Hi there, my name is Ellie! I'm a recent high school graduate looking to care for some awesome kids this summer before I start college. I've been babysitting for local families since 2019, and I've spent 3 years as a camp counselor and 2 years as a string instrument coach for middle schoolers. I'm also the oldest of 5 with two toddler-aged brothers at home, so I'm comfortable with all ages. I'm responsible, resourceful, and level-headed, but I still love a good game of tag at the park or an afternoon of nature crafts and race cars. I'm also very comfortable in the kitchen, and I have a car so I'd be able to drive kids to and from camps and activities. References provided upon request.
We absolutely adore Ellie! She is a diamond in the rough and everything we hoped for in a sitter and more—so patient, thoughtful, and incredibly caring with our 4-year-old. She took the time to really connect, was playful and engaging in just the right way, and seemed to intuitively know when to step in or let our child lead. Our little one felt safe, seen, and had such a fun time with her. It is so clear that she knows all the different stages of kids and is able to adapt to the one of the moment and roll with anything no problem. She knows fun songs to sing (beautiful voice on top of it) and we could hear them laughing throughout the day. We have two big dogs and she didn’t miss a beat with feeling comfortable and at home. Can’t say enough good things, we’d have her back in a heartbeat!
