Hello! My name is Elia, and I work full-time at a local bank in the Springs. I am a full-time student as well and the oldest of five children. That being said I have grown up caring for children of various ages and done so throughout my entire life. I have volunteered at various times at church childcare as well. I have a current CPR / AED / First-Aid certification that expires 11/04/26. I am available Friday evenings and weekends as needed, but am looking for part-time work for now. When I am caring for children I prefer to craft and color, bake, read stories, and play creatively inside the house or outside weather permitting!

I lead the special needs ministry for a large church. We rely on weekly help from sitters we book on SitterTree. The app makes it easy to connect with sitters in our area who have experience working with children with disabilities. We now have several Favorites who we book consistently. SitterTree has been a wonderful resource for our ministry.
