Ellie joined our team in January 2022 as a part time nanny and has been working for us every winter ever since, Ellie is a fantastic nanny with a wealth of experience working with children from 6 months to 12 years. All of her families have absolutely loved her and she has many weeks pre booked before the start of the season, with returning families.
Ellie is 29 years old and has a Bachelor of Education Degree and over 8 years experience working with children from 6 months – 12 years old.
After volunteering in Nepal in 2013 Teaching English, Ellie fell in love with working with children, in 2015 after a couple of seasons working as a chalet host in Les deux Alps she began her university degree in Plymouth. Spending her school holiday weeks working for PGL travel leading school ski trips.
Since graduating Ellie has worked as a teacher in several schools, firstly in a school in Greenwich mainly teaching years 3,4 and 5 computing and French to the year 6 students as well as moving around the school, covering teachers in the nursery and reception classes, this was a great first teaching position as she was able to move around the school and get experience with all ages out of university placements.
In 2020 Ellie moved back to Cornwall where she has been working as a substitute teacher in local schools around Penzance. Working in classes from reception up to year 6.
Once covid had freed up travel a bit more, Ellie decided it was time to put her 2 loves together to make the perfect job, nannying in the mountains!.
Ellie is a very keen skier and also loves to cook and be outdoors.
Speaking to Ellies references, they had lovely things to say about her and believed to be a great candidate for working as a holiday nanny.
FEEDBACK 2024/25
“We have had the absolute pleasure of having Ellie as our ski nanny for the past two years, and we cannot recommend her highly enough! From the moment we met her, her bubbly personality and warm demeanor put us at ease, and it’s clear she has a natural gift with children. Ellie has been absolutely amazing with our son—she takes the time to understand his interests and plans the most engaging activities tailored just for him. Whether it’s fun outdoor adventures or quieter creative play, she’s always enthusiastic and ensures he has the best time. Her energy and positivity are infectious, and our son absolutely adores her! What sets Ellie apart is her flexibility and ease to work with—she truly goes above and beyond to make everything seamless. She’s not only fantastic with our child but also a joy to have around, making our vacation stress-free and enjoyable. Ellie’s care and dedication have been instrumental in making our trips unforgettable, and we already look forward to having her again next year! Thank you, Ellie, for being such a wonderful part of our family vacations! ”

FEEDBACK 2023/24
I know choosing to have a nanny on a family holiday is a tough decision, but it actually made our holiday. There is no way we would have had the holiday we did without Ellie and Meribel Nanny Services. They dropped off toys and books (and a potty) so no need to pack them, Ellie knowledge of resort is amazing and she is an incredible problem solver and planner. She had the energy when we were all tired and she had ideas when it felt impossible to get the kids from lunch or home when they were overtired and needed a gear change. She was professional, kind and our children adored her. She reads the room well and was always one step ahead. I cannot reccommend this service highly enough.

Savage family – Chaudanne Hotel – January 2024
Ellie was reliable, great with the kids (2 and 4) including taking them on great outings, thoughtful, flexible and our children loved being with her. We can’t recommend her highly enough. Méribel Nanny Services (Nicole) were efficient and responsive – they also organise fun group activities over the week for the kids under their care.

Hayes family – March 2022
Ellie had been such a superstar. Our boys can take some time to warm to people but they clicked with Ellie immediately. She was absolutely brilliant and took them on a whole host of activities and gave them a holiday they will remember for a long time. I can’t thank her enough and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to any other family.

Hunter family – Feb 2022
Just wanted to send you a quick message thanking you for organising our childcare last week in La Tania, and letting you know how happy we were with Ellie.
Ellie was fantastic – full of energy, sweet, fun, amenable and helpful. We found her really easy to work with and our children really loved spending time with her – our holiday was all the better for it, so thank you – and Ellie.
Hawes family – Feb 2022
We could not have been happier with how our holiday went, and in particular with the service provided by Ellie (and indeed, by Jess). We are so glad that you took on Ellie in time for her to help us out. She was a delight – grounded, friendly, helpful and clearly fully engaged with the children, as well as being a seriously accomplished skier!
