About Ellie

I started babysitting in high school, and I haven’t stopped working with children since. I earned my BS and MS in Human Development and Family Studies at UA, and when I wasn’t studying developmental theories, I was often applying them through experience. I have mentored and tutored elementary school students, served as a counselor at overnight camps (ages 7-15), assisted and directed at day camps, and worked with infants, toddlers, and preschoolers at an early childhood development center. I have worked with children of diverse backgrounds, identities, and developmental levels both in Tuscaloosa and northern Illinois. While I hold both current First Aid and CPR certifications, I do my best to ensure a fun, safe environment for all children I work with and am not afraid to break a sweat playing outside or helping to understand the tougher math problems!
