A little bit about me

My name is Raffaela, and taking care of children is something I feel passionate about. I have experience from when I was in college. For the last four years I have been a resource parent (ie, foster parent). Since I am not fostering at the moment, I have time and lots of experience in childcare. My other passion is education, and I teach college courses online. My flexible schedule allows me to manage the two roles I care about the most.

A little bit about me

Hello! My name is Elena, and I’m a 23-year-old caregiver with a strong background in education and youth mentorship. I have experience working as a teaching assistant for a virtual school, supporting students with their academic and personal development. In addition, I work for a nonprofit STEM program where I mentor and guide high school students—so I’m comfortable creating engaging, educational activities tailored to different age groups.

Beyond my professional background, I’ve also spent years caring for younger family members, which has helped me develop a nurturing, patient, and dependable approach to caregiving. I’m passionate about helping children learn, grow, and feel safe, and I understand the importance of structure, creativity, and fun in a child’s daily routine.

I’m available for part-time or full-time nannying opportunities and am happy to assist with homework help, meal prep, light cleaning, and educational play.
