Hi, my name is Lauren and I am 29 years old. I work as a Specialized Paraprofessional in the school districts. I help special needs students, and care for their physical, emotional health and safety, affirming their abilities, and striving to promote dignity in all relationships. I'm a graduate from Loyola Marymount University with a bachelor's in Health and Human Sciences and a Minor in Dance and Liberal Arts. I am in the process of pursuing graduate school for Occupational Therapy. A huge passion of mine is dancing. I have been dancing all of my life since the age of three, which has taught me how to be dedicated, committed and passionate about something. Growing up, my Grandmother was the "nanny of the town"Watching my grandmother care and love for the children she watched instilled a natural care and love in my heart to do just as she did. I am an upbeat, caring and hard working person who is willing to do whatever it takes to make the children and parents happy with my performance
