Hi! My name is Ella and I am a first year law student. Although I am new to the babysitting/nanny scene, I grew up taking care of my younger brother who is seven years younger than me.

Paramitha $20 per hour for 1 child

I am a recent grad from Wayzata High School; incoming freshman at Macalester College! My caregiving journey began through teaching Indian dance to children between the ages of 4 and 13. This role allowed me to create a fun, culturally rich, and structured environment where kids could build confidence, and learn discipline through movement. It also gave me insight into how different children learn and communicate, helping me develop patience, creativity, and strong communication skills. In addition to my teaching background, I’ve worked with children from infancy to 14 years old in a domestic violence shelter, where I provided supervision and emotional support. This experience required a high level of sensitivity, flexibility, and calmness, as I supported kids navigating trauma and transitions. I learned how to quickly build trust, create a sense of safety, and meet children’s emotional and physical needs in a thoughtful, nonjudgmental way. I’m experienced in managing multiple children at once, maintaining routines, and responding to a wide range of behaviors with empathy and consistency. Whether I’m caring for a newborn, helping with homework, or just being a comforting presence, I bring reliability, kindness, and a genuine love for helping others. I’m also happy to assist with light household tasks, organization, or pet care as needed. My goal in every caregiving role is to provide a safe, positive, and supportive environment for children. I'm very excited for the opportunity to work with kids, and would love to use my academic and artistic experiences to go through some engaging activities with them!
