A little bit about me

Hello! My name is Elizabeth Walker and I am a college student on summer break. I am from DC but moved to Charleston last year. I was raised with 3 siblings so I am very much acquainted with a busy household and think they are super fun! Back in DC, I was a camp counselor (3+ years) and coach (basketball and track for two seasons) for 1st-4th graders. I absolutely loved getting to know the kids and helping them learn new things! I am available to work all of July but am getting back into classes in August. I will be able to part time babysit in August after my academic day is done.

A little bit about me

Hello, my name is America. I’m currently transitioning from my preschool teaching career into becoming a nanny. I’ve been working with children since I was 17 years old, and as the oldest of three siblings, caring for kids has always been a natural part of my life.

In my free time, I enjoy playing guitar, singing karaoke, painting, watching anime, and reading. I’m excited to begin this nanny journey and look forward to creating meaningful memories while supporting children’s growth in a fun, safe, and nurturing environment.
