About Elyssa
Experience: 10 yrs
COVID-19 vaccinated
Hello! I am an optimistic, reliable, and caring nanny looking for a family to join in a full-time capacity. My college degree is in the arts and I love getting to incorporate that passion into fun crafts/activities and encourage children to explore their creativity. I am currently a teacher at a Montessori Academy working with infants from 3 mo. to 15 mo. I have been involved in childcare since I was young and have experience as both a full-time nanny, as well as a part-time sitter for a variety of ages from 0-12 years. I also volunteered in my church's nursery, leading the team in creating a safe and welcoming environment for children from 8 wks. to 18 mo. My favorite part about spending time with kids is the opportunity to encourage them in their growth and see the world through their eyes as they learn about it. My goal is always to partner with parents in fostering a fun and safe atmosphere for their children to explore. I look forward to meeting you and your family!

Elyssa had a good reference and background check, and was polite, friendly, and communicative. We had her assist as a date night sitter for our 5 month old, and we would do so again. She did a nice job.
