Hello! My name is Lizz, and I have proudly called Lewes home for the past 26 years after moving to Delaware from Athens, Georgia. I am a single mother of two college-aged children and a Master's-level Special Education Teacher with a lifelong passion for caring for others. My background includes a bachelor's degree in Child and Family Development, and I have been working with children since I was 14 years old. What began as babysitting for family friends and neighbors grew into years of childcare experience throughout college and beyond. In addition to working with children, I also have education and experience in gerontology and caring for seniors. Over the years, I have provided a variety of support services, including babysitting, pet care, house sitting, respite care, and companion care. As a pet owner myself, I am also comfortable caring for animals and currently share my home with two dogs Read more and a cat. Families describe me as dependable, reliable, patient, and easygoing. I have a positive outlook on life and genuinely enjoy helping others. Whether you need childcare for a few hours, support for a family member, or help caring for pets while you're away, I strive to provide safe, compassionate, and attentive care. Now that my children are away at college, I have more flexibility in my schedule. I am especially available during the summer months and also have evening and weekend availability throughout the school year. I would love the opportunity to help support your family and look forward to connecting with you!

This was our first time using any kind of online service for babysitters and leaving the kids with anyone we didn't already know so I was understandably a little nervous but Liz was fantastic with my 2-year old and 5-year old. She has such a calm demeanor and did a great job putting them down for bed. I really appreciated how much experience she has both raising her own children (now adults) as well as being a school teacher. Having someone with so much maturity really helped with my comfort level, especially since my daughters still so young. I would absolutely recommend Liz and use her as a sitter again.

Liz was wonderful! She’s very sweet and knowledgeable about babies and kids, and my 10 month old loved playing with her before his bedtime. She has a very warm energy, and provided a lot of detail about her background, which made me feel immediately comfortable and confident that my son was in good hands! We will definitely keep her number for the next time we visit Bethany. :)

This is much delayed but we loved Elizabeth (Liz). She watched four of our kids (a two and three year and and two 5.5 year olds) at one point and was never overwhelmed! She helped get them all to bed and was very responsive and responsible. She was very sweet and accommodating. We can’t wait to use her again the next time we are in rehoboth! (But please don’t book her the same week we are there! ;) Highly recommend!!
