Hello! My name is Elle, I’m 20 years old and I’m from the United States. I grew up in a small town in Montana with a big family, I have 3 sisters and 4 brothers. From a young age I’ve always had a nurturing personality. I’ve also always been drawn to caregiving and have a passion for working with children. Becoming an Au Pair has always been a very intriguing experience to me. I’ve been working as a nanny in the US for multiple years and I’ve loved it. But I always want to take a bigger jump and hopefully continue this love outside of the US.
Only the last few years I've worked for many different families, every single family I’ve always grown a huge connection to. It’s import to me to create healthy stable relationships with the families that welcome me into their homes. Every family I’ve worked for has always told me how life changing having me in their lives has been, whether it’s lifting weight off their shoulders or just being someone they can trust and rely on. Which I believe to be some of the most important qualities to have as a Nanny / AuPair. Along with that I also think it’s crucial to create a loving bond between the children and caretaker as well, creating a space for their imagination to run wild, while maintaining an authority figure over them. At the end of the day my main goal is to be someone who can add love, kindness and positivity to a family.
I’ve been working as a full time nanny for 3 years now. I’ve gained an extensive amount of knowledge on childcare and what it takes to help a household run smoothly. At times I worked for 2-3 families at the same time and even juggling babysitting gigs over the weekend as well. I’ve gained experience taking care of 4+ children at a time by myself, and ages ranging from 6 months old up to 14 years old. I have qualifications transporting kids in my own personal vehicle and family vehicles. This year I also started doing travel with the most recent family I’ve worked for. Along with my experience, my mindset and personality also helps me be the best caregiver I can be. Growing up with so many siblings and a big family I can handle chaotic, stressful situations appropriately. I try my best to always stay calm and not make a big deal out of small incidents. I want to create a fun, accepting environment, with having the children’s safety as my top priority.
