About Ellen

My name is Ellen, and I'm 24 living in Lincoln Park. I'm looking to sit for parents looking for evening/weekend/ocasional sitters on top of my full time job. For as long as I can remember, I've been around and working with kids! I have a large family, and babysat my young cousins (ages 2-8) regularly from the time they were born. Other than that, I taught swim lessons (ages 1-10) for about 5 years and spent a summer working at an all girls overnight camp living and working with girls ages 6-15. I have experience with a large age range! I'm energetic, creative and hope to facilite an environment alongside parents that meets children's needs and encourages them to thrive! I can do bedtime, mornings, etc and am happy to follow whatever schedule and routine are currently in place. I'm okay with both dogs and cats and can also support household tasks (dishes, light housekeeping, etc.)
