I'm 40 years and a TRUE miracle baby.  I was 1.5 pounds when i was born in New York City Hospital in 1975. My mother was very ill and i had to be taken out early.  I was in an incubator for 6 months before I was able to come home. My father once told me he could fit me in his coat pocket and that i was the size of his palm. 5 months later my mother passed away due to kidney failure, leaving my father to raise 2 infants at the age of 22. He came here from Greece and barely spoke a lick of English, but he did a phenomenal job raising us with my step mother whom he met a few years later. They have been married for over 28 years now i think. I grew up in  Roselle Park with my parents & older brother. Read more I went to Roselle Park High School, I played Softball & did Cheerleading. Upon graduating in 1994, I went to Cittone Institute for Court Stenography. I did that for a few years til i realized it was not for me. I am very much a people person and do not like to be confined to one space. I like to move around a lot so there was no way i was able to sit in a court room, not being able to move or speak for however many hours. I know the money is good, but I am more about being happy with my job then how much money i make After that i got into the restaurant business for a long time, then left and did some paralegal work for an attorney for about a year. After realizing that i am not an office/9-5 person, I went to bartending school and I've been doing that every since. I love bartending, I love the atmosphere, i love the chaos, i love talking/meeting people, making drinks and most of all the money. After 20 years of bartending I decided enough was enough and it was time to move on to something new.  I love dogs, We have an 11 year old Boxer named DALLAS and she's the sweetest thing in the world. She LOVES LOVES babies & children. I belong to the New Jersey Boxer Rescue where i wound up rescuing/fostering and then adopting our now 6 year old boxer Bella.  I do love helping people as well. I was always told that I'm a "healer" and should be a therapist, bartending for so many years, you tend to hear a lot of peoples problems and i love trying to do whatever i can to help someone out or cheer them up.   I have been with one family who found me on this website for 5 years now. Now that the kids are growing up , one is 9 the other 5 they don't really need me on a regular basis but i still remain close with them, and will be for the rest of my life.

Liza is a bright, energetic, considerate person. She is reliable, prompt and assertive when necessary. She is skilled in working with ADD and emotional behaviors. She follows our instructions but is also able to make intelligent decisions when necessary. She knows how to discipline effectively and with a sensitive touch. She has a nice way about her that has made us feel as though we've known her for a long time. My kids love her. We currently employ her for weekend stays while my husband and I travel and for evenings when I needs to accomplish other responsibilities. We have known her now for a couple months. She is an asset for any home looking to hire a caregiver. By the way, she is an excellent pet lover.
