About Lauren

I'd describe my personality as loving, kind, and playful with enthusiasm for learning and exploring! I like working with kids because they see wonder in the world making everything brighter! Being part of a child's growth and development brings me joy. Child care perfectly aligns with my personality, skills, and joy! I began working with kids after college in 2014. I taught early childhood classes and led field trips at an aquarium; finding my passion in early child care and education, I started full time child care work in 2022. In my spare time, I like to create art, music, painting, crochet, and more. I'm outdoorsy and an avid hiker and backpack camper. Spending time with good friends and family is important to me, and I practice yoga for mental, emotional, and physical health. My skills include child social-emotional development, teaching through play and creating fun activities, listening, engaging with and understanding children so they feel seen, heard, valued, and loved.
