About Ellen
Experience: 10 yrs
COVID-19 vaccinated
I worked for 20 years in an Elementary school as a Teaching Assistant in the reading program up in Central NY. I worked with K-5th grade in small groups. I moved down here to watch my grandchildren full time and have done that for almost 3 years. I had a curriculum for my granddaughter which I implemented on a daily basis. I also brought her to the library and various places for socialization. She is starting VPK but more than ready for K. My grandson was in K and I implemented his e-learning with him during this pandemic. I have other experience that I can provide at a later time.

Ellen was the nanny of my children (4 and 6 years old now) for 3 years. She is very kind, reliable, and is great with kids. I wanted someone who could push and challenge my kids academically. Ellen worked in education for 20 years and was able to leverage that experience. She implemented both an experiential and classroom-based learning curriculum. She also found every opportunity to create teachable moments, whether it was walking around the neighborhood observing colors or going to the Aquarium to learn about the animals. Something that stuck out to me was when she would read a book with the kids, they would discuss what happened so far and what they think would happen next. I thought it was great for the kids' reading comprehension and critical thinking skills. I watched my kids flourish both academically and emotionally in Ellen's care over the last 3 years. Both of them were very well prepared when entering school. Anyone would be lucky to work with her!
