A little bit about me

My name is Ellie and I’m a recent graduate of the University of Chicago, where I earned my degree in Sociology, specializing in childhood development. I’m deeply passionate about supporting children’s growth and creating a nurturing, engaging environment that encourages both fun and learning.
I bring extensive experience caring for children of all ages, from infants to teenagers, and I pride myself on being responsible, dependable, and attentive to each child’s individual needs.
In addition to childcare, I’m happy to help with cooking, cleaning, and household tasks to ensure a smooth daily routine. I’m fluent in French and have several years of tutoring experience in French, English, math, and science, which allows me to provide academic support as well as care.
I have my own car and have eight years of experience behind the wheel with no accidents or traffic violations. I’m punctual, safety-conscious, and more than willing to complete any background or reference checks.

More About Me

Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...

I have volunteered at an elementary school. I helped younger children with reading comprehension or homework. We would also play fun and engaging games!

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I love to do arts and crafts, play at the park, go swimming, play games, play toys with them - really anything! If an activity is safe and allowed by the parents I'm happy to take part. I also love to help with homework, and I always find a way to make it fun! I’m also an amateur balloon animal artist, so I love to make balloon animals for kiddos!

The most important part about being a nanny...

Making sure that children are comfortable, happy, and safe!

My experience with special needs children...

I’ve cared for autistic children in the past.

The most important part about being a nanny...

When I nanny, I always love when children feel comfortable enough to share their interests with you and have you join them. Whether it be playing with legos or their favorite toy, I love to safely indulge in a child's interests with them as it brightens their day, and mine. I'm enthusiastic about seeing children thrive and be happy when I nanny or babysit, and this often accomplishes that. When one is oriented towards a child's interest, only good things can happen!
