Elizabeth $24 per hour for 1 child

Hi everyone! My name is Elizabeth, and I am a warm, reliable, and creative caregiver with over 10 years of babysitting experience working with children of all ages. I graduated from the University of Notre Dame ('24) with a BA in History and Political Science, and I just recently completed a Master of Philosophy in History from the University of Cambridge in the UK this past summer! I started babysitting at the age of 12 and have since developed a strong ability to connect with kids, keep them engaged, and create a safe, positive environment. In addition to babysitting, I spent nearly 5 years as a gymnastics coach for children ranging from preschool through 8th grade. Being a coach enabled me to build patience, adaptability, and a knack for balancing fun with structure, whether that’s leading active play, helping with homework, or managing bedtime routines. I love planning creative and engaging activities like arts and crafts, outdoor games, and imaginative play, and I always aim to tailor my approach to each child’s personality and interests. I am more than happy to support educational activities as well. I would love the opportunity to support your family and provide attentive, engaging care for your children!
