with. Additionally, I spent two summers as a counselor, working with children ranging from 7 to 16 years old. These summers solidified my leadership and problem-solving skills, and I learned how to create a positive and safe environment where children can express themselves, build friendships, and grow.

Hello! My name is Lauren, and I absolutely love babies and kids. I have extensive childcare experience, and being gentle and caring is key as I aim to be very attentive and kind. I am CPR/First Aid certified, and am a college graduate from the University of South Florida, with a major in psychology and minor in studio art. I currently work part-time as a Registered Behavior Technician providing therapy to neurodivergent children with Autism, and was previously an assistant teacher at Trinity's School for Children with the 2-3-year-olds where I helped run the classroom by cleaning the children's areas, read them books, helped them eat their lunches, and so on. I was previously a nanny for an infant until he was about 2 years old, and a 14 month old until he was 3! I am also knowledgable about adolescent psychology and am an artist in my free time. I love to be creative! I can help with cleaning, laundry, groceries and so on.
