About Ellen

Fostering a child's growth and development is my true passion, and I find deep fulfillment in making a positive impact on the lives of families. With many years of experience and a degree in Education, I bring a calm, patient, and creative approach to every day. I am a certified teacher - currently teaching in Wilmette, IL. I am very comfortable enforcing household rules while maintaining a friendly, approachable environment for up to three children. Whether we are playing outdoor sports, solving puzzles, or engaging in educational games, I prioritize active learning. I am happy to assist with meal preparation, carpooling, light housekeeping, and swimming supervision. I always follow your preferred communication method to keep you updated. I look forward to the opportunity to bring my dedication and care into your home to help your children thrive.
