Elaine was fantastic. I have 3 children 3yo and under and she was able to keep some calm in the chaos! Wonderful with babies and with calm boundaries with my toddlers. 

I was initially nervous about leaving my 6 month old with someone I hadn’t met before, but Elaine put me at ease right away. She sent me references, arrived on time, and was very professional & kind. She followed my instructions closely and kept me updated throughout the evening, which help me relax and enjoy the wedding I was attending. I felt my daughter was in great hands. I would absolutely recommend her to other parents. Thanks Elaine!

Elaine made my first time using care.com a breeze. She was absolutely wonderful with the girls, she was patient and kind. I would absolutely trust Elaine again in the future and would recommend her to friends/family. 

Elaine is fantastic! She is punctual, reliable and trustworthy. We are so glad to have her watch our newborn baby as she is patient, warm and dependable. Can’t recommend her enough!

Elaine is wonderful! Very reliable, responds in a timely manner and always shows up before scheduled time which my husband and I truly appreciate. She plays with the kids, not just "watches" them which is so important. Highly recommend!

Elaine was wonderful. It was our first of hopefully many times working with her. Very professional, warm and clearly very experienced working with young children. Our boys adored her instantly. Highly recommend her for child care. 

We were incredibly lucky to have Elaine watch our 3 young children while we were in town for a family wedding.  She was professional, responsible and caring.  She totally put us at ease and our children enjoyed their time with her.  Would definitely recommend! 

Elaine was wonderful! Punctual, professional, reliable. So glad to have had her help!

Elaine was wonderful with our boys, taking great care of them when we were visiting the NJ shore. She's warm, funny, and responsible, would definitely call her again!

Elaine provided wonderful care for us on short notice. She came with her own art supplies and snacks and took great care of our 10, 7 and 3 year olds. Would recommend her to any family!

We have been very fortunate to have Elaine in our lives. We needed someone who could provide care for our child while she was at school and while we were at work. She is warm, nurturing and really cares about each one of our family members. She also cooks healthy meals for our child, which is important because we're very busy and don't always have time to cook. Our child absolutely adores her!

Elaine's presence in our home has been a godsend. If you're looking for a child care provider who will go above and beyond your expectations, I highly recommend her!

I just want to say thank you again for all that you do!

Miss Elaine is dependable, warm, kind, and fun! My daughter enjoys her visits, and Miss Elaine leaves the house immaculate - and even finished my laundry for me!

Elaine is our go-to babysitter and we feel so lucky to have her in our lives. She's so responsive, always early and is so caring with our children. I'd give her 10 stars here if I could!

Elaine Was an Absolute joy , We contacted her last minute and we were lucky that she was available at such short notice , Elaine was extremely accommodating and efficient.. our Daughter said she was Amazing (in her words) we'll definitely use her again !

We hired Elaine as a night nanny for our 1 month old son. She has been a great help to us during this difficult period. Elaine is very kind, caring, and attentive. She is a wonderful caregiver and is very good with children. She was able to help with diaper changing & bottle feeding, and she even got him to sleep soundly for long stretches in the night. She also came in the afternoons sometimes when we needed her and had no problems with flexible scheduling. We would highly recommend Elaine!




We met Elaine this past week and she cared for my 16 month old baby girl. We loved Elaine! She was punctual, very knowledgeable and flexible. My daughter took to Elaine immediately and Elaine was wonderful with her! We wish we met Elaine sooner and will definitely be keeping in touch with her and hopefully using her more soon! Very highly recommended!

Elaine is fantastic! She has been caring for my 8 month old for the past 4 months. She is always on time and is very dependable, responsible, knowledgeable, and personable.  Most importantly, she is loving and caring to my daughter and I never have to worry about her while I'm away- I know she is in the best hands. 

Elaine is just amazing!! She has been watching my now 7 month old daughter once a week for the last 4+ months after I returned to my firm from maternity leave. She is kind, loving, reliable, trustworthy, extremely knowledgeable and just superior at child care.  Her background and experience are beyond impressive.  She is the type of person that you immediately feel comfortable with and will feel as though you've known her forever right off the bat! She is also great with my three older boys (ages 12, 9, and 6). I recommend her in a heartbeat!

Elaine was quick to respond to us and come out to interview.  She was pleasant and our kids took right to her!  She has cared for our girls on a per diem basis and we look forward to having her back again!
