Hi! My name is Elizabeth, but I go by Liz! I’ve been doing childcare full time since 2020, but have done consistent babysitting since 2018! I am CPR and first aid trained and am pursuing my bachelors in developmental psychology. I have a background in education with an emphasis on Montessori learning and love doing child-led activities so that they have independence and a sense of identity! If you think I might be a good fit, please don’t hesitate to reach out!
I have seventeen years of experience working with children. I have worked in daycares, babysat children at my house and worked as a nanny. I have one more year left of school and I will have my degree in ECE . I like doing crafts with kids and reading to them. I am CPR certified. I have worked with ages: infant to thirteen years.
With a background as a previous certified facility dog handler, growing up with a family dog, and providing occasional care for friends' dogs and cats, I am confident in managing pets of various temperaments, sizes, and personalities! As an active individual working from home three days a week, I can offer flexible scheduling to accommodate midday potty breaks and walks. I am committed to providing personalized attention to meet your pet's individualized needs, whatever they may be! Side note: also am marathon training this summer if your dog needs a jog :)
I’m kind and caring and follow instructions, I do my service to the best of my ability whether it’s watching someone’s fur baby or watching over someone’s home.
