About Ellen

Experience: 10 yrs

COVID-19 vaccinated

I am always happiest when caring for children. I am Certified in Florida as a Lead Voluntary Preschool teacher with a current Child Care Development Associates. I am the mother of two grown children, and I am comfortable caring for newborns. Before I had children I worked as a Registered Nurse in a hospital newborn nursery. I currently have a non-childcare job part time and I am looking to fill in some time doing what I love to do, spend time with children.

Ellen was an absolute Godsend for our family. We were reluctant to send our daughter during the pandemic last year and teamed up with another family. We hired Ellen to provide care and teach preschool/pre-k to 3 girls who were 2, 4 and 4. She really is a dream. She was always on time unless she'd made previous arrangements and was very flexible with us if we needed to adjust schedules. She made all of the lesson plans and they were very well put together. She is organized, professional, compassionate, caring and just an all-around great person and caregiver. I would hire her again in a heartbeat and was sad to have our time together end. The only reason we did not continue is that we felt that it was time for our children to go back into a more social environment. I can certainly say that my daughter learned many important skills and exceeded benchmarks with Ellen. We still stay in touch with her--in fact, she personally delivered my daughter's birthday card last week!
