I'm a bilingual (Spanish/ English )nanny from Uruguay with 10 years of experience caring for children from newborn to age 4 including those with special needs. My approach is warm, patient, and creative, encouraging learning through play, reading, and activities often weaving in Spanish song and conversation. Comfortable with light housekeeping, meal, prep and I value building trust and becoming part of the family. My most recent role took me to Minneapolis where I relocated with a family as their live-in nanny, providing consistent care and household support. Before becoming a full time nanny, I worked as a Certified Nursing Assistant in WA state caring for people with dementia. That experience strengthened my compassion, patience and ability to adapt to unique needs skills I now bring to childcare every day. I'm seeking a long term role where I combine my caregiving experience, reliability and heart to help children thrive.

I hired Elvie to care for my daughter when she was six months old, and she worked with us three days a week. She is caring, attentive, creative, and always punctual. Elvie quickly became like a member of our family, and the bond she and my daughter share is so special. Thanks to her consistent care and dedication, my daughter is now bilingual. We are so grateful for everything Elvie has done for our family and cannot recommend her highly enough.

Elvi has been with our family for the past two years, joining us when my daughter was only 7 months old. From day one, she has been loving, patient, dependable, and incredibly trustworthy. Six months ago, we welcomed our son, and Elvi seamlessly transitioned into caring for both children full time with warmth, skill, and an unwavering dedication that is rare to find. She has a natural instinct for understanding children’s needs, whether it’s soothing a fussy baby, channeling toddler energy into creative play, or encouraging developmental milestones through reading, music, and learning activities.

When our family relocated to a new state, Elvi didn’t hesitate, she packed up and moved with us, becoming our live-in nanny for the past 5 months. This alone speaks volumes about her commitment and flexibility. Sadly, my husband’s career now requires another unexpected move, and due to space constraints, we must part ways sooner than we ever wanted. This is purely circumstantial—we would keep her with us for many more years if possible.

Elvi has been more than a caregiver; she has been a steady presence and a trusted partner in parenting. As a new mom, I have leaned on her for advice, reassurance, and insight into early childhood development. My husband is in the public spotlight, and she has been nothing but professional, respectful, and discreet.

Most importantly, she truly loves our children, and they adore her in return. My daughter’s deep, joyful bond with Elvi is proof of the care, attention, and affection she receives. Elvi doesn’t just watch children—she nurtures them, encourages them, and celebrates their growth. She is honest, reliable, compassionate, and will be a blessing to any household. We are incredibly grateful for her time with us and cannot recommend her highly enough.

I am forever grateful for the incredible 5 months we've shared with Elvira in our lives. From the very beginning, she's been the sunshine in our home, radiating honesty, warmth, and an unwavering commitment to our daughter's well-being. 

As working parents, Elvira’s clear communication, punctuality, and flexibility has been a constant source of reassurance for us. With every update, photo and conversation, she's shown an unparalleled level of transparency and care, ensuring that we're always connected to our daughter's world, no matter where we are.

My daughter was 7 months when Elvie started with us. During her tenure, my daughter got her first couple of teeth, started solids, mastered walking and had more than her fair share of getting “sick”. Elvie was with us every step of the way. 

It's been a joy to witness the blossoming bond my daughter and Elvie have cultivated during play and mealtimes, filled with laughter, learning, and endless love. We are parting ways simply because we’re moving states, I would bring her with us in a heartbeat if I could.

Elvie has been a beacon of light in our lives, a source of strength, and a cherished friend. Her positivity, kindness, and unwavering dedication have left an indelible mark on our hearts, and we are grateful for the love and joy she has brought into our home.

If you’re considering Elvira for your position and have any questions, please feel free to ask her for my contact info as I’d be happy to share more!!

Elvira has been caring for our baby for the past two weeks and she has been excellent. She is on time and very loving of our child. She prepares him meals, takes him on walks around the park, and found ways to keep him happy even on his fussy days. Unfortunately, we no longer needed a nanny for the summer but we recommend her for a home looking for quality care.

Elvy was a great nanny for us! Even though our time was cut short with her because my daughter got into an infant program we will miss her very much! She was great with our 10 week old - always talking her on walks, talking and singing to her and following any direction we gave her. She also would wash the dishes and clean when our baby was down for a nap. Would definitely hire her again!!

Elvira has been with my family for about a year watching my toddler. She has been so reliable and it's been so nice to have someone we can fully count on. Also, my daughter loves her! 
The only reason we are not continuing with a nanny is because I am having a second baby and will now be staying home full time. We will still call Elvira to ask for occasional babysitting hours. As someone who is extremely picky with who I have watching my daughter, I highly recommend her!

Elvira was our nanny for all of last year (2021) before our daughter started full-day at school.  Elvira is a wonderful nanny, she is always 5-10 minutes early, honest, happy and very loving with our daughter.  She loves to do arts and crafts, take our daughter to the park, teach her Spanish and play any type of game with her.  We will greatly miss you, Elvira! Thank you for taking such good care of our daughter.....I am happy to speak with anyone who has any questions about Elvira - she is truly wonderful.

Elvira was wonderful with our 1 year old. She knew to keep my daughter engaged and my daughter loved to be with Elvira too. Unfortunately, we were moving so I wouldn't be engaging Elvira for the long term. I would strongly recommend her for your nanny needs

Elvira has been a wonderful addition to our family. Not only has she been a great help and positive figure to our daughter's, she was also flexible when we needed to adjust her hours and send our kid's back to day care. If you hire Elvira, you will get a trustworthy and helpful nanny/babysitter, a very sweet lady.

Elvira was amazing with our newborn baby boy. I'm a new Mom and she was patient with my nerves as a new Mommy  and most importantly loved our son! Unfortunately I had to move or she would still be with us.
