About Elaine

Experience: 10 yrs

I started babysitting at the age of 15 and evolved into nanny work throughout college and after as well. Ive worked with kids aged between newborns thru 9 years of age. I graduated college with a psychology degree with a minor in childhood development. I love creating indoor and outdoor activities depending on the child's age that help gross motor skills and cognitive development. I pride myself in always making kids happy but still following any rules set by parents. My previous nannying job focused a lot on these activities rather than screen time, after school, homework, cooking meals, and snack times for the children, dishes, and lighthouse, cleaning such as laundry, and driving the kids to any outside activities. I am open to any other help around the house. You may need as long as those requirements are communicated before hand. Some benefits to hiring me is I have my own car, I am CPR certified, heads up concussion certified, and am a mandated reporter.

Elaine took care of my daughter for two years, and we couldn’t have asked for a better babysitter! She handled daily school pickups, homework help, and driving to after-school activities with complete ease. Thanks to her support, my daughter was always on top of her homework! My daughter absolutely loved spending time with Elaine, and they built such a warm, wonderful relationship. Elaine brought so much creativity to their time together—they did amazing art projects, learned fun cooking skills, and even organized a neighborhood lemonade stand! Beyond her creative talents, Elaine is exceptionally reliable, punctual, and a fantastic communicator. We always felt completely confident leaving our daughter in her care. I highly recommend Elaine to any family looking for a warm, dependable, and talented caregiver!
