About Elena

Experience: 18 yrs

I am a nanny with 18 years of experience specializing in newborn and infant care. I'd describe my personality as hardworking, kind, and caring. I like working with kids because I love watching them discover new things. I'm looking for a job that requires newborn or infant care. I excel at helping first time parents navigate the early stages of baby care. Open to full-time, part-time, or travel assignments. I started working with kids when I was in my 30s as a neo-natal nurse. In my spare time, I like to travel and try new food. One thing you should know about me is I am organized and observant. I believe babies have their own way of communicating and work hard to meet the unique needs of each baby. My skills include patience, communication, and adaptability.

Elena has been with our family for over four years. She first began caring for our eldest daughter at 3 months and worked with us part-time until we started full-time daycare at age 2. More recently, Elena cared for our baby girl for the last 9 months. To say we can’t live without Elena is an understatement. We are so fortunate to have found her, and after four years, she is truly a part of our family. Aside from the excellent care she provides to our kids (they love her like a grandparent), she is reliable and hardworking. She does light housekeeping, laundry, and cooking while our baby sleeps. She even reorganizes our pantry after Costco runs! Elena is the best nanny ever, and any household would be lucky to have her.
