Lauren Lourens
For all enquiries about this workshop:

I am Lauren Lourens, your passionate facilitator for the Nanny Movement in Cape Town!
Upon discovering the Nanny Movement, I was immediately drawn to the heart and passion that the brand embodies. I was thrilled to take on the role of facilitator and soon had the wonderful opportunity to also become the Western Cape recruiter. This experience resonated with my desire to uplift and make a difference in the lives of others, especially children. As a mother of two boys, I understand the profound impact that nurturing and supportive caregivers have on young lives, and I’m excited to contribute to that mission.
I now have the wonderful opportunity to support not only unemployed nannies, au pairs, and school teachers in the Western Cape, but also to make a meaningful difference in how they care for your children. By providing them with essential tools and resources, I aim to empower these caregivers to be the best they can be in their roles.
I believe that every child deserves a caring environment where they can thrive, and I’m committed to helping families find the right support. Together, we can nurture a brighter future for our children!
