About Elle

My name is Elle (pronounced Ellie). I have been babysitting for about 10 years, and worked in an infant childcare center for about a year while I was in college. I was previously CPR/First Aid certified, but would need to get a renewed certification. As an infant caretaker, I took a couple courses on safe sleep, shaken baby syndrome, and had lots and lots of practice changing diapers and wiped too many stuffy noses to count. My favorite age is babies to 2 years old; I find the intelligence level of a tiny human so incredible! I majored in sociology, and see the importance of communication and experience in childhood to be way bigger than getting through the day-to-day; after all, we're raising future adults! I started working with kids when I was 12 years old. Since then I have taken care of children aged 5 months to 10 years old. In my spare time, I like to read books, watch relaxing tv shows, and walk around Missoula.
