About Ellie

I'm currently pursuing my Master's in Art Education at DePaul and hope to become an art teacher. I love creating, and who better to create with than the original creators themselves-kiddos! I grew up in a family of educators and have years of childcare experience. My first job was teaching in a Reggio Emilia-inspired preschool, where I worked for several years. I've also worked for Chicago Public Schools at a fine and performing arts school. I'd love to spend time with your kiddos and help keep their lives imaginative, active, and fun! I love the outdoors, nature, and arts projects, but I'm flexible and happy to adapt to your family's needs. I can also provide tutoring and have experience working with children with special needs. I look forward to getting to know your family and finding how I can fit into your puzzle!
