About Lizzy
Experience: 10 yrs
COVID-19 vaccinated
My name is Lizzy (she/her). I love nature, reading, watching women's soccer, and spending time with my spouse and dog. As a queer woman with a nonbinary partner, I'm looking to find a family to work for who is accepting to all. I worked with infants and toddlers in the Early Childhood Program from Aug 2011 - July 2020. Since 2020 I've nannied for a few families with kids from 5 months to 6 years old. While nannying, I've done everything from creating lesson plans with engaging activities to facilitating homeschool kindergarten. When it comes to taking care of babies (and all kids, really) I'm all about encouraging child-led play, using baby signs, and supporting natural physical development to help foster their independence. I love coming up with developmentally appropriate activities for any kiddo, as well as setting up child centered play spaces to create a more engaging environment. Please message me for more info! Full resume and references available.

Lizzy has been great with both of our boys. We met her when she was the teacher of our oldest son in his infant daycare class. Over the course of the school year, she established a strong bond with our son and proved to be one of our favorite teachers at the school. When the school year ended, we snagged her number for future babysitting work. Since then, she has continued babysitting for us and has also spent time watching our second child. She is a natural with kids and easy going, but also punctual and responsible, a great set of traits to have in a child care worker. We highly recommend her.
