Ellie $12 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Ellie, and I’m 18 years old and a senior in high school, planning to study business next year. I’ve been babysitting for over 3 years with experience caring for kids from 10 months old to 13 years old. I’m bubbly, fun, and love creating a positive, engaging environment for kids. I enjoy cooking and cleaning and am always happy to help around the house. I love joining kids in what they’re interested in—whether that’s playing games, doing crafts, sports, or homework. I’m comfortable taking kids to activities or outings and have experience with overnight (“sleepover”) babysitting. I’m reliable, responsible, and truly enjoy spending time with kids!
