A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Liz Brant, and I have a genuine love for working with children of all ages. I have several years of babysitting experience, along with hands-on experience working in a preschool, where I cared for and interacted with young children every day. In the preschool, I helped create a safe, fun, and engaging environment by leading activities, reading stories, assisting with arts and crafts, supervising playtime, and supporting children through their daily routines. This experience taught me the importance of patience, creativity, and building trusting relationships with both children and their families. I love helping children learn, grow, and gain confidence while making sure they feel happy, safe, and cared for. I am responsible, dependable, and always strive to provide a positive and nurturing environment where every child can thrive. I would love the opportunity to get to know your family and provide reliable, loving care for your children!

A little bit about me

I am a full time registered nurse at MUSC working in their surgical, trauma, burn ICU. I have experience with child care from as early as age 12, but I officially became a nanny at age 17. I was the primary child care giver for a family with 4 children for 7 years. My husband and I recently moved to Charleston from West Virginia and I am looking for some part time work. I have always had a love for children and would be willing to help with whatever needs are necessary. Because I’m a full time nurse, my schedule is not the same week to week, but I would do my best to work my schedule around your family’s needs.
