About Elizabeth

I'd describe my personality as empathetic, attentive, and joyful. I like working with kids because they help to bring out my own childlike wonder and curiosity. Children see the world with much awe and excitement, and it is so refreshing to be around. I also love sharing my love for the natural world with young people! I started working with kids when I was in 5th grade. I have young parents, so when I was growing up, many of my parents friends had babies and toddlers that I got to babysit from a young age. I babysat regularly through middle school and high school. In my spare time, I love to hike, cook, read, practice yoga asanas, write and camp. I really center my lifestyle around living and working in the outdoors. My skills include education, first aid (I have my Wilderness first responder certification), cooking, and cleaning. I have a high emotional intelligence, so tending to the kids emotional needs is something that comes very naturally to me.
