About me

Hi, I'm Ella! I grew up in Park City babysitting and nannying, so I know this town, its trails and the rhythm of mountain family life.

I earned my degree in kinesiology from the University of Utah, where I studied how kids' bodies move, grow and develop. Since graduating, I've worked as a guide in Alaska and taught ski lessons, and I've kept babysitting the whole way through.

Guiding taught me to stay calm, think ahead and keep a group safe far from help. Teaching skiing taught me how to help kids feel brave while they learn something new. With me, your kids get a sitter who gets them moving, keeps them safe, and sends them to bed happy and tired.
