About me
My name is Elizabeth, but everyone calls me Liz. I come from a small town named Garrison which is in the Hudson Valley and an hour north of New York City. I went to college in Princeton, NJ at Westminster Choir College and graduated last May with a degree in Vocal Performance. I have grown up being involved in music, theatre and dance. I always worked in child care when I was not working on my craft throughout my time in high school and college.
My favorite thing about the arts is how it changes peoples lives on the inside, and I love working with children so much. Children are so smart and have such wonderful imaginations that adults don't seem to always have! I learn from them every single time I babysit. I try to bring my passions into my work with the kids as I believe music and all forms of art help kids grow emotionally and intelligently. I also have a brother who is extremely athletic so I am used to playing outside and being active as I know so many kids would love to be doing as well. Kids need to be having fun just as much as they learn!
I have been working in childcare since I was about 14 years old where I started occasionally babysitting and gradually did more part time work when I wasn't in classes. I have worked with every single age group extensively, including infants. I currently don't have a car in the city, but I have experience driving children around after school to their activities and home. I also have experience staying overnight with kids if their parents are on a business trip.
I live in Manhattan where I am auditioning to be an actor and singer. I am constantly practicing in my apartment or going to dance classes to keep myself in shape for auditions.
I have professional child care experience with...
- Infants
- Toddlers
- Preschoolers
- School-aged (K-5)
- Preteen
- Teenagers
- Multiples
In 5 years, I hope to be...
Performing and working full time as a musician and actor either in New York, another major city or on tour around the country. I hope to be in a stable situation financially where I can support myself and a save up money to support my future family. If I am not performing I will hopefully be going to grad school in either music education or music therapy!
Activities & skills I love to teach & share with children...
Music! Since I have a college education from a conservatory in singing, I love to incorporate music in my time with the kids. I think music is crucial to helping children grow! I also love dancing with them to music and putting on plays if they enjoy that!
