A little bit about me

Hi there! I am an energetic, reliable, and patient caregiver who loves working with children and helping them grow, learn, and have fun in a safe environment. I graduated high school early in January 2026 and bring four years of hands-on experience looking out for the safety and well-being of kids.
My background includes four years of working as a lifeguard. Through this experience, I have developed strong communication skills, exceptional situational awareness, and a sharp eye for safety. I excel at keeping kids engaged and active while maintaining clear boundaries, staying calm under pressure, and serving as a dependable, positive role model.
Safety is always my top priority. I hold up-to-date certifications in First Aid and CPR, giving parents complete peace of mind when their children are in my care. I am punctual, adaptable, and excited to build a supportive, trusting relationship with a great family!

A little bit about me

Hello!

My name is Ellyse Zenner and I am 22 years old. I was born and raised in Wisconsin but am currently living in Utah.

In the last five years I have completed an Associates degree and am working towards a Bachelors degree currently. The last two school years I have worked in an Elementary Special Education classroom and absolutely loved it. The most rewarding aspect of teaching is meeting the students where they are at and watching them progress further.

Art is my biggest passion in life, and I love to practice my art-based hobbies when I can find the time. I love to sketch, oil and acrylic paint, write, read, and build legos. I am the biggest Formula 1 fan and love to watch every race. I also love to bake and explore recipes on the weekends.

I would love to become a nanny because teaching and working with kids have always been a big part of my life, and I believe are my calling.
