Hi there! My name is Lauren Hensen, I am almost 23 years old and on top of just recently acquiring my Criminal Justice BA, and aspiring to someday be a lawyer, I am a rockstar nanny! Anyone who knows me and has seen me around kids knows how much I adore them and connect with them. I have been babysitting since I was able to at the age of 12. My most recent nanny job was with a single father who had custody over his four children ages 7-14 and I loved it! I never missed a "shift", I would take the kids to their schools in the mornings, go home in the day and then pick them up, make them a snack, clean up around the house, do their homework with them, and then take them to all of their practices. I provided structure for the kids, tutored them, Read more attempted to teach them spanish (babies are a bit easier to teach a second language [: ) and taught them valuable life lessons, such as being slow to anger and respecting one another by calling each other nice names instead of putting each other down how siblings sometimes do. I am deeply saddened that my services are no longer needed by this family, but I am ready for a new venture and a new family. I am unbelievably loyal, honest, trustworthy, committed, and reliable. If you're looking for someone who really cares about your kids, will teach them, has come from a great home with great parents, is educated, funny, easy going, and able to turn chaos into peace, I'm your girl!
