I have always loved working with children and have several years of experience caring for and supporting them in a variety of settings. I graduated from Grand Valley State University with a bachelor's degree in Communication Sciences and Disorders and am currently attending Central Michigan University, where I am working toward my master's degree in Speech-Language Pathology to become a speech-language pathologist. I have one year of experience working as a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT), providing therapy to children ages 2–13 diagnosed with autism. Through this role, I gained valuable experience supporting communication, behavior, and social skills while collaborating with families and other professionals. In addition, I have one year of experience as a nanny for a one-year-old boy and approximately three years of babysitting experience caring for children between the ages of infant-12. I am dependable, patient, and enjoy creating fun, engaging activities that help children learn and grow. I also love animals and am very comfortable caring for pets.

Hi! I'm currently a senior at the University of Michigan majoring in Sociology with a minor in Intergroup Relations, and I'm on the Master's of Social Work track. In the future, I hope to work with children and support their mental and emotional well-being.I've worked with children in many different ways! Outside of being a big sister to my two younger sisters, I babysat throughout middle and high school for family friends and my parents' coworkers. I cared for children ranging from 2 to 11 years old. During my sophomore year of college, I worked as a summer camp counselor for children ages 10–12. While there, I earned my Heartsaver CPR certification, which is still valid today.I'm passionate about not only caring for children but also supporting their individual needs, helping them learn, and creating fun, engaging activities that help them grow. I would love the opportunity to bring that enthusiasm and care to your family!

Hi! My name is Lauren. I’m currently a Physician Assistant student at the University of Southern California with the summer off.Before starting PA school, I worked in several healthcare roles including being a medical assistant in both outpatient surgery and aesthetics, phlebotomist, research coordinator, and EMT. I’m CPR certified and experienced in staying calm, responsible, and attentive in fast-paced situations. Outside of school, I’m very creative and crafty — I love making tote bags with iron-on patches, jewelry and bag charms, and scrapbooks. I’d be great at coming up with fun activities to keep kids engaged and entertained. In my free time, I also love Peloton workouts, reading, baking, and spending time at the beach. I’m dependable, organized, and have my own safe, reliable transportation with a clean driving record, so pick-ups and drop-offs are never an issue! I also love pets - especially dogs🐶

I’m a girl who seeks the fun in life and who honestly just loves being around kids. Would love to help out :)
