Experience: 15 yrs
As an elementary teacher, encouraging a child's growth and development and helping them discover their unique strengths is my true passion, along with giving them great experiences and learning with fun as much as possible! With 15+ years of experience, I provide reliable, high-quality care. My graduate degree informs my approach to promoting learning, and have extensive experience teaching, mentoring, and shaping behavior of all ages. I have worked as a behavior intervention specialist and parent trainer for 3 years. I'm very energetic, youthful, patient, fun, highly creative, and very comfortable enforcing household rules. I enjoy playing all outdoor sports, board games, sailing, making up games, doing arts and crafts, and love puzzles. I am happy to assist with meal preparation, carpooling, light housekeeping, helping with anything needed, and instructing in swimming. I follow your communication method & give regular updates about your child/ren!
My children and I have been close personal friends with Ellie & her husband for years. Ellie has a rare passion for children and mental health. It’s a force that drives all her actions. Her self control and regulation is only matched by her fierce protectiveness of innocents, both two legged and four legged 😉 her extensive education and knowledge of mental health makes her someone anyone could and should trust with any child.
