About Elizabeth

I'd describe my personality as kind, reliable, enthusiastic and honest. I like working with kids because they are authentic and curious. I started working with preschool aged children when I was in college as part of my Early Development Psych class. In my last year of the B. F. A Art Therapy program I complete my internship at a Boarding School specializing in meeting the needs of deaf children elementary to high school age. Last year I worked as a substitute teacher for Staunton City Schools. In my spare time, I like to hike, paddle board, read and crochet. The most inspiring childcare book I have read is written by Steve Rinella Outdoor Kids in an Inside World. My child care style is based on my experiences and inspired by Montessori. I believe in wearing it dry, doing "dangerous" things safely, and a "sure why not?" mind frame. CPR and first aid certificate. Background checked in VA, PA and NC. Complete a 10 hr Virginia State childcare safety course offer by Penn State.
