About Lauren

Hi! My name is Lauren and I am a 2nd grade teacher looking for a part-time nannying job for the summer! I am from Johnston and have many years of experience working with children in school, day camp and nannying settings. I started working with kids eight years ago starting at Johnston's summer program, Kids' Teen Connection. There I worked part-time and full time leading groups of kids ranging from ages 5-12 years old. After graduating college from Iowa State with my Degree in Elementary Education, I substituted in the Johnston and West Des Moines Community School Districts full time for a year and a half before starting a full-time teaching position in West Des Moines. Through substituting I was able to work with students aged kindergarten through sixth grade. This school year, I am finishing up my second year teaching second grade. I have also filled in as a substitute nanny the past two summers for a family with three boys ages 1, 4 and 7.
