Hi, my name is Lauren! I have a Masters Degree in Elementary Education from Virginia Commonwealth University, and just completed my 7th year of teaching first grade. I really enjoyed teaching, and was voted Teacher of the Year last school year. I have chosen to be a stay at home mom with my 3-month-old baby boy until he is school aged, and am looking for a job where I can have my son with me. I am looking for anything from nannying to tutoring to homeschooling in my home or yours. My husband and I are both in the Coast Guard Reserve and attend Liberty Live Church in Hampton. I have nannied/babysat for many families through Care.com in the past and would love to provide references for you upon request! I have worked with newborns up to middle school aged children for 10 plus years, as well as worked with Read more families with 4 or more children. I look forward to hearing from you!
