Meet Lauren

- Comfortable with pets
I have been babysitting on and off for the past 14 years (since the age of 13), and I love to spend time with children of all ages, exposing them to educational play and child-centered fun. I am a nonprofit professional at a global organization that seeks to expand educational opportunity around the world by increasing and accelerating the impact of national organizations that are cultivating the leadership necessary for change. I'm also a former teacher, having taught English to elementary school students in Nicaragua before moving to New York to join Teach for America as a 2012 Corps Member. After two years in the corps as a high school English teacher, I spent a third year teaching as a 7th grade writing teacher in Harlem. I hold a Masters degree in Teaching from Fordham University and a Bachelors degree from Boston University in International Relations with a concentration in Read more Africa and the Middle East & the Environment and Development. I currently reside in Harlem, New York with my husband, Andy.
