Lauren A.

I like working with kids because I find that no matter what there is NEVER a dull moment. I also believe that no matter a child's age, I am always learning something new from them which is beyond humbling.

I’m looking for a job that challenges me to do everything I can to leave a positive impression on every child I meet. I want to see them strive to do great things, make leaps and bounds in their accomplishments, and truly experience life and enjoy it.

I started working with kids when I was in MS for a local church for the Sunday service daycare & this opportunity opened doors to individual babysitting for many years. After HS I worked at La Patite teaching infants all the way to VPK & school age. I was blessed to become a mother to my daughter who is now almost 11.

One thing you should know about me is that when your child is with me, I will take care of them as if they were my own. I firmly believe it is very important to make sure that there is always open communication.
