Hello! My name is Lauren but I go by Laura! I am a fun, enthusiastic nanny/baby-sitter! I grew up in a family of five children and I have helped raise my little brothers my entire life. I babysat many family friends children as well as our neighbors children too. I am great with arts and crafts, snacks, and fun games for the little ones! I keep the kids motivated and entertained but still help with homework, cleaning, and also can help with prepping food if needed. I have seven years of experience as a nanny as well with transportation. I graduated college with a bachelors degree in sports medicine and I am CPR/AED and first aid certificated, so staying healthy and happy is my number one goal! I have experience as a nanny where I cooked, cleaned, transported the kids to hobbies and events. I adore children as if they were my own brothers and sisters and I feel I would make a great nanny for your family!
