Hello my name is Ellie and I am 21 years old. I am confident, always have a positive attitude and know not to take myself too seriously around children which proves me to create better bonds with them. I enjoy setting out messy play activities and supporting children’s exploration of these through sensory play and by encouraging their own ideas. I currently live in Ripley, Derbyshire and have access to my own car, I have been driving since 2018 and already have a car seat aged from birth to five years installed on the back seat. I bought this car seat in the summer of 2020 when my niece (who is now 2 years old) was living with us during the lockdown so I could watch her throughout the day when her mum was working and take her on our own mini adventures. I enjoy cooking and baking and love to experiment with different flavors with my niece to create healthy and delicious treats and snacks for throughout the day. I have previous experience caring for children as young as 4 months old up to 7 years.
