About Lauren

Experience: 6 yrs

Hi families! My name is Lauren! I'm originally from Seattle and recently moved to Chicago with my husband. As I pursue my master's in social work to become a therapist, I'm looking for a nanny position where I can continue doing what I'm passionate about: supporting children as they learn, grow, and thrive. I have nannying and childcare experience with children of various ages, and I love creating a fun, safe, engaging environment where kids can learn, explore, and feel supported. Whether we're doing crafts, reading books, playing outside, baking together, or having dance parties! Before my master's, I worked in marketing, which strengthened my communication, organization, and problem-solving skills that I now bring into childcare. Outside of work and school, I love reading, knitting, baking, exploring Chicago, and spending time with my two cats, Munch and Smokey. I'd love the opportunity to get to know your family and I look forward to connecting with you!

Lauren has babysat for us over the past couple of months for our 6 month old. She has been reliable and flexible with our changing schedules weekly. She keeps our 6 month old preoccupied and has him practice his developmental milestones. We appreciate Lauren so much and definitely plan to use her again in the future.
