About Ellen

Experience: 10 yrs

I am a widowed mother of three, amazing grown daughters. I lost my husband unexpectedly at the onset of the pandemic. At the time, with sheltering in place, my job of in person tutoring was on hold. One of my daughters encouraged me to look into becoming a nanny. So many finding themselves needing childcare as they set up office from their homes. In the last 6 years I have worked for a few wonderful families. Mostly I have cared for infants and toddlers. In Iate June, I will be available to start with another family. I am looking for a family with an infant that would need me about 20 hrs a week. A Tue, Wed, Thu schedule would be nice, but I am flexible. I come with 25+ years of experience and a boatload of patience. I enjoy the outdoors (parks), have my own vehicle, am a non smoker and comfortable with pets. A willingness to help you with light housekeeping and laundry. I will play, read and sing to your baby. I look forward to helping you nurture and care for your dear child.

Ellen was a wonderful nanny to our two children. She is patient, kind, creative and full of wonderful ideas to keep our kids engaged and busy. Our kids grew very fond of Ellen and it was by far the best part of their day! We felt extremely lucky to have found her and any family would be lucky to experience having her as a nanny.
