About Ellie

Experience: 10 yrs

Hi! I am a mom of two older teenagers and can help with child care. I am also happy to help with light cooking, errands, and travel. I believe in being present with whomever you are with and staying engaged through crafts, nature, playtime, food, and storytelling. I taught elementary music and middle school art as a long term substitute. I have worked with children for over 20 years, whether it be in a public school setting, acting classes, crafting, pottery making, or through being a special advocate for foster kids. Caring for your children is a gift of time I get to spend with someone new. I believe in taking that gift of time very seriously through adventures, even imaginary ones.

Ellie was awesome with our 5 year old while we were in town for a wedding. She came with many activities for him to do, and he loved it! She was excellent with communication and I felt 100% comfortable leaving our son with her. I would hire her again in a heartbeat.
