Hello, my name is Ella! Although I am only 17, I have 6+ years of experience in babysitting. I've had the pleasure to take care of infants, toddlers, as well as children (5-12). If I were to describe myself in three words it would be, empathetic, understanding, and fun. I love babysitting because have the lucky opportunity to make a small impact on our world's future. I see working in childcare not as "work" but as simply hanging out with new "little" friends, while making sure they are safe and well kept.
