About Elizabeth

Experience: 3 yrs

I'd describe my personality as kind, reliable, enthusiastic and honest. I like working with kids because they are authentic and curious. I started working with preschool aged children when I was in college as part of my Early Development Psych class. In my last year of the B. F. A Art Therapy program I complete my internship at a Boarding School specializing in meeting the needs of deaf children elementary to high school age. Last year I worked as a substitute teacher for Staunton City Schools. In my spare time, I like to hike, paddle board, read and crochet. The most inspiring childcare book I have read is written by Steve Rinella Outdoor Kids in an Inside World. My child care style is based on my experiences and inspired by Montessori. I believe in wearing it dry, doing "dangerous" things safely, and a "sure why not?" mind frame. CPR and first aid certificate. Background checked in VA, PA and NC. Complete a 10 hr Virginia State childcare safety course offer by Penn State.

My 16 month old loved Ms. Liz. She was engaging, safe, and interactive with him. She asked all the right questions to consider his unique routine and needs. He bonded with her quickly.
