Meet Lauren
- Registered Nurse
- Comfortable with pets
Hi there! My name is Lauren. I am a graduate from San Francisco State University with a degree in Health Education/Holistic Health. I then moved to Chicago for nursing school and graduated in 2021 from DePaul University. I began work at Lurie Children's Hospital in their Cardiac ICU, and learned extensively about pediatric critical care. Recently, I made the switch to pediatric dialysis. I've been babysitting since I was 14, and since then I've gained immense experience with children of all ages and I truly love interacting with and guiding children. I have also worked as an overnight nanny for newborns and have experience as a Registered Behavior Technician. As such, my rate is typically $25/hour. If my schedule works with yours, I would love to meet you and your little one(s)! Sincerely, Lauren
