More About Me

Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...

Live-in nanny for 7 years
Mother of 2.5 year old son
Some babysitting/play date experience with many children over the past 10 years

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I love all things nature and wild schooling ideals - parks, forests, trails, beaches, lakes, rivers or even your back yard!

Museums are so much fun to learn and explore from nature and science to art to interactive children's museums.

Sensory Play, Cooking, Reading, Zoo, Imaginative Play, Walking, Train Rides, Library, Whale Watching, Tide Pools, Aquariums, Dancing, Singing, Practical Life Skills, Games, Gardening, Building, Trampoline, Making Play-Doh, Building Forts, etc.

I love experiential learning and allowing children to explore life, get to know themselves and gain insight into the world around them while also learning essential life skills.

The most important part about being a nanny...

Becoming a part of the family and the bonds/connections formed with the children and each member of the family is precious.

The trust that comes along with being family, caring for the children and teaching/learning from them is invaluable.

Creating a safe and sacred container for the children to be themselves and thrive is essential.

Providing healthy meals and knowledge of life skills helps the entire family to thrive.

As a single mother, I know the challenges of parenthood and how absolutely necessary having help can be.

I believe this shift back into nanny work with my son will help both your children and him to grow exponentially together and create secure and beautiful bonds while having a blast and learning many tools such as:

boundaries, responsibility, acceptance, mindfulness, sharing, kindness, empathy, emotional intelligence, integrity, spacial awareness, listening skills, trust, teamwork, and many more.

Another important piece is maintaining childlike wonder!

The most important part about being a nanny...

My favorite part of nannying for 7 years with Atalisa was having the amazing opportunity to provide and create a safe container for her to be loved, seen, heard and for her to have someone she trusted to confide in, could be her dazzling self and thrive!

Her mother had severe mental health issues causing her to be unable to provide the love and care she desired in her heart.

She did her best to give Attie the best life she could and hired me to come and live with them to care for her and their household with all that they needed.

My favorite moments were the times that we could deeply connect on what she was experiencing in her life and coming up with stories to help her heal from the trauma she had experienced.

I loved our silly dance parties, cooking delicious and nutritious food and watching her grow & blossom from 1-8 years old.

We both learned so much from each other and she will forever be one of my favorite people, always in my heart and prayers.

Babysitter Available in Aspen, CO: Elizabeth J.

Hi! I'm Liza, a Roaring Fork Valley native who loves working with children and helping families thrive. I believe childcare should be safe, nurturing, fun, and full of opportunities for learning and adventure.

When I'm not working, you'll find me hiking, paddleboarding, or exploring the outdoors with my dogs. I love encouraging outdoor play, creativity, and curiosity while creating meaningful experiences for the children in my care. I'm dependable, patient, organized, and naturally helpful around the home. I routinely tidy up after activities, keep children's spaces clean and other light housekeeping tasks. If there are specific household routines or projects you'd like help with, I'm always happy to jump in.

As someone who grew up in this valley, I value community, communication, and building lasting relationships. My goal is to provide dependable care, peace of mind for parents, and a positive, supportive environment where children can grow, learn, and have fun.
