About Elsie

Hi there! I have spent most of my life caring for children, starting as the oldest of five siblings and continuing in various childcare roles. I had the incredible opportunity to live and teach English at an orphanage in Cambodia for four months, to coach kids ages 5-12 in swimming and sailing for many years, and to have been a nanny for a number of families. All of this has helped me build a strong foundation in patience, communication, and creating a fun, supportive environment. I'm passionate about building meaningful connections with kids and providing a safe, nurturing space for them to thrive. I believe in instilling values like kindness, respect, and accountability from a young age, and I approach childcare with a focus on curiosity, creativity, and mindfulness. With my experience and dedication, I'm excited to offer your family a trustworthy, compassionate sitter who will treat your children with the care they deserve.
