Hello ))
I am a professional kindergarten teacher with over 10 years of experience, my background is clean and well, please, read my references down below. I'm seeking to find a great family with 1 healthy child of any ages. My current contract will be done in July, and after summer break I'll be ready for a new one. 
I'm an energetic and flexible, but I have an allergy to cats. Baby sitter available.

Yelena is like family to us! She joined us when our daughter was 9 months old and has been great with her ever since. Our daughter is excited to see her when she arrives and enjoys spending time with her. Yelena prepares her meals, sings and teaches her words in multiple languages, takes her on walks and outside, does her laundry, and other daily routine activities. She makes sure our daughter is in a safe and clean environment. I would highly recommend Yelena to anyone - she is great with children and my pets! We will miss her greatly as she truly has become part of the family.

Yelena is incredibly sweet and caring, very responsible, and also a great teacher. She  took care of our son for a year after school, picked him up every day, and also helped with household chores. She made our lives much easier, and I would absolutely recommend her. 

Yelena did a tremendous job with my 5 month old baby. She was punctual, dependable, respectful, and cheerful. Had a lot of fun playing with Yelena and he learnt a few new things within a week. Yelena is especially good at doing fun activities with babies. I would hire her again!

Yelena has been with our family for the last 2.5 years. She started taking care of my son when he was 12 weeks old. As a first-time mother, I was extremely nervous to have someone look after him, but Yelena was so caring, loving, and nurturing and my concerns quickly vanished. Our son loves her and she has truly become a part of our family.

Yelena has an extensive background in child development/education and was always super creative in coming up with fun, age-appropriate crafts and projects for our son. He has a high level of focus and concentration for his age and I believe that is in large part due to the activities Yelena created for him. She has prepared him well excel in preschool.

Yelena is also highly trustworthy and safe - she has been EXTREMELY COVID cautious and we never had to worry about her continuing to take care of our son throughout the pandemic. In addition, Yelena is super reliable - she was punctual every morning and very rarely had to make schedule changes.

Yelena was our first nanny for our newborn son. Due to our scheduling we hired her for a 3-month period between October-December 2018. She was always punctual and willing to work with our schedules which sometimes included long hours. While caring for our child Yelena would also help with minor household chores such as the baby's laundry. I felt like the baby was shown care and stimulated with walks, plenty of tummy time, and play. I especially enjoyed that Yelena would let our baby sleep outside in the fresh-air and sunshine - weather permitting of course. If it possible in the future we'll try to snatch Yelena out of the hands of another family!

We hired Yelena to care for our 3 month old daughter from June - August, 2018.  Yelena is delightful! One of us often works from home, so we are able to observe her dedication to our daughter throughout the day. Yelena was quick to discover our daughter's likes and dislikes and helped us build a predictable schedule for her. Yelena is talented in her ability to engage our daughter in developmental activities. Yelena demonstrates patience as she explains the world to our daughter. For example, when there was a thunderstorm and our daughter was anxious she explained to me that our daughter was not scared rather she did not understand the noises she was hearing. It is wonderful that Yelena shares our belief that knowledge is power, even as an infant. Beyond caring for our daughter, Yelena walks our elderly dog. She shows infinite kindness to us as parents and I can go to work with confidence that our baby is being shown love and kindness while I am away. 

She is extremely hard-working and maintains a positive attitude. She's a very creative person.

If you are looking for a loving and caring person to nanny your children, Yelena is the right person for you. You can see right away that there is a natural love for kids. She is not your average nanny, she will work with your baby on his or her developmental milestones. You can see right away that she has enormous experience and a great deal of patience, love and care for your little one(s). I highly recommend Yelena to to anyone as a nanny because it's hard to find people like that these days.

I've known Yelena for more than 20 years, but her ability to instantly connect with animals, people and especially children still amazes me. Every time my two girls get a chance to spend some time with Yelena, they learn so much through a different games and beautiful stories that she creates herself.  Being a professional teacher, an educator and a writer, Yelena will make the life of your children not just fun, but educational as well. Her experience, her creativity, the level of knowledge and a passion for working with children of all ages make her so much more than just a babysitter. When you witness the wonderful interaction between Yelena and your child, whether its an infant or a 10 year old, you'll feel very comfortable leaving your most prized possession in her care.

I cannot say enough good things about Yelena G.  I met her when I was looking for back-up care for my daughter in June 2013.  She responded right away and rearranged her schedule with another position she had at the time to accommodate my urgent needs.  I was a little apprehensive bringing a new care-giver into my home for my 6-month old at the time, but she was so loving and gentle that my daughter felt at ease with her immediately, which gave me a huge sense of relief.  After the support she gave me for a week, I asked her to stay on with me full-time and she graciously accepted even though her commute is more than an hour!  Yelena is a true professional in every way, and more than that she made her way into our hearts and became a member of our family very quickly.   I could not have trusted a less experienced person with my baby during the bouts of teething and acid reflux (which my daughter unfortunately suffered with for several months).  Yelena is always calm and happy and just knows what to do in every situation.  She cooks my daughter healthy, organic meals every day and even manages to squeeze in a load of laundry or two, which greatly eases my household responsibilities.  Yelena is more than just our nanny, she is a teacher to our child and a trust-worthy friend you can have a laugh with!  We are sad that her time with us is nearing an end as she will be sorely missed, but I'm certain she will bring a lot of joy and comfort to her next family too!!
