About Lauren
Experience: 10 yrs
COVID-19 vaccinated
I have worked with children professionally for 16 years in the roles of special education teacher, aide, ABA therapist, RBT, nanny, and homeschool teacher. While my specialty is working with children with autism, I have worked with neurotypical children as young as 2 months in a full time caretaker role as well! Sadly my current position is ending with a family that I love dearly due to the child beginning school. My special skill set when needed is helping families to navigate their children's' self injurious, destructive, aggressive, attention-seeking, obsessive-compulsive, and anxiety-driven behaviors using data collection and ABA principles. I seek to understand the function of the child's behavior, then use research based strategies to shape the behavior and instead provide the child with appropriate communication skills to access what they want/need. My rate based on the position ranges from $25-40 an hour and I currently live in Chapel Hill, NC.

Lauren was a big help to our family last summer! She worked well with my son and he enjoyed spending time with her. Lauren has a passion for children with special needs and goes above and beyond for that child. She even offered to provide tools and laminated social stories for us during the school year. I hate that we won't be able to spend time in NC this year because I would hire her in a minute!
