Lauren C. — Babysitter in Colonial Place, Richmond

About Lauren

Hi, I’m a 35 year old college graduate with 20+ years of babysitting and nannying experience. I’ve cared for all ages, including infants, and I’ve also worked at a library creating and delivering programming for children and teens. I love engaging kids in their interests, and I’m a big fan of reading, arts and crafts, and the outdoors. I’m also happy to help with homework and can tutor younger ages. I enjoy working with children of all ages and abilities. I’m knowledgeable about Down Syndrome, Autism, and ADHD. I love working with neurodivergent children and parents. I have reliable transportation, an excellent driving record, and I can accommodate up to 4 children (3 in the backseat) in my Subaru Forester. I’ve trained numerous times in First Aid/CPR/AED for all ages, and I’ve also completed the Safe Sleep Ambassador Training from Cribs for Kids (10/2024). I’m up to date on vaccinations (8/2025). In addition to babysitting, I’m available as a mother’s helper and petsitter. I love animals and have no allergies. *Cancellations with less than 24 hours notice: Please plan to pay for the full booking.
