About Ellie

I am a garden teacher who loves connecting children with the natural world. I have worked the most with children 4. 5-12 years old. I make art and music and think it is incredibly valuable to share those experiences with children. I'd describe my personality as empathetic, creative, and organized I like working with kids because they teach me as much as I teach them every day. I'm looking for a job that lets me spend active time with the children and avoid screen time. I may not be a great fit if screen time is a priority in your family. I started working with kids when I was 17 years old, and have continued off and on up until now. I just completed my summer job as a garden teacher and am now wanting to continue working with kids. In my spare time, I like to hike, make art, do yoga, play guitar and sing, and clean. One thing you should know about me is I will use an assertive approach, not an authoritative one. My skills include activity planning, cooking, and cleaning.
