About Ella

Experience: 8 yrs

Bringing eight years of experience to childcare, I strive to create a nurturing and stimulating environment for your little one. My college degree has given me a solid foundation for understanding child development. I am patient, friendly, and always prioritize safety through practices like First Aid Training and CPR Training. I enjoy engaging children with outdoor sports, board games, and educational activities. I communicate with parents through verbal updates at pickup and regular texts or calls. I follow your lead when enforcing household rules. I am comfortable caring for one child. I am also happy to help with cooking, meal preparation, carpooling, and swimming supervision. I speak English and Spanish. I would love to bring my positive energy and experience to your family.

We have been so lucky to have Ella as a babysitter and highly recommend her. She is responsible, dependable, and genuinely caring, with experience caring for children of all ages. Kids absolutely love her and get excited when she’s coming, and she always creates a safe, fun, and calm environment. Parents can trust that Ella prioritizes safety while also making sure kids are engaged and having fun. Ella is CPR certified and has experience lifeguarding children’s birthday parties at LifeTime Swim & Fitness, which provides great peace of mind. She is comfortable with meal prep, driving kids to practices, camps and activities and is always trustworthy, communicative and reliable. Any family would be lucky to have her as a babysitter or nanny.
