Hi, I'm Lauren! I am a caretaker, an artist and a hobby gardener. As one of six children I am no stranger to the joy-filled chaos of young children, or the necessity of multitasking and prep work to keep a happy household running smoothly. In addition to the immediate tasks of childcare like playtime, planning activities, and helping with schoolwork, I am also comfortable preparing meals and snacks, cleaning and tidying the house, and running whatever errands are most helpful. I have been the go-to neighborhood babysitter since I was a teenager and have had the pleasure of taking care of kids from 6 week old infants to twelve year old preteens! I am Red Cross CPR and First Aid Certified and have volunteer experience working with kids with childhood illness including those dealing with chronic illness, cancer, heart conditions, stoma bags, and other GI issues. I would consider one of my greatest strengths my sincere belief that playing is good for your brain and for your heart, and as long as we can work together there's nothing we can't do. If you have any interest in seeing if I'd be a good fit for your family, please don't hesitate to reach out!

Hello! My name is Barida, and I’m a 29-year-old Master’s graduate in Management Information Systems. I also hold a Bachelor’s degree in French and Theatre Arts from Hood College. Over the past six years, I’ve had the joy of working as a nanny for six families, caring for children between the ages of 1 and 13. In my most recent role, I cared for a 2-year-old girl and her younger brother, engaging them in arts and crafts, storytime, and even introducing them to basic French. I’m deeply passionate about working with children — they remind me to appreciate the simple things in life. Growing up watching my mother care for children inspired my love for nurturing young minds. I enjoy encouraging creativity through reading, writing, spelling, and other meaningful learning activities, as well as helping with homework and supporting each child’s growth. Outside of childcare, I’m a creative at heart with interests in fashion, art, and interior design. In my free time, I enjoy decorating spaces, creating lifestyle content, working out, and experimenting with simple, healthy recipes.
