About Lily

Hello! A little bit about me: I moved to the Philadelphia area six years ago from Seattle, and spent the three years working in a trauma-informed, strengths-based GED and job training program for 14-21-year-olds. After that, I worked as a nanny for about 4 months before transitioning to a full time role as a community organizer. Before that, while studying at Gonzaga University, I worked for three summers as an overnight YMCA camp counselor, followed by 2 summers as the assistant director for a YMCA day camp. Throughout my time in high school and college, I babysat and tutored regularly, ranging in age from 2 months to 13 years. After leaving my most recent job (on good terms), I'm looking to go back to my roots in childcare. I love being with kids outdoors or doing crafts, talking with them about their days, reading, and helping with homework. I believe deeply in the importance of safe, loving, and supportive environments for babies and kids.
