Hi! My name is Lauren DeWitt, and I am very passionate about caring for children and pets. I have over 12 years of experience working with children mostly ages 4-15, but I have babysat for all ages before. I have worked as a camp counselor for a total of 6 years (day camps and over night camps). I started babysitting when I was in high school, and I've done it as a hobby up until present day. From September 2019 - March 2020 I was a nanny in Brooklyn for a 10 year old girl, where I would spend about 20 hours a week picking her up from school/extracurriculars/cook/clean. I have also been a pet sitter/dog walker for 5 years. ALSO, I have 3 years of teaching art to 1-20 young students at a time. I am very creative, organized, punctual, caring, and flexible.I would love to become a nanny, Read more babysitter, or pet sitter for you!
