About Elana

Experience: 10 yrs

COVID-19 vaccinated

I am a graduate sculpture major, artist and nanny, and am enthusiastic about working with children. They keep it real, and I am always inspired and learn just as much from them as I hope they do me. I have worked as an artist, educator, and caregiver since high school - I have a decade of experience and pride myself on being engaged and creative with children, as well as responsible and patient. Each child is different and I care-give accordingly. I moved to Los Angeles last fall and am considering going back to school at some point to be a midwife. The following is just some of my experience working with children: I was a part-time nanny to a family of four in Baltimore, and before that, a full-time nanny for three years to another dear family, taking care of their daughter, Stella, starting when she was 4 months old. I also have experience with older children - I was a violin tutor all through high school. I defer to the parents in terms of discipline. Full resume available.

Elana worked for our family for several months, and was wonderful with both our infant and our then 6-year-old. Our older son loved her playfulness, yet she always managed to gently direct him through the daily routine well. I appreciate the way she brought in her own love of art, nature, and music into the care of both kids. She also was intuitively responsive to our baby's needs--he was always happy to see her, which made leaving for work so much easier! Her communication about the day was very helpful in keeping all of us on the same page. Her employment with us only ended because she was moving out of town for a fellowship--we would be delighted to work with her again if she was back in town.
