About Elena
Experience: 10 yrs
Hi! I'm Elena-a former preschool teacher, BHP, and case manager with 10+ years of experience supporting kids of all ages and abilities. I've worked in classrooms, special ed programs, and therapeutic foster care-so whether it's wrangling glitter, calming big emotions, or navigating IEPs, I've got you covered. I recently shifted careers but still LOVE being a helping hand to families. I'm known for being calm in chaos, super organized, and genuinely caring (bonus: I also give 10/10 snack advice). I hold degrees in Early Childhood Ed and Social & Behavioral Science. Fun fact: I have 12 nieces and nephews (and counting), so caregiving is kind of in my DNA. If you're looking for someone experienced, nurturing, and a little goofy-I'd love to connect!
Most recent review
Elena is absolutely incredible! She watched our 4 month old and they had so much fun together. Our baby was upset when we left as she’s still getting used to other people, but within 30 mins we had a video of them jamming out to music and feeling comfortable! I will 100 percent be using her again! If you have an infant and are a little nervous, your baby is in amazing hands with Elena!
