Hello! My name is Lauren, and I'm from Saint Louis, although originally from Los Angeles! I started as a paid babysitter for a family with 3 children for 4 years when I was 15. When I started babysitting, the children were 2, 5, and 9. After all of these years I've loved watching the children grow up and become amazing people as they find their passions in life. In a less professional sense, I've also helped care for my little god sisters from the time they were born up until they were 6 and 8. I believe that I get along well with children of all ages and personalities, as it all comes down to understanding them and their boundaries, and hearing them out. I have extensive experience with children with ADHD and Autism, so please don't let that be a worry with me. Over the years I’ve had amazing Read more opportunities to work alongside many behavioral therapists with special needs children, and to further expand my understanding and empathy towards neurodivergent children. I am a current college junior at Maryville University, however I take online and asynchronous classes, giving me much more flexibility for my work schedule.
