Meet Michael Ellen

  • Speaks English
  • Comfortable with pets
  • Has a car

Hi there! I’m Michael-Ellen and I’d love to babysit for you. I’m a fresh college graduate with lots of experience creating theatre for young and disabled audiences. Alongside this, I’ve been babysitting since a young age and have always been a natural caretaker for children. My favorite ages to watch are infants and toddlers but I’m totally comfortable with older kids as well. I have extensive experience with disabled children/adults in theatre, babysitting, and professional caretaking contexts. My strengths as a sitter are patience, being a good cook, my musicality (I can even bring my guitar if you ask!), my ability to facilitate imaginative play, and flexibility.
