About Elena

I have 5 years of nanny experience and have worked with 5 families, each with two children, including infants as young as 7 months old. I have recommendation letters and can provide contact information for my previous employers. I have a degree in education, experience with Montessori methods, and experience working with children with special needs. I enjoy keeping children engaged with fun and creative activities. We draw with pencils, paints, and chalk, make things with clay, read books, play active games outdoors, and cook together. I always try to choose activities appropriate for each child's age and interests. I also taught arts and crafts at Sunrise Studio, where I taught children how to sew clothing and make toys using different materials. I am based in Irvine and am open to working in nearby areas. References from all 5 previous families are available and can be provided during an interview.
