Hello! Please note - I do not have availability for recurring daytime work. Only able to help with one-time/sporadic date nights and some weekend sitting. I have been continuously babysitting for 25+years! I started young - that's what happens when you grow up with 7 brothers. Busy households are nothing new to me. I am experienced with children ages newborn through teen-aged, have spent years working for the same families, and have been a live-in nanny. I have done overnights, extended stays, and traveled with families. I also student-taught and completed all requirements for an elementary teaching certification from Wellesley College, which enhances my perspective on children, their learning/emotional needs, and how to best care for them in a variety of settings. If you would like details on specific jobs or experiences, please don't hesitate to ask. I love providing great care and helping parents feel at ease when they Read more leave their children with me.

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Liz over the last two days, and we cannot recommend her highly enough. From the very start, she was extremely professional, punctual, and stepped in to help us with a last-minute request, which we so appreciated. What truly set her apart was her attentiveness and the way she engaged with our kids. They had so much fun playing with her. She read to them, sang songs, and created such a loving and joyful environment. It was clear how kind and thoughtful she is, and our kids absolutely adored their time with her. Without question, she is hands-down one of the best sitters we’ve ever had, and we enthusiastically recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional care for their children. We would love to continue working with her in the future!

In Austin from out of town, visiting for a wedding. Needed a sitter on short notice and Liz came to the rescue. She watched two toddler boys (1.5 yrs and almost 3 yrs, both in diapers) for the evening of the wedding. When we came home, both kids were asleep and in bed, fed, and clean. When she showed up, Liz was professional and friendly and it was clear she had experience and knew what to do. We appreciated that she checked in on text once in the evening to ask for clarification on which bottles/cups to use for the boys. When we came home, she debriefed us and let us know all was well. I would recommend Liz for anyone looking for a confident, qualified, friendly, mature, and communicative sitter. And I am sure she'd be a great regular nanny too - if we lived in Austin we would have her in our call list!

Liz has been our only sitter for about four months. She started with our daughter when she was about 4 months old. I am a first time mom and super nervous about a stranger watching our little one and from our first meeting she made me feel at ease. Liz is punctual, a natural with children, sings songs, is patient, has a very positive energy about her and knows what she's doing! Our daughter loves her:-) I feel comfortable if I am in a hurry to leave and don't give her very much direction. I feel truly blessed to have found her!
