About Me


Hello, my name is Ellis. Im a 30 year old mum and am Level 3 NVQ qualified in childcare which I gained in 2013.
I am a wife & mum to my 5 year old daughter & my 2 year old son.

We live in the Blackheath area of Colchester and I’m available for pickups from Cherry Tree Academy.
I work Tuesday mornings & all day on Thursday & Fridays so am available for school pickups & babysitting outside of these days times :)

I have over 13 years childcare experience with children aged newborn - 11 years as well as management experience within a nursery school setting.

I have paediatric first aid training and hold a DBS check with my employer. I’m happy to give references on request.

I am a kind and caring individual as well as confident, calm and friendly.
I love working with children, it’s what I had always wanted to do growing up. Before relocating to Colchester I was a TA in my daughter’s previous school.

I can accommodate children in my own home in terms of food, activities etc due to having my own children. Prior visits can be arranged if an arrangement is setup :)

I always put the child first, make sure their best interest is at heart and all their needs are met whilst also making sure we’re having fun and learning at the same time.

I understand that each child is unique and becoming a mum myself I know the importance of finding the right person to care for the most precious thing in your world.

My Experience

I have worked in a number of day nurseries with children aged 0-5 years at the beginning of my career and then went onto a Nursery/Children’s Centre where I spent the last 5 years before leaving to have my daughter in 2020.
I started as a nursery assistant and before leaving my role was Lead Nursery Manager of a team of 11 staff with 2-3 year old children(30per session) So I worked hard to move up several positions in the 5 years of working there and am proud of my achievements :)

I also previously babysat 2 girls from a previous nursery I worked at. I started babysitting them when they were 8 months & 2 years.. they are now 11 and 13 & I’m very close with their family. The family would happily give a reference if needed :)
I also have a family that I found work with through this app that would happily give a reference if you would require one :)

I hold my own full UK driving license and own car.

I have experience working with children with SEN and ELA. This has given me the opportunity to learn further childcare skills and work with outside agencies as well as in partnership with parents to support each child’s individual needs. I also have in depth knowledge of the Early Years Foundation Stage which is a guideline used to track and support a young child’s development.

I am also trained in Read Write Inc. (Ruth Muskin) as this is how we taught phonics at my previous workplace and am happy to offer this service through my babysitting services.

We’ve had Ellis as our baby sitter for nearly 6 months and my daughter absolutely adores her.

Ellis’ communication skills are fantastic and always there when we need her. Without a doubt I would recommend Ellis to everybody.
