Hi, I'm Elizabeth! I have been babysitting for about six years now. During that time, l've cared for my younger sister, cousins, and family friends' children, which has given me hands-on experience with kids of different ages and needs.I was previously CPR and First Aid certified through ATEM and now perusing recertification, as safety is always my number one priority. I enjoy keeping kids engaged with fun activities, helping with homework if needed, preparing meals and keeping the space clean so we can continue to have fun in a safe environment.I truly enjoy building positive relationships with the kids I care for and creating a caring, comfortable atmosphere for them while their parents are away.
