A little bit about me

Hi there! I'm Elena. I am currently a student at Lenoir-Rhyne University, to get majors in psychology and criminal justice. I have a deep passion for working with young children and take a personalized approach to helping each child grow and learn. My experience includes preparing meals for children with dietary restrictions, and cleaning, and I’m certified in CPR. When I’m not in school or babysitting, I love coaching swimming and volunteering at the humane society.

More About Me

Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...

For the past four years, I’ve had the incredible opportunity to work with children and teens aged 5 to 18 as a swim coach. This role has allowed me to not only teach swimming skills but also to mentor and support young athletes as they build confidence and develop their abilities. Coaching has given me a chance to encourage kids to push their limits, achieve their goals, and foster a love for swimming. It’s been rewarding to see them grow both in the pool and in their personal lives.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I enjoy engaging children in a variety of activities that are both fun and educational. Some of my favorite activities include arts and crafts, going to parks, visiting museums, and going swimming.

The most important part about being a nanny...

The most important part about being a nanny is creating a safe and nurturing environment where children feel valued and supported. Building a trusting relationship with both the children and their families is essential to me. As it allows me to help guide and encourage the kids through their development. It's about being a positive role model, offering consistent care, and making sure each child feels loved and understood.

The most important part about being a nanny...

My favorite nanny moment was making gingerbread houses. It was so much fun just watching the kids get excited as they decorated their houses with candy, using their creativity to bring their designs to life. The joy on their faces as they proudly showed off their finished gingerbread houses was priceless, and it made the whole experience truly memorable.

Hi! My name is Ireland Patterson and I’m a 20 year old Criminal Justice student at the Hickory Appalachian State campus, I plan to be a juvenile forensic investigator after I graduate. I have always had a genuine love for caring for and spending time with children. I have experience caring for toddlers from babysitting two young children alongside my mom, and I’ve also gained infant-care experience through regularly babysitting my niece since becoming an aunt. Growing up with a brother who has multiple intellectual and physical disabilities has also given me valuable experience, and understanding when caring for children with different needs. I’m a compassionate and patient person who believes every child deserves high-quality care, and attention. I prefer hands-on, engaging activities over relying on screens and technology, and I enjoy creating a fun, safe environment through play and one on one interaction. I have a wide availability and I look forward to meeting with you!

Hi! My name is Kelsey, and I have over 10 years of experience working with children. I have a degree in Early Childhood Development and began my career as a preschool teacher before going on to work in education and eventually opening my own licensed in-home daycare.

Running my daycare was incredibly rewarding, and I cared for children from newborn through 5 years old while providing age-appropriate learning, care, and support for their developmental milestones.
