A little bit about me
Hi! My name is Elena. I never held an official Nanny title but I have cared for my 3 younger brothers from birth to 3 years in age. And I used to help the nursery at my old church. I would love to be an official nanny because children are so fun to work with! I just recently moved here from Mississippi. I would like to say I am a trans woman just so that way you’re not caught he surprised. I believe that kids should explore their creativity and have as much fun while they can as a child.

Hello! I am a very reliable, patient and devoted person who has a passion for caring for children of all ages. I have been caring for and educating children for about nine years. I have graduated with my degree in Early Childhood Education and Child and Youth Psychology. I have experience working in a daycare environment for multiple years, working with children from the ages of 4 months to 3 years. I worked as a preschool and 2nd grade teacher, as well as substituting in grades pre-k to 6th grade. I recently have worked as a Registered Behavioral Technician, working one on one with children who have autism. I take pride in my ability to teach children through hands-on learning experiences and developmental play. I am confident in my organizational skills, ability to multitask and prioritizing the needs of a child as it best suits them. With these skills I am able to provide a safe, positive and stable environment for your kiddos!

Recent reference
"We love Janis (that’s how my son calls her). She helps me so much—not just with my toddler but also with laundry, cleaning, or whatever I need. She is sweet and understands what’s important for a child, like knowing what to feed him or the importance of quality time, such as playing the same game over and over. She is very patient. And she cooks so well! I’m saying this as I enjoy her delicious soup with my toddler."
