I am 34years old and have been babysitting since I was about 14 years old. I received my Masters in Early Childhood and Family Developement which has helped structure the way I care for children. I am hands on and love doing arts and crafts, playing outside, as well as anything else they may enjoy. I am also a pet lover, so if you have pets that is no problem. I have been a full time nanny for going on 9 years. I currently work full time Monday-Friday as a nanny for 3 year old and 1 year old girl and have been with them since the oldest was about 4 months old. Previous to that I was a nanny for a little boy for 5 years until he started school full time. I also was as a preschool teacher for a little over a year. I am available late Read more nights, weekends, and overnight! I have plenty of references available if needed. *I do not typically update my availability via this site because it changes frequently (aside from my nanny position) as I babysit often, so please reach out if you have a date and time you were looking for care*

I recently moved to the area and didn't have anyone to help with childcare for my school age son while I work overnights, so I was very nervous about who would be staying with him. Lauren put my mind at ease as soon as we met. She was responsive in communicating prior to meeting and continued to do so during nights when I was at work. She is smart, pleasant, personable and reliable. My son was actually excited about her coming over (rare!). She engaged him and asked him questions to find out his likes/dislikes. They even did little activities together. I'm very happy to have found her. Would definitely use her again in a heartbeat and recommend to any family.

I was very nervous hiring from Sittercity, but Lauren was absolutely PERFECT! Prior to watching our children, she was extremely flexible and responsive. She was awesome as soon as she came into our home by immediately engaging with our 7 year old daughter. I believe she spoke and played to our 7 year old daughter for 4 straight hours. Our daughter wants us to leave more often so she can hang out w/ Lauren! I would certainly hire Lauren again and strongly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter!

Lauren was absolutely amazing with my twin boys. This was my first time using a service such as this. I was slightly apprehensive just because my boys have never stayed with strangers and I was in an unfamiliar city. She came and got right on their level and engaged immediately. She fed them and totally entertained them. Her responsiveness was awesome. I will definitely use her again if I return. Great disposition. My twins had a blast!
