Activity summary
Reliable, Fun, and Safe Care for Kids and Pets
Hello! My name is Ella Threet, and I’ve lived in Washington State my entire life. I have over a year of hands-on experience working with children as a preschool coach at Gymnastics Unlimited, where I support young kids in a fun, safe, and structured environment. Before that, I worked at a community center and as a dog walker, giving me experience with both children and pets of all ages and temperaments.
I currently attend Stadium High School and am a Running Start student at Tacoma Community College. I am a senior graduating with the Class of 2026 and plan to major in nursing, as I am passionate about caring for others. I am CPR and First Aid trained and always prioritize safety.
I truly love working with kids and animals and enjoy creating a positive, supportive, and engaging environment. I am responsible, patient, and reliable, and I would love the opportunity to help care for your children or pets.
