Elizabeth, foreign au pair in Cambridge central N1R

Hi, My name is Eli (yes, like the boys name!). My name is actually Elizabeth but I'm a bit of a tomboy and the nickname came about as part of a little joke at work one day a few years ago and it stuck - and it really seems to suit me (although some people take time to get used to calling a girl Eli). Like I said, I'm a bit of a tomboy, I'm the only girl in my extended family and I always wanted to keep up with them. I like being active, going for walks/hikes with my wonderful Chocolate Lab Jenny, who's just the friendliest thing you've ever met. I just started back at the gym after an injury last year and I've enjoy having a place to burn off some energy. As any parent would know, burning off energy is always a good thing! I used to play alot of sports (basketball at school and rep soccer) but now I just do it occasionally for fun, I love doing crafts and I've been working on improving my artistic skills with drawing and painting. I love the summer because I love being outside. Whether it's going to the park, drawing with sidewalk chalk, going for bike rides or taking a swim (in a pool or down at Lake Eerie). I love camping and playing games (make believe, board, etc) and I love finding productive, educational, and fun ways for children to use up all that energy and zest for life that they have. I've been babysitting since I was 14 (11 years ago) and I've worked as a summer nanny before, as well as a camp counselor. I really enjoy doing creative things, like crafts as I mentioned before, I'm always on pinterest and similar websites to come up with neat ideas - and that's just for myself! hah! Let alone the ideas kids could do and have fun while being productive at the same time.
