This is a criminal background check required for all caregivers before they can message families.
Experience: 10 yrs
I have been working with children for the past 25 years, beginning as a mother's helper for our neighbors up the block and evolving into a nanny, babysitter, camp counselor and swim instructor. I have substituted for hundreds of classrooms around the city for SFUSD for several years after grad school. After being a teacher at a preschool for an inclusion program, I realize the bureaucracy involved with being at a public entity would often mean having to watch children suffer and not being able to help them, and administrators making decisions that problematically affecting the entire school. I miss working one-on-one with kids and specifically being employed by a family where the pace feels more natural And present. I love kids of all age groups and have had tremendous experience working with children from the ages of infancy to teenagers. I have letters of recommendation upon request.
Lauren jumped right in with two kids: one less than a year and one toddler. She not only balanced their foundational needs and schedule, but each was able to have fun during their care. We loved all the pictures and she made us feel at ease even the first time meeting her. With extensive experience I would trust Lauren with our little ones time and time again!
