Hello Nanny Family,
I'd describe my personality as kind, patient, and fun!
I have a degree in Mathematics, a minor in Adventure Education, I can swim, drive, and I speak English (only). Happy to do household cleaning and laundry.
I like working with kids, I find it very rewarding to help guide them to do something new, such as a hard a math problem, a handstand, or an authentic apology.
I'm looking for a stable reoccurring job that feeling right for me, the kids and the family.
I started working with kids when I was in high school as a baby sitter.
Then I was a camp counselor at a Girl Scout Camp I grew up at and I love so much!
Since then I have Nannied for families, and babysat.
I have worked with children starting at 6 weeks and up.
I have also worked at various gyms with kids. An aerial arts gym leading them through aerial silks and aerial hammock, and an American Ninja Warrior Gym, teaching gymnastics and such.
In my spare time, I do various circus arts, partner acrobatics, hiking, swimming in the ocean, rock climbing, aerial silks, handstands, and Slacklining. I also sing and play ukulele, crochet, do crafts, weave baskets, and read.
One thing you should know about me is l like to think of myself as a fun, but I also do not condone bratty behavior. I would like to think I am quite the opposite to a pushover in that regard.
My skills include my playfulness, tutoring, and timeliness.
I am adult and child First Aid, CPR and AED certified.
Fully vaccinated.
I do not smoke.
I am licensed to drive.
I'm based out of Park Slope and am open for interviews.
Have a lovely day!
Liz
“Liz was our nanny for daughters aged <18 months and 6 years respectively. She was with us until the younger one started pre-school at 18 months and then continued as a periodic sitter for several months more. Her responsibility was solely childcare (no food prep, driving etc.) and they were either at home or went out to the park or for walks around the neighborhood. She was a wonderful, kind, responsible (punctual to the dot!), and joyful personality whom the girls absolutely adored and viewed more as a playmate and friend. Her acrobatic skills were especially a treat as she got the girls being active and doing tricks, which even to this day remains something they enjoy doing (they are now 5 & 10). She also brought lots of fun costumes to play dress up with and they never failed to have a rousingly entertaining time. I highly recommend Liz and I think she'd be ideal especially for very active and creative kids.”
