Hey! My name is Lizzy and I'm a Psychology student with double minors in Human Development and Sociology at the University of Maryland, College Park. I love art, playing the guitar and piano, video games, lacrosse, and swimming (I'm actually a former head swim instructor and lifeguard - bonus points if you want me to give your child swim lessons and/or teach them lifesaving skills!) Every child is different as they each handle a unique mind of their own - just like you and I are not hardwired to be the exact same person. I believe that being open to understanding, learning, and growing WITH the child is the fundamental key to seeing them succeed as the best light of humanity shines through them. Relevant Work Experience: - Swim Instructor for adults and children 3 months and older, including but not limited to those w/ special needs & mental health challenges such as Anxiety, Autism, PTSD, ADHD, etc. - Patient Care Aide, monitored vitals. - Volunteer School Tutor K-5.

The past reviews are correct, our kids really won’t stop talking about Lizzy. We hired her back when she was still a swim coach because she has the perfect balance between fun, teaching, and discipline. And that’s extremely rare. She makes it so fun that the kids don’t even realize that they are learning! Our kids still ask about Ms. Lizzy every now and then, and she will always be welcome back any time because our whole family loves her.
