Meet Lauren

For the past 5 years I have been working with a wonderful family of six (children aged 11-16) However, circumstances have changed and I am looking for a new family in need of my unique skill set. Having taught in the public sector for 20 years as a middle school educator, I made the choice to change careers. I primarily taught math and art but I also taught English, language arts and science and as a nanny I was often called upon to help tutor the children with their homework assignments. Also, I consider myself an enrichment specialist. I love all things related to art, music, drama, cooking, baking, reading and playing with children. As an active person, I enjoy playing outside with children rather than sitting on a bench. Because of these skills that I bring to the job, I always try to engage children in meaningful activities rather Read more than screen time.
