About Elena

As an energetic, creative, and musically inclined former teacher and coach, my passion has been fostering growth in children since 2002. Growing up the eldest of five and traveling the world gave me a deep understanding of unique family dynamics early on. Over my career, I have provided reliable, goal-oriented care for all ages--from infants to high schoolers--including teaching and coaching sports. For the past 23 years, I have actively coached and run the same local youth gymnastics camp. As a proud mom to grown children adopted from foster care, I bring a fun, patient, and silly approach to supporting families' unique needs. In my spare time, I love cooking, staying athletically active, caring for my pets, and spending quality time with the love of my life.
