Experience: 10 yrs
As an elementary teacher, I was surprised that my class was the most requested each year and there was a wait list. Encouraging a child's growth and development and helping them discover their unique strengths is my true passion. Im dedicated to making a positive, lasting impact on the lives of the families I support. With 10+ years of experience, I provide reliable, high-quality care for up to five children ranging from infants to pre-teens. I hold a graduate degree, which informs my approach to educational games that promote learning. I am CPR training/ First Aid certified. I'm patient, fun, and creative, and very comfortable enforcing household rules. I enjoy playing outdoor sports, board games, and puzzles. I am happy to assist with meal preparation, carpooling, light housekeeping, and swimming. I follow your preferred communication method to ensure you receive regular updates about your child/ren. I look forward to becoming a trusted partner in your family's life.
My children and I have been close personal friends with Ellie & her husband for years. Ellie has a rare passion for children and mental health. It’s a force that drives all her actions. Her self control and regulation is only matched by her fierce protectiveness of innocents, both two legged and four legged 😉 her extensive education and knowledge of mental health makes her someone anyone could and should trust with any child.
