"Through my children's interactions and experiences with Liz, I would highly recommend her to anyone who needs some help with parenting. I know first hand how difficult the job can be when you have children who challenge you every step of the way. With Liz's knowledge, she's helped me learn how to manage my children and make parenting much more enjoyable. From tantrums to eating, sleep issues and so much more, Liz has a way with children that is priceless!"

"We cannot recommend Liz Levine highly enough. children are intuitively receptive to her, as if somehow they know that Liz understands kids like no other grown-up they'vemet before and is going to make their experience fun. Her ever-cheerful yet pragmatic and steady manner are a panacea for parents and kids alike as they navigate the waters of early childhood, pre-school and beyond. Our (now 5 year old) daughter still lights up at the mere mention of "super Liz" as our family affectionately dubbed her, whereas Liz's actual presence triggers gleeful jumps of excitement. I cannot imagine a child (or parent) who could not benefit from Liz's insightful expertise."

My son Andrew had Elizabeth as his teacher in preschool. He was very shy and reserved and wouldn't say a lot at the beginning of the school year. Elizabeth was able to directly notice Andrew's personality and with her caring, loving and kind ways was able to reach out to Andrew. She gently and without any pressure communicated with him, engaged him and made him feel at ease. As the year progressed, Andrew showed a lot of improvement in school and was very excited and comfortable to be there with his friends and teachers every day. Many times he would come home to say: "Elizabeth is my favorite teacher, I love Elizabeth." Even now when Elizabeth isn't his teacher anymore, he still says: "I really miss Elizabeth." I could tell that Elizabeth has a special spot in my son's heart and a lasting impact on him for giving him the self confidence, love for learning and social skills that he will need in the future. Elizabeth is an outstanding teacher with great enthusiasm and passion for teaching and a lot of love and patience for children. We consider ourselves lucky that Elizabeth was Andrew's teacher. We know that dedicated teachers are our most precious resource and that's why our family would like to thank Elizabeth from the bottom of our hearts for her dedication and amazing work.

Our family (now five) lives in Manhattan, and we hired Liz during the summer of 2005 to babysit our daughter Charlotte, who was two years old at that time. We had been tentative about trusting anyone outside of the family to care for Charlotte, as we had endured a traumatic experience with our first nanny a year earlier. But Liz came highly recommended from a friend whose family called her "Super Liz," and we knew from the moment we met her that she would be terrific for our little girl. Liz has a personality that brightens the room, and Charlotte was naturally drawn to her. We trusted Liz to take Charlotte on daily outings to Central Park, to the Museum of Natural History and other sites around NYC. Liz also spent a week with us at the beach that August, and we considered her part of our family. Liz is truly gifted in that she is able to connect with children at their level so they really enjoy playing with her, and yet she also has the confidence, knowledge, experience and maturity of a teacher and guardian. After the summer ended and Liz started her first teaching job, Charlotte missed her terribly and asked for her all the time. To this day, Charlotte (now almost 5) talks about that summer and is thrilled whenever Liz drops by to say hello. We would recommend Liz with all our heart to any family.

We had the opportunity to have Liz come to play with our daughter in our home. From the moment Liz walked in until the time that she left our daughter was completely enamored by Liz's kind and gentle way. It's amazing to see how well she interacts with children. You could tell right away that Liz has a great sense of what tactics will work for your child. She offers wonderful advice and helps you better understand the complexities of the individual child. Liz is energetic and extremely nurturing. We have since tried out some things that Liz has suggested and we already see a difference in the behavior of our daughter.

I would like to take a moment to extend a heartfelt thank you for all of your help with our daughter, Maddy.
When you came to us in April of 2008, I was at a point of frustration and both my daughter and I were feeling great tension with our relationship. As an active only-child, I felt my nearly 3 year old was having a difficult time getting along with other children, as well as having power struggle issues with her father and I. Our attitude was, "do what you are told because we say so". I did not think we were acting harshly and indeed we tend to coddle and indulge our child with love and affection. But looking back, I now realize that we were not taking the time to understand the source of Maddy's negative feelings about playing with others and following rules. After your help, I can gladly say that our family is enjoying a healthy, accepting, and happy relationship. From the very first day, I saw improvement! Your methods opened my eyes to how my child was seeing and experiencing her world. Acknowledging and vocalizing her feelings / fears helped tremendously. Explaining reasons behind rules appealed to her sense of independence. I am so thrilled to say that things have only improved since we last saw you in May. I enjoyed working with you very much, and want you to know that Maddy still asks about you! Thank you for bringing peace into our household, and helping my husband and I give our daughter a childhood filled with love and understanding. She is flourishing - it gives us so much joy to watch her enjoy social situations. She is clearly more relaxed and fulfilled and what more can a parent hope for?
