If you're looking for curiosity, calm authority, and an artistic presence who's always down for creative play, I'm your gal. I also do a killer read-aloud bedtime story.

Hi! My name is Ella, I’m 21 years old, and currently a senior in college. I have over five years of hands-on childcare experience, beginning in Sweden, where I regularly babysat for multiple families. My passion for working with kids has only grown since then. I spent a full summer working at a daycare, caring for children ages 0–5, which gave me strong experience with infants, toddlers, and early childhood development. I have also worked as a camp counselor for three years, supervising overnight campers and helping create a fun, safe, and memorable environment. This role taught me how to stay calm under pressure, manage group dynamics, and connect with kids of all personalities. For the past two years, I’ve been part of the Kaizen MMA after-school program, where I help plan camp days, supervise activities, and manage game time for groups of over 90 kids. This has strengthened my skills in organization, creativity, and large-group safety. Outside of my professional experience, I’ve taken care of my younger cousins their whole lives, which sparked my love for childcare in the first place. I’m responsible, patient, energetic, and truly enjoy supporting kids as they learn and grow. I’d love to help your family next!
