About Elise

I adore children and I'm most fulfilled when parents let me care for their greatest treasures. Nothing makes me happier than the chance to grow and learn with them. I know this is my life's purpose and where I am meant to use my gifts. I thrive and am in my element when working with kids and enjoy those interested in music and drama. Performing arts are my passion and I prefer activities that inspire creativity and imagination. Games, reading, fun excursions, and spending time in nature are my top priorities. Favorite outdoor activities include soccer, tennis, swimming, yoga, walking, and bike rides. I'm always up for a game of tag, catch, wall ball, or hide-and-seek, too! Physical and emotional safety are of utmost importance to me and I aim to provide a nurturing and calm environment at all times while being compassionate, engaging, and gentle. *I also offer birth & postpartum doula services and am pursuing DONA International certification.
