About Elaina

Hi! My name is Elaina, and I am a Middle Level Education major at Illinois State University. I anticipate graduating in Winter 2026 with my teaching degree in Social Studies and English. I have experience student teaching in schools around the area, as well as teaching summer school in Chicago, so working with kids is truly what I love to do. I am patient, responsible, and easygoing, and I know how important it is for kids to feel safe and comfortable. I can help with homework, create fun and engaging activities, stick to routines, and keep things organized. My background in education also helps me understand different learning styles and how to support kids in a positive way. I am comfortable around small to medium sized dogs and am happy to help with light household tasks if needed. I would love the opportunity to support your family and provide dependable, caring babysitting!
