Hi! I’m Elizabeth, and I’ve been working with children for about 9 years, starting at age 15 in an in-home daycare setting. Since then, I’ve worked in a daycare center, student-taught kindergarten, and substituted for students from pre-K through 8th grade. I’ve cared for children from 6 months through school age and truly love what I do!I’m creative, patient, dependable, and always looking for fun ways to keep kids engaged. I love getting crafty and a little messy with activities like slime, simple science experiments, baking soda and vinegar experiments, reading, games, and more. I’m a licensed teacher with an undergraduate degree in Elementary Education, BLS/CPR certified, bilingual in English and Spanish, and I’m currently pursuing my doctorate in Occupational Therapy. I’d love the opportunity to provide your child with a safe, fun, and caring experience!
