My first passion in life is caring for people of all ages - from newborn to those in their nineties.... I just love people. I believe everyone deserves a loving and nurturing environment in which to grow, thrive, and have the best quality of life possible. I have run daycare for children with special needs, worked as a Youth and Family Counselor, as a Children's Librarian, and for the past 3 years I have been helping care for a mute quadriplegic boy as well as caring for a sweet woman after having a brain aneurysm. For 3 years prior I cared for elderly dementia patients in their homes. My duties included everything from special diets/meal prep and cooking, homeschooling, medication management and administration, appointments, shopping, bathing, cleaning and laundry, engaging and entertaining, and mobility assisting. I am extremely loving, reliable, punctual, responsible, patient. I look forward to hearing from you and thank you so much for your consideration!

    Lauren has been such a wonderful caregiver to my 2-year-old son. With his severe dietary restrictions, I was nervous entrusting him to someone outside the family. Lauren took the utmost care to provide for his needs and communicate with me. She is extremely reliable and flexible. Most importantly, she really loves my son and cares for him with patience and warmth. I cannot recommend her enough!
