I have interned for 2 years at Riverplace Elementary being apart of the Ready, Set, Teach program when I attended Vandegrift High School. I worked with a classroom full of first and second graders. Additionally I have volunteered with pre-k (4 year olds). I have also babysat family friends children in the past ages ranging from 1-7 years old. I have also nannied for a little over a year with two kiddos since they were 4 months and 2 years old.I would say I am a quick learner, very outgoing and caring. I love working with kids and will find multiple activities to make sure they are happy and having a great time. My major is elementary education early childhood to 6th grade.

Hi, I’m Lizzie! I’ve been babysitting since high school, and my passion for working with children has only grown over the years. I’m currently working toward a degree in Early Childhood Education, and I love expanding my knowledge and skills to help children thrive. My career in childcare began at a nonprofit organization for deaf children called No Limits, where I gained valuable experience supporting diverse learning needs. That role inspired me to become a preschool teacher at Primrose School, where I worked with 3-year-olds and deepened my love for early childhood education. Most recently, I nannied for two infants in a nanny share until they began daycare. Along with babysitting, I enjoy creating fun, age-appropriate activities that encourage early learning and development. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, and I’m passionate about providing a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment for children of all ages. I’m currently available for date nights, backup care, and part-time positions, and I look forward to connecting with new families!

Hi! I recently graduated from undergrad from SMU in Dallas and this fall I am starting up again as a graduate student studying Health Management. I love babysitting because I love working with children and I have been babysitting since 15. I also serve every year at VBS in my local church in the summers back home. Some personal hobbies of mine are reading and trying new restaurants around Dallas.
