My name is Lauren and I live in Mokena with my 13-year-old son. I always had a passion for working with kids, which is why I decided to major in Communications Disorders and Sciences (Speech Pathology). I have my Bachelors degree in Speech-Language Pathology and am very active in the Autism organization. I have been caring for children for over 15 years and I really enjoy staying active with the kids! I have worked in a variety of childcare settings including schools,homes,hospitals,day cares, etc. I was also a manager for a nursery for many years. I am available M-F and weekends if necessary. I am very flexible on hours, as well as hourly/daily/weekly rates. I am able to provide excellent references if needed! I will offer excellent care and give full fun, loving attention to your child/children. Thank you!

Lauren did a great job watching our kids (3 kids under 2, which isn't easy) but she handled it all like a pro. She's very conscientious, detail-oriented and absolutely at ease with kids. We high recommend her for any job and am happy to discuss as a reference.
