A little bit about me

Hello! My name is Elizabeth and I have been working in childcare for over 10 years. I’ve worked in multiple different countries with all ages of children from infancy to +12. Some of my passions are traveling the world, learning new languages, yoga, meditation, art, and music. My experience ranges from volunteering my time working for preschools in Peru and Argentina to hosting after-school art programs in Oregon. I feel working with children is a direct way to make an impact on the world. They have so much to teach us and it’s an honor to be a safe space for children to express themselves.

The most important part about being a nanny...

Giving children the attention they need. For me - interacting with the world around us is the most important thing. I never use technology with the kids I care for unless we are intentionally all watching 1 movie together later in the evening as a sort of treat.

The most important part about being a nanny...

One of my favorite memories nannying is going to the beach with the kids I cared for - age 2 and 4. We played in the ocean and the two little girls asked me if I could see their mermaid powers. I said of course and they said then you must be a mermaid too. I have the image of the three of us being mermaids by the sea in my heart forever.
