About Eliza

Hi there! I'm currently a Master of Social Work graduate student with a background in early childhood development and child/adolescent therapeutic interventions. I'm trained in both infant and child CPR, and I've worked with kids of all ages in a variety of roles over the years. I started babysitting in junior high and have since cared for children from single-child homes to large families. One of my most formative experiences was working at The Children's Center, a therapeutic preschool serving children ages 2-6 with behavioral, emotional, and developmental challenges. That hands-on work taught me how to use compassionate, positive approaches to support kids in more difficult moments. Above all, I truly love working with kids. Whether it's creating structure, encouraging imaginative play, or simply showing up with patience and warmth, I bring a calm and joyful presence to every family I work with.
