About Ellen

Experience: 10 yrs

I'd describe my personality as patient, creative & professional. With 30 years of teaching experience, I enjoy working with kids because of their curiosity to learn & explore! I'd be happy to prepare meals, laundry, walk pets, drop offs/pick ups, homework. Here to help! I started working with kids when I was a teenager. Became a summer nanny in college. Many jobs were at children's camps, being a director & babysitting. In my spare time, I like to be outdoors: kayaking, hiking & reading. Involved in my church & educational groups. One thing you should know about me is I enjoy the company of children! My career has prepared me to handle personalities & help kids thrive! My skills include assisting children academically with positive guidance. I will remain consistent & committed to your children through my faithful attendance.

She is so attentive, responsible and interactive with our boys. My youngest learned manners, focus and developed a love of numbers/gardening/science. We will be forever grateful for her naturing and care.
