About Me

  • Elizabeth "Liz" Matakis

    Hi, I’m Liz! As a mom of two teenagers, I understand firsthand the juggling act parents face between school, activities, and family time. With years of childcare experience, a spotless driving record, and current CPR/First Aid certification, I provide dependable, professional care you can count on.

    What sets me apart from a typical “babysitter” is the level of maturity, flexibility, and reliability I bring. I’m not just here to pass the time — I ensure your kids are safe, supported, and engaged, whether it’s getting them to practice, helping with homework, or providing a smooth transition from school to home. Parents trust me to step in where they need it most, so they can focus on their day knowing their children are in capable hands.
