Hello, my name is Lauren and I am 36 years old. For the past 15 years I have worked at The New England Center for Children. I have a ton of experience with young kids. I was a special needs teacher for both young children (ages 3- 12) and adolescent males for 6 years. Very familiar with ABA. Then I transferred to a preschool teacher position for a typical child classroom for 7 years, after working with special needs. MA EEC Director 1 certified, along with Preschool Lead Teacher certification, also certified with infants and toddlers. I love animals and I have a very friendly, outgoing personality. I am okay with random hours, or short notice. I like to keep kids active and entertained (books, building with blocks, art/ coloring), and love outdoor activities, weather permitting. Also, I am First Aid/ CPR cerftifed for infants/ children/ adults and trained in Read more epi pen administration. Fully vaccinated and boosted, however comfortable wearing a mask, if needed/preferred. I do not mind showing my vaccination card. I hold a Bachelors in Psychology and am also currently saving for a Masters. Just trying to make ends meet and network, please reach out with any questions. Thank you!

Lauren babysat for us recently for a few date nights. She was always prompt, very responsible, and great to work with. The only reason I didn't put 5 stars was she hasn't done a day shift yet but I have no doubts she would be great! We love working with her and will certainly continue to use her help!

Lauren has helped me out a number of times with caring for my toddler. She's prompt, honest, communicative and thoughtful. Lauren is also very knowledgeable about kids of various ages. She takes everything in stride (crabby baby, preparing meals, playing outside, etc.). My son LOVES her and I feel totally comfortable leaving for a number of hours--highly recommended!

I have just recently started having Lauren come to my home to care for my daughter who is severely disabled. Lauren is a fun, fabulous, loving young lady and does great with my daughter.

She is definately worth the phone call and your time!!!
