Hi, I'm Lizzy! I love kids, especially infants-early elementary. I will be receiving my Bachelor's degree in May 2023. I am majoring in pediatric speech-language pathology, but I am taking a gap year before I apply for Grad school. I am great with kids and have experience babysitting infants and young children. My oldest sister has an at-home daycare and I used to volunteer to help her with her kiddos. I used to help her care for infants and toddlers, and I currently still babysit my nieces and nephew, ages 5 and under. I am reliable, punctual, and very responsible. I have a car and have never received any kind of traffic violation. I am a little introverted at first, but I quickly come out of my shell. When I babysit, I try to not have the tv on too much because I believe in learning through play and interaction.

Because I am studying to become a speech therapist, I have some great skills in child development and learning strategies. I am currently still enrolled in college and I am taking one evening class Tues and Thurs 7-7:50 pm. I also have Mon and Wed afternoon classes from 2-4:30 pm. But, starting in early May, all my classes will be online, so I will be available any time! I am so excited to work with kids and to watch them learn and grow!
