Meet Elizabeth

  • Comfortable with pets
  • Has a car

I am a 48 year old mother of two beautiful, happy, polite and high achieving young adults. Andrew and Kayla. I was the youngest of 5 children and much younger than my other siblings. I was 10 years older than my first nephew, and with 9 more to follow I became the babysitter. I grew up surrounded by these children as all of my family built homes around my mother and fathers homestead. I then got married and became a stay at home mom. Along with my own two children, I babysat my neighbors two girls and my husbands brothers two children. After my youngest went to kindergarten, I went out into the work force as a medical assistant where I was compassionate about caring for our patients. I left in 2006 when I was offered a position in a bank as a mortgage lender. I remained there until 2014 Read more when the belly pretty much dumped for mortgages. Since I was commission and with little pay, I accepted a job as an office manager of his hydraulic shop, which is where I am employed now. The harshness of the caliber of men that come here is making this job more and more undesirable. I have just been contemplating starting my own cleaning business, but with osteo arthritis, it is sometimes a struggle to move furniture to do a good job. I also would be fairly upset with being disconnected from people. I thought about baby sitting in my area, but since Schuylkill county is a depressed and low income area, there is not much to be offered to help me continue to pay my bills. I am from an upstanding and hard working family. I have great morals, and values. Many of my family members have said that I have the touch of an angel or something of the sort since I am most often than not, able to calm their crying children down. I found this position being offered and felt as though this would be a great fit for all of us. I am in hopes that you will call me for an interview so that we can further discuss the expectations that you have and review the qualities that may be of interest to you. Hopefully we will be the perfect fit. I look forward to hearing from you soon. Thank you for your consideration and time.
