About Ellie

One thing you should know about me: I don't believe in yelling, screaming, or using unproductive punishments. Instead, I believe in talking things through and explaining to a child why something is wrong. Yelling at a child often does nothing but confuse or upset them further, while calm explanations encourage growth and improvement in the future. My Skills: Arts and Crafts - I love painting, drawing, sculpture, and graphic design. I have a strong knowledge of art history thanks to my time at BOCES for digital media design, and I'm always happy to share what I know. Cooking and Baking - I enjoy making pasta and other Italian dishes, as well as baking cookies and cupcakes. While I'm not a professional chef, I'd love to help your family out in the kitchen! Tidying - I used to work at a library and a daycare, so I'm very comfortable cleaning up a lot of messes. I love organizing things, so if I can help simplify your home or your life, I'd be glad to assist.
