General: Hi! My name is Ella, and I’m a high school student in the South Bay area! I’m the oldest sibling in my family and have spent years helping care for younger siblings, cousins, and family friends (especially newborns and elementary-aged kids). My family jokingly calls me "momma number two" because I naturally take on a caring and responsible role with younger children! I’m very outgoing, patient, and creative, and I genuinely love spending time with kids. I’m involved in ASB at my school, work as a peer tutor, and serve as a conflict mediator on campus, which has taught me leadership, communication, patience, and how to handle situations calmly and respectfully. I also own a small baking business and love creative activities like baking, crafts, hair braiding, games, and helping with homework. I always try to create a fun, safe, and comforting environment for children while still being responsible and dependable. Child Care: I have experience caring for children of many different ages, especially newborns, toddlers, elementary-aged children, and younger siblings/cousins. Since I’m the oldest sibling, I’ve naturally taken on a leadership and caregiving role for most of my life! I’m especially comfortable with younger kids because I enjoy being interactive and engaging with them. In middle school, I even created a little “school” setup at home for my younger siblings where I would help teach them and plan activities. I love helping children learn, feel included, and have fun in a positive environment! One thing that is especially important to me when caring for children is safety. I naturally tend to be very cautious, attentive, and aware of my surroundings, especially when younger kids are involved. Whether it’s supervising outdoor activities, staying alert around water, or making sure children are playing safely, I always prioritize creating a secure environment while still keeping things fun. I’m al Special Skills/Talents: Some of my special skills include tutoring and homework help, baking, creative activities, hair braiding, and working well with children who need patience or emotional support. Because I’m a conflict mediator at school, I’m also very good at staying calm, listening carefully, and handling disagreements fairly and respectfully. I’m naturally very nurturing and comforting, but I’m also energetic and fun. I love making kids laugh and helping them feel safe, included, and happy. I'm not afraid to make a fool out of myself!
