Hi! I have been a nanny for children ages newborn-teenage years & was with my last family for 5 years! I have over 20 years of experience in child development as an assistant director at a large childcare center, a preschool teacher, an after-school teacher, a counselor (at multiple camps), a soccer coach, as well as an activities director at a 5 star resort in Guam. I have cared for multiple sets of twins, families with up to 4 children, a child with ADHD & a child with Pervasive Development Disorder on the Autism spectrum. I have 33 units in Child Development & my Site Supervisor permit from CA Commission on Teacher Credentialing. I'm Infant/Child/Adult CPR & First Aid certified, have my TB clearance, TDAP shot, CA Fingerprint Clearance & a clean DMV driving record. I am also a member of NAEYC (National Association for the Education of Young Children) to keep me updated on the most current research & news about child development. I am also a member of the International Nanny Association.
We feel incredibly fortunate to have had Elysha caring for our family. From the very beginning, she brought warmth, reliability, and a genuine love for our children that immediately put us at ease. Our kids quickly bonded with her and it was clear that she truly cared about their well-being and development. She consistently went above and beyond in her role. She planned creative activities, lots of outside time and helped maintain a structured routine we requested. She always kept us informed about daily activities, milestones, and any concerns, which gave us great peace of mind. Most importantly, she created a safe, nurturing, and positive environment where our children felt happy and supported. We wholeheartedly recommend Elysha to any family looking for someone trustworthy, compassionate, and dedicated.
