About Lauren
Experience: 10 yrs
COVID-19 vaccinated
Hello! I'm a teacher taking this school year off so I can be with my 12-month-old full time and nanny another little! I am looking for a family who needs care for an infant or toddler around his age. I've nannied two babies in the past, as well as presently on Weds and Thurs and having a pair is great for social development! I've taught preschool for 3 years (A. S. Child Development), elementary-high school Art full-time for 9 years (BA & Credential), and have several years of nanny experience. I promote development through practical tasks and through play, and am attuned to children's needs at different developmental stages. Philosophies: Reggio E, Montessori, Waldorf. Ideally I'd love to connect with a family who needs care for 6 months to 9 months, as I will return to teaching in Aug 2025. Looking to add 1 or 2 days to my schedule on Mondays, Tuesdays, or Fridays.

I am writing to recommend Lauren H. as a nanny for your family. For one year, she expertly cared for our daughter and her best friend, from the age of 9 months. Lauren became an invaluable part of our family, demonstrating unwavering commitment to the well-being and development of our babies. Lauren has the unique quality of being naturally connected to young children and babies. She understands them, she listens to them, she gets them, and she is fully present when she is with them. I have met very few people, even among those employed in childcare, who possess this rare quality. From the moment Lauren joined us, she exhibited a remarkable level of trustworthiness and kindness. Her focus on the children was unwavering, and she expertly managed their interactions, ensuring that each child received individualized attention and care.
