Ella R | Bubbly, Brilliant & Backed by 5 Years of Experience
Kia ora, I’m Ella — a 22-year-old university student finishing up my BA in English and Theatre, with plans to train as a high school teacher next year. I’m a colourful, high-energy human who loves helping tamariki shine. With over five years of experience as a private nanny, ECE assistant, and learning support worker for neurodivergent kids, I’ve worked with children aged 6 months to 16 years.

I’m police vetted, First Aid certified, and comfortable jumping in with all ages — whether we’re building blanket forts or navigating teenage moods. Let’s make sure your kids are safe, supported, and having a blast. ⭐️ What I'm Great at: - Care for ages 6 months to 16 years - Neurodiversity-informed and inclusive - ECE + primary learning support background - BA in English & Theatre — imagination guaranteed - First Aid certified & police vetted - Big on laughter, learning, and positive energy

Ella was friendly, responsive to communication and I appreciate her taking care of my boys.

Ella helped us at our Coffee & Connect morning. She is a lovely, warm person and a wonderful babysitter. She showed the children how to feed the sheep and helped them climb up the tractors. And spent time with every child from the 1 year old to the 4 year Olds.

Ella was absolutely lovely! She had a calm and friendly presence that immediately put our boys at ease. From the moment she arrived, she connected with them naturally and made them feel comfortable. She was reliable, warm, and clearly experienced with children. We really appreciated how she handled everything smoothly and kept a positive, relaxed environment. We would happily have Ella babysit again
