Meet Elizabeth

Hello! I am a graduate student, and am getting my masters degree in Social Work at the University of Iowa! I have been working with children extensively since high school. I have two years of experience working with children who are in the foster care system. I have worked in my local church nursery for four years, handling infants to toddlers. I also several years of experience tutoring elementary children. I regularly watch after a family friend's two and five year old, doing things like writing in side walk chalk, taking trips to the park, and playing games. It is my dream to work with children after I get my masters degree, and I would really appreciate a chance to get to know your family!
