About Lauren

Experience: 10 yrs

My name is Lauren, and I'm reaching out with interest in providing child care for your family. I've worked in education for most of my career, including several years as a teacher, and caring for children has been a natural part of my life from a young age. My mother owned a childcare center for 26 years, and I was involved in every part of it growing up. I hold a bachelor's degree in Psychology and a master's degree in Education, which give me a strong understanding of child development, learning styles, and positive behavior support. I am also a mom to two wonderful school-aged children, and I stay active in youth sports by coaching my son in Majors Baseball and Basketball. I am patient, reliable, and genuinely love helping children feel safe, supported, and confident. I would be grateful for the opportunity to learn more about your family's needs and how I can be a caring, consistent presence in your child's life. Warmly, Lauren
