About Ellen

Experience: 1 yr

I love opportunities to encourage children's curiosity and learning. With experience as a summer camp counselor, babysitter, and tutor, I find creative and flexible ways to engage young minds, hearts, and hands. I believe in fostering a positive environment through crafts, educational games, and adventures in nature. I am comfortable caring for up to three children at a time and am happy to help with cooking, light housekeeping, homework/tutoring, and carpooling. I am also certified in First Aid and CPR. I prioritize open communication and will follow your preferred method to keep you informed and enforce household expectations. I'm excited to bring my thoughtful, kind, and creative approach to your family.
