About Elke

Experience: 3 yrs

Hi! What you need to know about me is that I put my all into my care. I strive to create a pressure free environment where children are comfortable being themselves. Starting with my nephews a few years ago, I treat every child since like family. It is my priority to bring a sense of safety to each job, never letting that stop days from being full of fun and discovery! I'd describe my personality as flexible, calm, and bubbly. I like working with kids because their curiosity feeds my own. I'm looking for a job that feels familiar. It's a big responsibility to be apart of the village that raises a child. I'd like to feel as though I'm working with individuals who know, respect, and trust me. I started working with kids when professionally in 2022. Unpaid, I have been a caretaker for friends and family for almost a decade. In my spare time, I like to relax. My favorite activities are watching movies, reading, birding, watercolor painting, and long walks outside on nice days.

Not only is Elke very adept at caring for children, she also has a wonderful rapport with them. She is considerate of their feelings, playful, kind, and most importantly is not condescending. She is a wonderful caregiver, but an even better friend to the children she is caring for.
