Hello, my name is Ella. I am currently a nursing student at John A. and am seeking a family in need of dependable childcare support. I grew up with a nanny and had a wonderful experience, which inspired my passion for working with children-especially infants. I truly enjoy engaging with children and supporting their development through meaningful interaction. I have over four years of nannying experience and reliable transportation, so travel and outings are not an issue. I enjoy planning enriching activities such as arts and crafts, painting, walks, park visits, picnics, and baking-fun, hands-on experiences similar to those I cherished with my own nanny growing up. I am also very comfortable with pets, as I have a few of my own. I would be grateful for the opportunity to care for and support your children and would love to connect further. Thank you for your time and consideration.
We were incredibly lucky to have her as our in-home nanny. She started caring for our children when my daughter was 6 months old and my son two years old, and from the beginning we had complete trust in her. She is extremely reliable, always on time, safety-conscious, and truly treated our children like her own. She went above and beyond EVERY day - taking them to the park, playing outside, science center, going out to eat and creating fun, enriching experiences. She kept the kids on a great schedule, prepared meals, helped keep our home tidy, and always made our family feel supported. She became a part of our family and our kids call her "auntie", and they absolutely adore her. Even now, they get so excited to see her. Any family would be incredibly lucky to have someone so kind, trustworthy, and amazing caring for their children.
