My name is Ellie, I come from New Zealand, and I am 22 years old. I am a capable, independent, courteous and silly person. I love travelling and spending time with people. I love looking after other people. I am keen to learn new skills like music, arts, sports. I am also keen to share my interests and skills with other people. I love painting and playing guitar, yoga, tennis, rock climbing and fishing. I am a great cook! Love eating too.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Ummmm let's see.... A few weeks ago I snuck into a shop I used to work in before opening hours and covered one entire wall with a poem I'd written about the shop and people who work there etc......I don't know if that is an amazing thing or not but it happened a few weeks ago and the poem is still up there so I'm kind of proud of it....also I got out of the shop with only about 2 minutes to spare before the shop assistant showed up to open....

I like organising people's houses so I can help someone out by organising their house if they want that. I am very silly which makes me excellent with kids. I adore kiddies.
