About Ellissa

After 6 years of caring for children full time through high school and college, bringing joy and building relationships with children and families is one of my passions. The daughter of two teachers, I was raised seeing the value a trusted and caring adult can bring to the life of a child. Following my graduation, I transitioned to a full time corporate role, but am looking to re-engage with part time care-taking roles. I believe myself to be a patient and careful person, navigating children's complex emotions with understanding. I am happy to prepare meals, engage in light housekeeping, and play with children away from screens and be outdoors where possible. I'm happy to communicate with parents in their preferred methods. I look forward to the opportunity to contribute to your child's development and supporting the needs of your family!
