Hi! My name is Ella Cryer and I am 19 year old nanny with over 5 years of experience. I am currently a freshmen at University of Missouri studying personal financial planning! I have worked in a variety of settings including aftercare and summer care programs, my church's nursery, and as a full-time summer nanny. I am experienced with children of all ages and safety is my number one priority. I love staying active with the kids and I enjoy spending time outdoors. I will encourage them to learn and I am happy to help with schoolwork. In addition to childcare, I love to cook and clean and I take pride in being a very organized individual. I enjoy meal prepping, keeping the household clean and tidy, and providing a structured environment. I believe that organization and consistency is important for children to help create a calm and positive space for everyone. Lastly, some personality traits I would use to describe myself are dependable, nurturing, patient, trustworthy, positive, responsible, creative, supportive, organized, flexible, and a good problem-solver.

I am a dependable, friendly, and compassionate babysitter. I am currently a student at Mizzou studying Early Childhood Education. This past year I took a gap year and had the opportunity to work as a full time teacher at WUFLC where I learned so much about the care of children of all ages. I am currently looking for occasional babysitting or a part-time nanny position if it works with my class schedule. I have been working with children since I was 16 years old, babysitting family and family friends' children as well. I have experience with food allergies and the use of an Avi-Q as well as an Epi-pen. I love creating different activities. I love getting the chance to take kids out on adventures to explore their environment through nature along with engaging in arts and crafts to spark our imaginations.
