About Ellen

Experience: 8 yrs

I'd describe myself as caring, outgoing, and attentive. I genuinely love being around kids because they bring out the best in me, brighten my day, and make every moment rewarding. I'm looking for a family where I can build a trusting, long-term relationship while providing a safe, nurturing, and fun environment. My experience began 16 years ago helping care for my younger siblings and has grown through nursing school, caring for children in clinical settings, and coaching children with special needs as a swim instructor since I was 16. I'm patient, dependable, and take the responsibility of caring for children very seriously. I also enjoy helping with homework and learning activities. In my free time, I love reading personal development books, playing the piano, taking walks with my French bulldog, Chubbs, and, oddly enough, cleaning, it's my therapy!

Ellen was absolutely wonderful with our two boys, who can definitely be a handful! She was patient, kind, and always kept them happy and engaged. They absolutely adored her and were always excited when she came over. She was reliable, trustworthy, and truly became part of our family. We always had complete peace of mind knowing our boys were in such great hands. I can’t recommend Ellen highly enough!
