Hi everyone! My name is Lizzi and I am currently a high school counselor. I have always loved working with children and even though I am working at a high school now, elementary age is where most of my experience is. I have worked at multiple daycare centers, babysat multiple families for 15+ years, and was a nanny for the same family for 11 years. I really enjoy reading with kids, going outside, and playing board games/games around the house. If this sounds like a good fit for you or if you have any questions please feel free to reach out. I look forward to meeting you soon :) Summer Availability: Date nights during the week/weekend. Rates may vary based on job description/location Minimums: 4 hours during the week, 5 hours on weekends School Year Availability: Date nights during the week/weekend.

Lizzi is wonderful! Responsible, lots of experience, great with our little girl (who can be shy but warmed up to Lizzi very quickly). Ready to have her back again any time and already booking our next time with her!

Hello! My name is Lauren and I am 28 years old. I have a full time job as a financial analyst during the day and I’m usually free after work and occasionally on weekends. I love working with kids, being around children always puts a smile to my face. I have experience in babysitting for 5 years during college and a few years after. I’ve worked with kids in various ages from infant to teenagers. I love being outdoors and taking walks outside if the weather is nice, if not I have a variety of board games and movies to enjoy indoors.
