Elizabeth Wentworth

Director of Operations and Development

Hi! My name is Elizabeth Wentworth and I am the Director of Operations and Development for Perfectly Poppins LLC. I am responsible for scheduling, payroll, processing and recruiting. I graduated from the College of Charleston in December of 2022 with my B. S. in early childhood education. I have been working with children since 2018 through Clemson University’s Youth Learning Institute, and the Charleston County School District. I also have had the opportunity to volunteer and intern at MUSC’s brand new children’s hospital, Shawn Jenkins. I am extremely proud of my dedication and ongoing employment at MUSC that I now work as a constituent engagement coordinator in the University’s advancement office. Starting in August, I will be continuing my education at the College of Charleston by pursuing my MBA. I love my time nannying for Perfectly Poppins as it is always a joy to work with new clients and their little
ones!

Michelle was incredible! We planned a last minute trip to Seabrook Island and she made sure we had a date night Nanny for the first time in over a year. We are headed back next month and the first person I contacted was Michelle to set up childcare again. One of our daughters is disabled and we were hesitant, but she was very well taken care of. We love Perfectly Poppins!!
