About Lauren
Experience: 10 yrs
COVID-19 vaccinated
My name is Lauren and I am a former Philly school district 6th grade ELA and social studies teacher. I have a Master's in Education from the University of San Francisco and 7 years of classroom experience plus 10+ years of babysitting! I am currently working part time with a family I love but looking for some extra hours either tutoring or babysitting. I have a very child-led, Montessori-inspired, gentle approach to childcare, combined with a strong Reading and Math background both as a student and teacher. I really enjoy working with kids and am currently in transition as I figure out how best to do so in a way that is more sustainable for me than classroom teaching! I love to read, write, cook, spend time outdoors, go to museums and watch movies and shows. I look forward to chatting with you!

Lauren is sweet ,bright, reliable and professional. She is warm and gentle with kids, but able to communicate boundaries clearly and firmly. She has worked with my son (6) for 3 years and I strongly recommend her.
