About Lauren
Experience: 6 yrs
Hi, I'm Lauren! I'm moving to Austin the first week of May and am looking for a loving family to work with, ideally long-term but I am also open to a summer position. I bring a fun, playful, and energetic spirit while also being reliable and hard-working. Creativity is a big part of who I am - I love arts and crafts, especially painting and drawing, and I enjoy dancing and singing. I love encouraging children to use their imagination and explore their creativity! I also love spending as much time outdoors as possible - whether it's exploring local parks, going on nature walks, swimming, or simply playing in the backyard. I also enjoy planning fun outings such as visits to museums, zoos, trampoline parks or indoor playgrounds. Above all, I want to provide a warm, nurturing environment where your children feel safe, supported, and loved.

Hello, Lauren was my student at Purdue University in the Division of Dance, and she became a professional colleague and friend after her graduation. I’ve know Lauren for 10 years and worked with her closely in the healing arts since 2022. She is a light and most trusted friend. She is one of the best communicators I know, whether it is to plan an event, share stories, express insights or lovingly talk through a disagreement. Lauren works with her heart. She commits, shows up, follows through, speaks honestly and listens extremely well. She loves children and animals especially, and I know her to care deeply for the children she nanny’s for, thinking of ways to help them enjoy creative projects and educational pursuits. She simply enjoys the presence of the children she cares for, and wants them feel good about themselves. I also know her to exercise discipline tactics for children in consistent, calm and clear ways, serving as a model for them to express their wants and needs in similar healthy ways.
