Hi! My name is Ellie! I am a 21 year old currently finishing up my Junior year of college at the Chicago College of performing arts!

A little bit about me
Hello :) I am an NYU graduate and am currently in Graduate school at Rush University working towards a Masters in Pediatrics Nursing. I decided to start babysitting because I saw an opportunity to do something I know how to do, that works with my schedule and allows me to stay active as well as attentive. I have a younger sister with whom I am very close with. One of the main reasons I believe I am such a good care giver is because I have a lot of patience and energy. I currently volunteer at Club21, an organization that works with children/young adults that have Down Syndrome/Autism. I have also tutored children from ages 6-15, in any and all subjects and would be comfortable helping with schoolwork :) I am fully vaccinated and will take extra precautions to ensure that any child I am with will stay safe from any possible COVID-19 germs! I look forward to having the opportunity to be a positive influence and trustworthy person for your family!
