Hello! My name is Lauren, and I am your typical fresh-faced, overeager 21-year-old girl. As of this past December I have completed my final semester of college at Quinnipiac University, with a degree in English Literature and a minor in Psychology. I have been working with children for eleven years, and have experience with virtually all ages, from newborns to teenagers, in many different capacities: camp counselor, teacher's assistant, tutor, nanny, volunteer, babysitter- you name it. I have been CPR and First-Aid certified since I was nine years old, and have real-life experience in applying both skills. (These licenses are currently expired, but I would of course be happy to renew them before becoming involved with your family). I have extensive experience working with special-needs children, also of all ages, including the Special Olympics, Best Buddies program, Unified Sports program, summer school teaching assistant, and ACES teaching assistant. Please feel Read more free to inquire about these qualifications more thoroughly, if you so desire. My references are readily available upon request, as my previous clients would prefer not to have their information listed outright on my profile. I can promise you that they will be absolutely glowing. =) I'm definitely not your typical "on-her-smartphone-all-day" nanny. I can guarantee that your kids will never be bored with me: I am highly independent and self-sufficient, but I'm also fun, goofy, and have lots of energy! I look forward to hearing from you.
