ELIZABETH MARINO LUISI
Tomkins Cove,New York
Summary
My loving caregiving skills stem from raising my four children that have now grown and flown. I have two special needs children that both needed developmental interventions. I bring my personal caregiving wisdom to all the families I work with. As a Camp Counselor for the exclusive Gate Hill Day Camp, I applied my child development knowledge to my 4 and 5 year old campers.
I am kind, tidy, enthusiastic, engaged and focused on your child's safety and well-being. I dislike screen time, including my own phone. I take a Scandinavian approach in that there is no bad weather just poor clothing choices. I like to bundle everyone up and spend a lot of time outdoors. I am passionate about cooking, reading and story-telling. I will gladly drive your children to school, activities and appointments. Let me know your challenges and needs and I will help you manage them with a can do attitude. I love animals and have two dogs of my own. Your pets will be well taken care of.
