About Me

I am a trained actor. I have done lots of work featuring in TV commercials (see YouTube Coca cola Christmas ad 2018 #besanta where I play the mum). I am a mum myself - I have an 18 year old son. We have a great relationship (he tells his friends this apparently I discovered recently, which I was very touched by). I love kids and kids seem to take to me. I am warm, kind and friendly as well as responsible and reliable, patient and understanding. I remember when my son Jake was young that sense of really needing to feel you trust the person you're leaving your child with, and please be reassured I am that person!

I recently worked as an assistant teacher, where I was valued and offered guaranteed supply work (which meant I would be paid even if no work was available!). I prefer to work on a self-employed basis though. Full references available in request, but a few excepts here.

Dr David Rogers was the course director and head of English where I did my degree: 'All of us in the English department found [me] very personable and responsible, very capable, and intellectually and socially mature.'

My good friend of over 10 years, who teaches at UCL, recently did me a character reference: 'On a personal level, I know Elizabeth to be extremely kind, compassionate and thoughtful. She is an excellent listener and totally trustworthy. As a parent, Elizabeth is extremely thoughtful and loving. She always endeavours to think of the underlying needs of any child, considering cause as well as presenting behaviour. Elizabeth is utterly calm and consistent, very encouraging and always aims to positively reinforce and affirm.'

My Experience

As a mum, I have a lot of hands on experience looking after children - my own, my friend's children and my nieces and nephew. I have also done a lot of babysitting especially when I did my English degree. Parents and their children always liked me and I was always asked back. I founded a children's entertainment company with 2 friends and we entertained children doing assemblies. I have recently done supply work as a teaching assistant and have an enhanced DBS certificate.

My Qualifications

My highest qualification is a BA hons degree in English (for which I got a very good 2.1). I got an A in my English A level. I also have a level 2 qualification in safeguarding which I needed to pass on order to do the supply work.

My Availability

I am self - employed and therefore able to be very flexible.

Elizabeth has been our babysitter since April and she has become an important part of our family. My children (3 years old and 1 years old) adore her and always look forward to their next babysitting evening with 'Lizzie'. Elizabeth is reliable and punctual and has a calm and friendly disposition which my children very quickly warmed towards. My daughter especially loves her singing and storytelling abilities. I highly recommend Elizabeth.
