Hi there! My name is Lauren Webber, and I am a current substitute teacher who has a couple days per week to spare. I am an energetic, passionate individual who loves kids and has ample experience caring for and teaching them. I am a certified English teacher, and I have my master's degree in strategic communications management. I am also a proud AmeriCorps alum, as I have completed one year in its "Teach for America" program, during which I taught 128 scholars, with ages ranging from 12-18. My specialty is creating a fun, hands-on, educational environment for kids to play and learn in. I grew up babysitting and have cared for more than nine children in my lifetime. While in high school, I babysat children with ages ranging from 6 months old to 10 years old. Due to my unique background of babysitting and teaching, I am completely comfortable with Read more children, and large groups of kids do not scare me! I also have a professional background in social marketing, which means I have tons of event planning experience and activity coordination experience. I am imaginative, while also practical and strategic, which means I can entertain and care for your children while also helping you with necessities around the house. I am equipped with tons of learning activities, musical games, physical activities, arts and crafts, reading challenges and fun exercises. I have a spotless background and criminal history, a clean traffic record, and my own transportation with insurance and a valid CO driver's license. I look forward to meeting you and your family!

Lauren watched our 3yo and 1.5yo while daycare was closed and she was absolutely lovely :) She got along great with the kids and she did the little things like clean dishes and put toys away. Thank you, Lauren!

Lauren is absolutely amazing. I enjoy having her and Harvey by each week. My baby always lights up when he sees them and is always dog tired by the end of their visit. She reads books with them and encourages playtime. We feel so lucky to have Lauren in our lives helping out. I know finding a baby sitter can be nerve-racking especially with a small infant but our son was around 3mo old when we found Lauren and deciding on her was one of the best decisions we've made.

Lauren is amazing! She instantly made us comfortable and confident in her abilities. She is incredibly communicative and kind. My three-year-old loved spending time with her and Lauren played with her nonstop for a long day of sitting. We will definitely ask Lauren back!
