I have over 15 years of experience working with children of all ages, starting from newborns. I am experienced in caring for preterm newborn twins, being a swim and sleep coach setting routines and potty training. I am a mother myself. My own interests include outside activities such as swimming, playing tennis, and going on walks. I love to read and learn something new everyday. I additionally speak five different languages

Jelena was very kind and caring with our 1-year old daughter. She especially loved to take her on walks and read books. She was always so thoughtful, even getting birthday and holiday gifts for our daughter and even our 3-year old son. She watched our daughter for about 6 months and only stopped   due to scheduling conflicts. We would have otherwise loved to have her continue watching our girl. 

A nicest person, very joyful and reliable!

My newborn/infant son lit up in her care. She kept him calm, fed, changed and happy while I got work done, plus some self care time- on top of that she was great company for me as well! 

Jelena is an absolute amazing caregiver.  Our 14 month old son has adored her since she started caring for him at 4 months.  She is extremely punctual and reliable, but most importantly it is obvious she truly cares for our son.  My son's days are filled with playtime, reading and lots of outside time.  She follows any nap and feeding schedules you may have while providing and listening to feedback.  We would absolutely hire Jelena again in a heartbeat if the situation allowed.

Cancelled interview at the last minute and never followed up.

My daughter loved Jelena. She started watching her around 5 months and was with us until my daughter started school at 2 years old. You can tell she genuinely cared about our daughter. Even now, my daughter is 4 and she remembers her Birthday. She was always on time, reliable, and could even help us in a pinch. She would take my daughter to the park and on long walks, which I valued because I think children should be outdoors and not always in front of the TV. If we had feedback for her she would listen, make adjustments and follow through with our wishes. I would hire her again if I could.

Jelena is wonderful.  She is excellent with children.  I have know her for over a decade and she has watched my kids for many years.  I would highly recommend her.

Jelena is an exceptional nanny. In addition to being great with our babies/toddles, she really loved them, and our kids loved her too.

Jelena is a true treasure.  She worked for us and is still employed for until she finds a new job.  She has worked for us for almost 3 years handling our 3 year old twins.  She has been amazing and I would highly recommend her.  Jelena goes out of her way to take care of our kids.  She cooks, cleans, washes their laundry etc.  Mostly, we love her because she truly cares about for our children.

Jelena was a part of our family as a nanny for 4.5 years. When she started with us we had two kids and by the time I left the workforce, she was caring for our four boys. 
She was extremely dependable and reliable. In all the time she worked for us, she never took an unscheduled day off. She was never late and always showed up with the biggest smile on her face. 

Our kids love her and she truly became a part of our family. I am happy to talk to anyone in person and give her my warmest recommendation. 

Jelena was engaged with our kids and took them outside every day. She was a great asset in running our household smoothly. She made my job as a mother much easier.
