Ellen has cared for children of all ages in the Manhattan After School Program and has provided consistent, reliable, and quality care!

"I am a very energetic, loving, nurturing, reliable and caring person. I work very well with everyone and am very considerate to everyone’s needs and expectations. I would love to be a Nanny for the sole reason that I love children. I feel that any family I work with would be extremely happy with my abilities as a caregiver to the children. If I was asked to describe in one sentence the reason I have chosen to be in the Nanny profession over any other it would have to be because working with children in any capacity makes me happy. I have been serving in some form of childcare experience for over 23 years and can honestly say I love and enjoy what I do! I feel that children are just little people who need guidance, love, nurturing, and a kind person who accepts them as growing individuals. Children inspire me to maintain a wholesome and lively attitude for life and not take things so serious. Seeing through a child’s eyes is like seeing things for the first time and that never gets old. My goal as a Nanny is to provide excellent, quality care and to provide parents with the security that their most precious people in their lives are well taken care of. I am willing to do housekeeping that includes light housekeeping and always cleaning up after play. I would make sure the house is cleaned before parents come home and I could even start dinner! If I had to describe myself in five adjectives I would say that I am joyful, loving, reliable, loyal, and fun. Activities that I would like to incorporate in the daily plan for the family I care for would include reading, music, floor play, outdoor time, and naptime. If asked to describe the perfect family seeking a Manhattan After School Program educator like me I would hope they would be caring, and friendly."

"My husband and I have known Ellen for over 14 years. We met her when we needed a childcare provider for my 11 week old son so that I could return to work. When I met Ellen for the interview for child care for our son, I knew instantly that she was the provider for us. She made me feel very comfortable with the way she ran her house and daycare. We were very fortunate that she was able to care for our second son when he was born. Both of my sons felt completely safe and secure in her home. She offered many various educational activities, as well as healthy snacks and meals. The kindness and patience in which she showed to all of the children in her care was outstanding. Her home was always clean and kept child proof. She forms a strong bond with her daycare kids who come back to visit her often. My own children still talk about the memories they made with Ellen and will always consider her part of their family. I would definitely recommend her as a nanny for any other family in need of childcare services. With her background experience and strong abilities to connect with children, she can definitely offer everything a family would be looking for in a Manhattan After School Program.” “Ellen has provided excellent child care for me for my two children. Ellen has always been very kind, caring and exceptional with my children. They both have come to love her as do I. Ellen is very clean and tidy, she values good nutrition and values quality time and education. Ellen is a wonderful person and would be a wonderful addition to your Manhattan After School Program."

"My son attended the Manhattan After School Program with Ellen. I had a rather unique situation that I brought to Ellen and she didn't even bat an eye at the challenge. You see, my husband and I had recently received the news that our son was deaf; he was just three years old. As a result of the news, he started school in an early intervention program and we needed a daycare provider. Ellen came highly recommended and I loved her from the moment I met her! She was so patient with both my son and me. She allowed my mother, our son’s godmother and even his schoolteacher to come and check out her and her daycare. She was so open and welcoming to all of us. As a childcare provider, Ellen loved my son and worked hard to understand his disability. She had many in-service classes with his teacher to learn sign language; it really helped in communicating with him. That was BIG for me! From the first day my son was with Ellen to the last, he cried when it was time to go home. He loved being there and that made me feel wonderful. Fast forward to now and my son is 18, Ellen is still a part of my son’s life and he loves her like a second mom. We are so lucky to have found a great childcare provider and a lifelong friend."

"Ellen is wonderful with children and any family would be lucky to have her at their child’s Manhattan After School Program! I worked with Ellen for many years and we have continued our friendship since. Ellen has always built strong relationships with the kids and families she has cared for through the program, which is really important for open communication! She is also trustworthy, reliable, and passionate about children, which are also extremely important attributes for any family seeking childcare. Most importantly, Ellen has many years of experience working with children of all ages! Your family will be extremely lucky and certainly benefit from having Ellen in their lives!"
