About Elise

I'd describe my personality as friendly, outgoing and determined. I like working with kids because of their genuine curiosity and pure excitement. Each day brings a new adventure where I am able to watch them grow. I started working with kids when I was a freshman in high school. I babysat for multiple families in my neighborhood, and was a nanny during the summer of my senior year. I have also coached gymnastics for three years and teach children ages 4 through 18. In my spare time, I like to play sports, go camping and spend time with friends. I am currently on the Track and Field team for the University of St. Thomas, but growing up I did soccer and gymnastics. Playing sports and being the captain of multiple teams has formed my love for leading. I also love to go camping with friends. I have made some of my fondest life long memories on these trips and they have taught me how to be organized and adaptable. My skills include problem solving, leadership and safety awareness.
