Elizabeth is a Kitsap County Nanny that loves to support children!

“I am a very fun, passionate, and lively individual. I am warm, loving, and very loyal. I am spirited and adventurous. I have a great sense of humor and am patient. I am nurturing and very protective. I am a fiercely loyal person who prizes my relationships with others above all else. I am creative and love to express myself through many different mediums. I have a passion for learning, writing and inspiring those around me to live full lives. I am very passionate about children growing up with a positive self-image and would love to help. My family is the center of my world and a huge source of strength, courage, and comfort to me. I have been a nanny to several families throughout the last few years and have loved every minute of it. I want to nanny because it stretches me as an individual, as a woman. Being a nanny makes me a better problem solver, it makes me less self-centered and it increases my capacity to love. I consider caring for someone’s most treasured thing on the earth to be a great honor. I want to be a Kitsap County Nanny because it is about investing in and changing the lives of others. It brings me a lot of pride and joy to know that I can aid in teaching children to be intelligent, kind, confident, and loving individuals. I want my life to be about making a difference, about shaping young minds and nannying is a wonderful arena to do that in. If I was asked to describe in one sentence the reason I have chosen to be in the nanny profession over any other it would have to be because it is a more fulfilling, rewarding, and life altering profession than many I could have chosen. The families I have worked for have changed me forever and have given me memories to last a lifetime and brought me so much joy. I cannot think of another job that touches your life in such a way and leaves it is handprint on your heart. I have been serving in some form of childcare experience for over five years and can honestly say I LOVE what I do! I feel the children are amazing little people who are waiting to be loved, cared for and molded. My goal as a nanny is to provide a safe, caring, and nurturing environment for children. I want to stimulate their minds, help set their imaginations free and shower them with love. I want to put the parents I work for at ease and help add stability and routine to their home. I am able to do housekeeping, errands, and meal preparation. If I had to describe myself in five adjectives, I would say that I am loving, creative, protective, passionate, and loyal. Activities that I would like to incorporate in the daily plan for the family I care for would include visits to the park, museums, classes, swimming, cooking, crafts, reading, singing, and games. If asked to describe the perfect family seeking a nanny like me I would hope they would be a warm and loving family that values structure but also values having fun. I would love them to be like an extended family to me and to have great open communication with them. I want to feel loved and valued by the family I am working for. I highly value open communication and trust between me and the families I work for.”

“Elizabeth is a wonderful Kitsap County Nanny who has been an important part of my children's lives since they were newborns. I first met Lizzie 9 years ago. My children are now 5 and 7 years old. Lizzie has been a regular caretaker for us from the beginning. She is the only one I considered asking to stay with my children while I was away for a couple of months. My husband works in another city and is gone for almost a week at a time; so, I needed someone I felt completely comfortable with to stay with them in our home. She was amazing with them during that time! I already knew she was the right choice for this, but she exceeded my expectations. I cannot express how much easier it made my travel knowing that my kids were happy with Elizabeth there. Whether for a few minutes or a week at a time she always goes above and beyond. This is true not only in her child caring, but throughout her daily life. Elizabeth is caring and compassionate toward everyone. She is a caretaker by nature. She underwent training as a C.N.A. because of her interest in taking care of people. Having been involved in theater since childhood, she is creative. She always had ideas of how to keep the kids entertained, sometimes just by being silly. It is not unusual to come home and have the kids show me some new song and dance she had made up with them or have a cake or cookies baked and decorated just because. (And the kitchen was always clean afterward.) She does not take herself too seriously, although she is very responsible and reliable. She stays in control of situations and is not easily manipulated if she is tested. Although she has a good time and keeps things fun, she respects the house rules and boundaries. I was comfortable having her pick up my children at school or take them to birthday parties if I could not go. Lizzie takes an interest in and has a good understanding of child development and their milestones. She has so much patience when necessary because of her ability to think like they do and reason with them (if possible!) She has certainly been able to diffuse a few sibling arguments better than I could at the time! I honestly have so many things I could say about Lizzie, but nothing I will do her justice. We all miss Lizzie, but we also know that no matter what she does and where she goes, the world is truly a better place when she is around.”

“Liz was with our family since the time my husband and I both went back to work, when our daughter was three months old, until she moved to New York, when our daughter was twelve months old. One of my goals was to breast feed until our daughter was a year old, and Liz helped me achieve this goal. She would come early to wash and prepare my pumping supplies before I would go to work. She learned the importance of handling breast milk and how to store/prepare/serve the breast milk, and sanitize the bottles. Occasionally, Liz would bring our daughter to my work when I would forget something, so I could breast-feed her there. If there were anything we needed her to do, Liz would always follow through when asked. We also had Liz do our daughter’s laundry and clean her toys. If our daughter was not feeling well, Liz was great at observing for symptoms and following up with us. She even took her to the pediatrician for us a couple of times. We did not have to worry about Liz not showing up to work. In fact, Liz was very flexible about coming early or staying late when we needed her. She scheduled personal appointments and activities during times when she was not scheduled to work. When there was a large snowstorm, and it was dangerous to leave, Liz stayed the night with us. One time when I needed to travel for work, Liz came with me and stayed with my daughter and I in the hotel. This was extremely helpful so that I could still breast-feed my daughter, and I was not ready to leave her at home at night without me yet. Liz is wonderful with babies! She also has an amazing voice, and my daughter would love to hear her sing. We always felt comfortable with Liz caring for our daughter, and we trusted her in our home. Liz has a positive attitude, which is an amazing quality to have as a Kitsap County Nanny. She is stern when she needs to be but redirects our daughter instead of getting mad at her. Liz would still be our nanny if she hadn’t moved.”
