Meet Lauren
- Comfortable with pets
Hi! I'm Lauren — a responsible, energetic, and experienced caregiver based in Stuytown. I’m CPR certified, highly organized, and take pride in being someone families can count on. Before starting my professional career in employee benefits, I was a Division I rower. That experience taught me discipline, time management, and resilience — all of which show up in how I care for kids. I’m punctual, patient, and great at following routines while bringing positive energy and fun to every babysitting session. I’ve spent years babysitting for families with children ranging from infants to pre-teens. I’m comfortable handling multiple kids at once, helping with homework, preparing simple meals, organizing playtime, and navigating bedtime. Whether it's creative crafts, outdoor play, or calming story time, I genuinely enjoy engaging kids in ways that are thoughtful and age-appropriate. Families I work with appreciate that I show up on time, take initiative, and create a Read more calm, safe environment for their children. I communicate clearly with parents and always follow the routines and boundaries they’ve set at home. I understand how important it is to find someone you trust — not just to keep your kids safe, but to care for them like you would. I currently work full-time in the employee benefits industry, so I’m available for evening and weekend babysitting, as well as occasional weekday support with notice. Living in Stuytown makes me especially convenient for families nearby — I can be there quickly and reliably, even on short notice. I’m also completely comfortable around dogs and happy to help out in homes with pets. I know how much pets are part of the family, and I’m always mindful and friendly with four-legged companions. If you're looking for someone dependable, warm, and genuinely invested in your child’s well-being, I’d love to be a trusted part of your support system. Babysitting isn’t just a side gig for me — I truly care about the families I work with and aim to bring a calm, positive presence into your home.
