My first experience in childcare was as camp counselor for kids ages kindergarten through rising 4th grade . I helped make the meals for the campers and I was responsible for leading group meetings and group activities with them including taking them to the pool. I loved being a camp counselor so much I began to babysit for numerous families and I have copies of recommendation letters to give if needed. I began working as a preschool teacher aid in april of 2015 and began as a lead teacher in october of 2015. Since then I have moved on to becoming a private nanny to three amazing children while working part time as a teacher's aide at Old Dominion, I have also become cpr certified and have experience in caring for higher number of children at one time which has equipped me with the ability to think fast on my feet. I love working with children because I am a kid at heart and its fun to see their imaginations at work. Plus my favorite babysitting activities are reading,baking,and cooking.

Ashley has been watching my daughter for about 6 months now and she is hands down the BEST nanny/sitter we have ever had. She is super cooperative, flexible, and is incredible at keeping up with the constant changes in the toddler phase. She is like family to us and we would recommend her to anyone!

Hi! I'm Lauren Arcoraci, and I'm a dedicated, reliable caregiver with many years of hands-on experience supporting families and children of all ages. I began babysitting early on and have continued to grow my skills through caring for multiple children at once, from infants to school-aged kids. I currently work part-time as a hairstylist, which has connected me to many amazing individuals, expanded my creativity, and ability to connect with people of all ages. I'm CPR and First Aid certified, and I always bring a calm, attentive, and safety-focused approach to every home I step into. My goal is to provide a warm and structured environment where children feel comfortable, engaged, and encouraged.

Lauren is truly an angel on earth! She has cared for my son since he was 3 months old (now 2+ years) and she treated him like her own family. I always feel at ease if she is caring for my little one. She is so professional, always on time/communicative, and stuck to my son's schedule. She would give me sweet photo updates throughout the day if thats something you like as well. Count yourself lucky to have her as a nanny/sitter. :)

Lupita has worked as our full-time nanny since our daughter was 3 weeks old. If we weren’t moving, we would’ve worked with her for many more years to come. She took care of our daughter as if she is her own, and is so great at coming up with different ways to keep babies engaged. She is kind and patient, and genuinely invests time to bond with your child. We would highly recommend Lupita and would be more than happy to answer any questions and serve as a reference!

I can’t say enough amazing things about Elizabeth. By far the best child care provider we’ve ever had. She takes care of our 3 with love, compassion, and patience. Her presence is calming in what sometimes feels like total chaos with little ones! And she talks to my kids each with respect, like little people, not babies. No doubt that you will love her.
