Elizabeth H.
- 4 years paid experience
- 5 miles
Hello! My name is Elizabeth, and I’m a responsible and compassionate caregiver with both professional and academic experience working with children. I hold a Master’s and Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration and work full-time as an engineer analyst, but I’m looking to provide after-school care, date-night help, or weekend support for families who need an extra hand. Before my current career, I worked in child care,behavioral health settings and was a swim instructor as well which gave me strong skills in patience, communication, and safety awareness—qualities that naturally carry over to childcare. I’m CPR certified, dependable, and very comfortable helping with homework, preparing meals, light clean-up, and creating fun, structured activities. Families describe me as warm, trustworthy, and attentive. My goal is to make sure your kids feel safe, cared for, and genuinely enjoy their time while you’re away.

I am now available most days, nights or overnights! Either full (5 days/nights) or part time (1,2, or 3 days/nights) per week. I am used to working long hours, as most of my jobs have been for families within the medical community. In the meantime, I am also available for evening, your date nights, or overnights should you need a weekend away. Whatever your schedule is, please ask me, I may be able to help you, or work something out on a temporary basis. I graduated from C.E.R.T. (community emergency response team) Academy, taught by San Diego Fire-Rescue Dept. I am happy to be of service to my community in case of a disaster or terrorist attack. I have all three CPR certificates for infant, child, and adult. My first aid training exceeds that of the general public. I love babies/kids of all ages and they love me! I appreciate the hard work and sacrifice of our military families and I give military family discounts! If your child has any special needs, such as medical or behavioral, I may charge a little more. You may contact me by text message or calling. Please leave a message with your name, number, area you live in, and the times and date you are looking for a sitter and I will be happy to return your call as soon as I am able. Thank you!
