About Elena
Experience: 10 yrs
I am a current nursing student living in Westerly, RI. I plan to graduate as a registered nurse in 2016. I also have a degree in Human Development and Family Sciences , with a minor in psychology from the University of Rhode Island. I have provided care for children since the age of 12 years old. I worked in a Daycare where I met the needs of a large group of 2-year-olds. I worked for Perspectives Corporation as a Behavior Specialist. I offered home based therapeutic services to a 5-year-old with Down Syndrome. I have experience caring for all ages and genders. I have cared full time for a family since their son was 2 months old, he is now 2 years old. I enjoy being active with the children especially when the weather is beautiful. I can incorporate an educational aspect such as reading materials, and crafts for the specific stage of development for each child.

To say that we love Elena is an understatement. She has been an absolutely perfect caregiver for our daughter patient and sweet, constructive and fun she far surpassed our expectations. Each day, Elena created a new learning, teaching, and activity plan for the two of them, always bringing the necessary supplies along with her. She is inventive and thoughtful and supported our daughter in each unique step of her development. Truly an amazing nanny. As an aside, Elena is wonderful to talk to, warm and accommodating. She is an amazingly hard worker and moved heaven and earth to work with our schedule. We love Elena.
