Meet Lauren

Hello! I'm a 20-year-old graduate student at Thomas Jefferson University, where I'm currently studying to become a pediatric occupational therapist. I have been working with children since I was in middle school and began volunteering at two local therapeutic horseback riding centers. I fell in love with working alongside kids and as I entered high school, I began to babysit for some of the children from the centers. Through these programs I was able to work with fantastic children who had a variety of different special needs, ranging from cerebral palsy to autism.

I then left for undergrad at NYU, and through a different babysitting website I was able to sit for over 20 wonderful families throughout the New York area! I gained a plethora of experience working with younger children, particularly in the range of infants to 4 years old. But I am happy working with kids of all ages, and have babysat children up to age 13!

Here in Philadelphia I do not have a car but am comfortable walking within a reasonable radius to your home. I own a medium sized dog, but love pets of all shapes and sizes! I currently work occasionally for some superb families and go to school full-time, but am free some weekends, weekday evenings, and during breaks. I am CPR Certified, have gone through numerous background checks that I can share, and have many great references. Do not hesitate to contact me with any questions you might have! I look forward to hearing from you!

Lauren is amazing! I recommend her wholeheartedly (though I don't want her schedule to get too full!) She started babysitting my son when he was 9 months old. I was a little nervous about hiring someone I didn't know through a friend, but I knew immediately that she would be great fit and sure enough, my son LOVES her! She is really high energy, always keeps him busy and entertained, and is extremely dependable. She follows directions perfectly when it comes to feeding and nap schedules, and knows how to handle a toddler meltdown like a pro. We like her so much that we not only have used her for dog walking, but we moved to NJ and are still planning to have her babysit from time to time!
