Most recent review
Elena was with our family for six months, and I can confidently say she is a Mary Poppins-level nanny. We ended up moving across the country and were so sad to let her go (seriously we begged her to move with us). She joined us when our daughter was 6 months old and was incredibly warm, energetic and creative so needless to say our kiddo fell in love with her from day one. She truly gives 150% and came prepared each day with activities, books, and thoughtful lesson plans that supported our daughter’s development. As first time parents we had no guide for activities or daily plans for our daughter and she seamlessly filled her days with enriching experiences by taking her to the library, pet store, and playgrounds. When we had time for field trips, she gladly took her to the zoo, Legoland, and other adventures. She also sent us amazing photo and video updates throughout the day. Beyond her creativity and dedication, Elena is also incredibly dependable. She was punctual to a fault, often arriving early, stayed late when needed, and could always be counted on. My wife and I both work from home, and Elena made it effortless by keeping our daughter active, happy, and engaged outside the house. She truly has the gift of turning childcare into an experience filled with joy, learning, and growth. Our daughter thrived under her care, and as parents, we felt absolute peace of mind knowing Elena was with her. If you are lucky enough to have the chance to bring Elena into your family’s life, do not hesitate. She is a rockstar nanny who will exceed every expectation.
