About Lauren

I began working with children at the age of 15. I was a counselor in training at a sleep away camp. The following two years I worked as a camp counselor at the same camp. I began babysitting at the age of 18. I have worked with multiple families with multiple children. I currently work at a dance studio as a receptionist and an instructor. The studio mostly caters to children between the ages of 4 through 12. I am currently certified in CPR/AED and working to become First Aid certified. I have received training for First Aid in the past. I have also interned at a police station. This is not related to babysitting, but I believe it speaks for my character. My experience makes me qualified, but my personality is why I have such a great relationship with the kids. Babysitting has always been fun for me. Children are true little sponges that soak up everything. The things they say or do always manage to make my day brighter. Being younger allows me to truly enjoy my time with families. I love to go outside with kids, play a little soccer, baseball, or basketball. Kids always love that I can teach them some dance moves, although usually most kids just prefer me to read to them. I try to give every character in a book their own voice. I haven't had a bad experience sitting. The occasional meltdown is expected and I'm prepared to handle whatever is thrown my way. I have references, a resume and a professional background check are available upon request.
