Hello, my name is Lauren and I am a CNA & professional care-giver with over 8 years experience working with individuals with a variety of care needs, from infant to elderly. I have worked as a Nanny for a family with 3 young children, as a care-giver/support-worker for 27 clients through an assisted living agency in London, as an in-home support worker for a community home in London (for 5 clients), as a care-worker for an individual with multiple and profound disabilities in-home in San Francisco (including feeding, personal care, transfers, mobility and respiratory care) as a day-care/pre-school assistant teacher, a dance/theater instructor for children and young adults (in after school programs in London and for summer camp programs in Alaska and New York) as well as a private care-giver for an individual with advanced Alzheimer's. My work has been extremely varied and the care I give is always tailored to my clients needs, abilities and desired level of care.

    Lauren was a wonderful sitter. She is calm and easy going and gets along great with all ages of kids. My kids loved playing games with her and hanging out just talking. She is very responsible and dependable and always punctual. She was flexible with our schedule as well. We miss her!!
