Hello, I'm Ella Patton, a dedicated and compassionate babysitter with a genuine love for children. With years of experience in childcare ranging from infants to older kids, I have developed the skills and knowledge necessary to provide exceptional care.

I am proud to hold certifications in dyslexia awareness, first aid/CPR, cultural awareness, and child abuse prevention. These certifications reflect my commitment to maintaining a safe and inclusive environment for the children I care for.
