Hello parents, I am a 31 year old Walnut Creek native with over 15 years paid experience with children. I have been working as a full-time nanny for the past 8 years and have helped raise 6 children from infancy. I also have experience with elementary/preteen aged children, but infants and toddlers are my specialty. I've had a recent opening in my schedule. I'm now free weekdays (except Thursdays), and weekends. Mondays and Fridays I'm free all day, Tuesday and Wednesday I'm free mornings until 3:00PM, or evenings after 7:30PM. I am available for occasional hours or scheduled recurring hours. I am free for part time jobs only. I enjoy singing, reading, art projects, outdoor play, heading out for adventures to the park, museums, etc. For over 3 years I attended Music Together classes with a little girl, now almost 5 years old. I have experience with: baby sign language, Read more caring for autistic children, multiples, supervising swimming, driving children to activities. Also, shopping and meal prep (for an additional charge). I'm Trustline certified, have a reliable vehicle, clean driving record, insurance, and many excellent references. I've taken the Infant/Child CPR First Aid course through John Muir several times over the years. Please contact me if you're interested in talking more. Thank you!

We love Lauren. Always makes me laugh as well as the kids. She is very reliable and was there for me at the last minute when I really needed her. The best. She also encourages all of us eat healthy!
