About Lauren
Experience: 10 yrs
Hi, I'm Lauren. I am a 33-year-old Portland resident with a Bachelors degree in Early Childhood Education and a Minor in Special Education. With over 10 years of experience in preschools, elementary schools, and as a nanny, I've gained a deep understanding of child development and nurturing care. Creating inclusive, stimulating environments where children thrive is my passion. Witnessing their curiosity and growth brings unparalleled fulfillment. Recently laid off from a coprorate job I loved, I seek a summer childcare role to continue making a positive impact while exploring new career paths. In my free time I enjoy hiking, backpacking, paddle boarding, or snowboarding. I also enjoy reading, practicing yoga, and spending time with my dog and friends. With my background and education, I offer tailored care, creating a warm, welcoming atmosphere where children thrive. If you seek a caregiver who's a true partner in your child's growth and happiness, that's me.
Most recent review
I cannot recommend Lauren highly enough. She watched our daughter everyday for more than six months. Within the first week, we knew we’d struck gold. She was amazingly patient and attentive with our kid, but also able to push her. (She was able to make some basic signs stick in a way we couldn’t.) We were very sad when she moved on, but have kept in touch both as friends and for occasional date night child care. In our house, Lauren will forever be the GOAT.
