Hi Parents! I'm looking to supplement my full-time work as a Public Health Nurse by going back to my high school and college roots as a babysitter and nanny. Currently, I work as nurse home visitor teaching child development to parents and working closely with their children. Before nursing school, I was in NYC working full-time as a nanny, before that I was there babysitting for private families while in college. Why do kids like me? Just like Ms. Frizzle, I'm a good confidant. From newborn to preteen, I'm able to take interest in your interests by posing questions and letting you explain it to me. We'll be inquisitive together to learn new things. Being a nurse and a fan of Mary Poppins, I'm able to keep a lively home in order with a calm and effective manner. Homework, bedtime routines or other responsibilities will get done (and without spoonfuls Read more of sugar). I swear, if my name wasn't Lizz, it might be Positive Discipline. I'm comfortable and familiar with supporting a variety of special needs or preferences of your child or family. My rate is $15/hr and I'm looking to work about 6-10 hours a week. Evenings (4p-11p) and weekends are the best, but I'm open to wonky situations or some early mornings. I have experience with overnight and travel care. I'm CPR certified and after the kids go to bed I clean up toys, fold laundry, and do the dishes. I'm seeking LGBT friendly families who need a date night, evening shift, weekend, or last minute sitter. I typically hold a 3 hour minimum and 24 hour notice for cancellation or rescheduling. When starting with a family, I like to do a decided upon "trial period" and then come back and make sure we're all on the same page and everything is going smoothly (anything as informal as an email or chat). ***If the Phila School District has a snow closing, so does my day job and I'd be available in parts of west philly***
