Hello, My name is Lauren. Most of my professional career has been dedicated to teaching and caring for others in school settings, in home and in long term care facilities. I've been a child care center director, preschool teacher, paraprofessional and recreational director. I am a people person, and have worked with individuals ages 0-100. I especially enjoy working with individuals whom have special care needs, more so helping them with developing greater social, community, daily living and developmental skills. I am a non smoker and love dogs, I'd would be happy to help care for your pets as well. I have more of a gentle and warm personality, thus I am a great fit for those who seek more of those qualities in a caregiver. I am reliable and trustworthy and feel great satisfaction and joy in helping others. I've worked with others who are on special diets.. GF/CF, Keto etc. I am hoping to start employment the first week in Sept, but am a little flex to begin sooner. Thank you
