Experience: 7 yrs
COVID-19 vaccinated
For the past 7 years I have cared for infants and toddlers in a home setting supplemented by fun field trips to explore the wonders of life. I am vaccinated and boosted and completed an infant and toddler CPR course in NYC in March, 2020 and in March, 2017. Helping children move through different stages of early development as they learn to sit, cral, walk, talk and use the potty are aspects of being a nanny which I love. The work has utilized my common sense and good judgement, my sense of humor, my love of adventure and the arts, my cooking, time management and organizational skills, and my interest in language and reading. My experience thus far has centered on ages 2 months to 3 years old.

I hired Ellen to watch our then-6 month old son part time when I went back to work. From the start Ellen has been a true partner in raising our son. She kept diligent notes each day, made great recommendations about how to tweak his schedule to squeeze in more tummy time, how to introduce solids, what toys are best at different stages & took a deep overall interest in all areas of his development - and clearly loves this work. She made fresh purees, did his laundry & also helped with dishes and cleaning in the kitchen. She also took him out for adventures and had him making beautiful art from the beginning. Even with daycare, I wanted to continue our relationship with Ellen because he loves her & it has been such a support. Ellen now picks our toddler up at daycare 1 day/week (we are flex on the day). She still makes food for him to eat & freeze, does his laundry & helps clean the kitchen. Ellen is reliable and flexible, takes the job seriously but also makes it fun. Could not recommend Ellen more!
