Hello! My name is Elsa, and I have over 25 years of professional nanny experience caring for children from infancy through elementary school. Caring for children isn't just my job-it's my passion. I'm proud of the lasting relationships I've built with families, including 13 years with one family and the past 8 years with my current family. I'll be available beginning September 7 as the children I care for are starting school full time. I'm looking for my next long-term family where I can provide a safe, loving, and dependable environment for children to learn, play, and thrive. I enjoy reading, outdoor adventures, crafts, parks, libraries, and age-appropriate activities. I'm CPR/First Aid certified, have a clean driving record, reliable transportation, and excellent references. My goal is for every child to feel safe, happy, and loved, while giving parents complete peace of mind. I would love the opportunity to become part of your family.
We have been incredibly fortunate to have Elsa with our family for the past 8.5 years. She has been a constant, trusted presence in our children’s lives and has become truly part of our family. Her reliability is unmatched. We have always been able to count on her, knowing that our children are in capable, loving hands. She is also incredibly transparent and communicative, which has given us complete confidence and peace of mind over the years. Whether it’s sharing updates about the kids, talking through a concern, or simply keeping us informed about their day, she has always been honest, thoughtful, and dependable. Most importantly, she genuinely cares for our children. She has been there for countless milestones, celebrations, challenges, and everyday moments, and it is clear how deeply invested she is in their happiness, well-being, and development. Our children adore her and have always felt safe, loved, and supported in her care. After 8.5 years, we can say without hesitation that she has been an invaluable part of our family. We would recommend her wholeheartedly to any family looking for someone who is trustworthy, dependable, transparent, and, above all, truly cares about the children in her care.
