A little bit about me

Hey! My name is Lizzie and I am a freshman at The University of South Carolina. I am majoring in Nursing. I am a fun and energetic sitter. I love being a sitter. I love kids which makes the job so rewarding. I love being able to interact and spend time with them! Babysitting is so rewarding to me because there is always so many things to do and learn. I have been babysitting for 3 almost 4 years. However I have always cared for siblings and cousins from a young age. I am CPR certified, First Aid certified, Stop the Bleed certified, OSHA and HIPPA certified. I am also a CNA. On top of babysitting, I also can do housekeeping, laundry, drive the kids around, run errands, and meal prep. I also helped with my schools unified PE class so I do have some experience with special needs. I am ready to create a fun, trustworthy, and supportive environment! I hope to hear from you soon and look forward to getting to know you and your family more! Thank you!
