I have gained experience in childcare through my 3 year modern apprenticeship in which I gained experience with working with children aged between 0-5years, through my time I gained the knowledge of the pre birth to three guidelines, curriculum for excellence, girfec and all the new policies and guidelines within Falkirk council. I have gained experience in working with children with additional support needs also. I am a kind caring and bubbly person, I am outgoing and creative and love to come up with new activities and games to play with the children I work along side with. I am a reliable and organised person and love my roll in working with children.

Lauren came to our home to look after our 2½ year old son. He had never been left with a babysitter before (other than family members) but he immediately took to Lauren. She was punctual, professional, and looked after our little boy brilliantly, and even managed to settle him down to sleep. We would use Lauren again and would happily recommend her to anyone."
