A little bit about me
I'm incredibly emotionally intelligent, and have a working familiarity with conflict resolution and open and honest communication. I'm an odd but kind person, and that helps me get along great with kids. I love reading, writing, painting, crafting, playing video games and playing TTRPGs. I'm more of a relax at home than a go out and party often person, though I love adventures and exploring nature and the city around me. I love helping be a part of a child's life and being a good influence on them as they become their own person.

Hello! I’m an OSU graduate with 9 years of experience caring for babies, children, and teens, including those with physical & learning disabilities. I have been a nanny on Nanny Lane for 5 years now, with many families and children of varying ages (newborns to 15 years).
I have also been worked at a daycare in the infant classroom, and as a Garden Teacher at a Montessori school throughout college.
I do also have safety training certificates for safe sleep and health & nutrition from the OCCD, as well as CPR and First Aid certification, and enrollment in the Central Background Registry.
I’m an excellent chef with experience cooking nutritious vegetarian & non-vegetarian meals. I also love all animals! I would be happy to help with schoolwork and studying as well. I can also help with transportation and/or day trips to parks and such.
Additionally, I have an athletic background in dance and gymnastics, and would love to help with activities and sports.

A little bit about me
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 at Shalom Austin 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!

Nanny Lucas
"Lucas is calm, kind, responsible, and so great with the kids — they have so much fun playing with him and immediately felt comfortable around him. The fact that he is majoring in nursing is an added bonus and gives us extra peace of mind. He is dependable, easy to communicate with, and creates such a positive, relaxed environment. We absolutely recommend him to other families!"
