A little bit about me

Hi! I’m Elen, a warm, reliable nanny with hands-on experience supporting infants through preschoolers. I currently work in a private preschool and love helping little ones learn through play, routines, music, and outdoor time. Families describe me as patient, organized, and proactive with communication. I’m bilingual (Portuguese/English) and happy to incorporate language exposure, simple meal prep, light child-related tidying, and consistent nap/bedtime routines. I value safety, kindness, and structure, and I partner closely with parents on daily updates and goals. I’m looking for a family that appreciates a caring, trustworthy professional who treats children as her own. Open to part-time or full-time. References available.

A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Kathy Fazio. I am 70years old and have been a caregiver for over 30 years. I have 5 children and 4 grandchildren, I take care of my 10 month old on Tuesdays. I had my own home day care while my children were young. After they were grown, I worked in residential with mentally and physically challenged adults. In addition I worked as a PCA and also teacher's aide with mentally and physically challenged children. Once I retired in 2012 I decided to become a nanny.
In 2013 I began working with a family with 3 children ages 4 months, 3 yrs old and 5 years old. I was with them for 7 years. Also during this time I took care of 2 of the neighbor families too. When I went part time with this family I also worked full time with another family of 3 children from [phone number hidden], when they went back to school full time. I worked a temporary job from April 2021 until August 2021 with 3 children. From August 2021- August 2023 I worked with 3 children part time.

A little bit about me

I am an experienced early childhood educator with a Master’s Degree in Education and a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology. For many years, I have worked as a lead preschool teacher, helping children build confidence, develop self-regulation skills, and grow socially and emotionally.

My approach combines warmth, patience, and structure. I am passionate about creating nurturing environments where children feel safe, supported, and encouraged to learn. I also have a background in mindfulness and yoga, which allows me to incorporate age-appropriate breathing, movement, and calming techniques into my work.

As a mother of three adult children and a grandmother, I bring both professional knowledge and real-life parenting experience. I am CPR and First Aid certified, dependable, organized, and committed to providing exceptional care. I am excited to transition into a nanny role where I can offer individualized support and build meaningful relationships with children and families.
