"Elena worked as our nanny for more than two years, starting when my son was 18 months old. Initially, she was part of a nanny share, but we were so impressed with her care that we kept her on as our private nanny once the other family's child moved on to preschool. Elena is a dedicated and highly capable caregiver. Some highlights of our experience with her: Reliability: She is dependable. Most notably, she stayed overnight with our son while I was in the hospital delivering my daughter, which gave us such peace of mind. Engagement: She took my son and his nanny-share friend to a park. Also, she helped us potty-train him. She doesn't just watch the kids; she actively engages them. She regularly set up sensory and language-rich activities. Communication: She has a great way of talking with children that feels both respectful and educational."

"Elena is amazing with children! I had the privilege of teaching alongside her at Tulane Montessori in San Mateo, CA for eight years. She has a special gift—whenever a child was missing their mom, Elena always seemed to have the magic touch. Years later, children still return to the school asking for their favorite teacher, Ms. Elena."

More About Me

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

Montessori preschool teacher assistant at Tulane Montessori Children’s House in San Mateo, CA.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

Reading, coloring, painting, going for walks, playing with bubbles, creating art projects, critical thinking activities and encouraging practical life skills while together.

The most important part about being a nanny...

Creating a safe space and environment, creating a space of nurture, a space where kids can explore their interests and be them selves and keeping the wonder of the world alive.

My experience with special needs children...

While a teacher assistant I have worked with children who have ADHD.

The most important part about being a nanny...

When I was a nanny for 2 years I created curriculum for the children who were 2 years old when I started. Instead of forcing a curriculum on the kids I got to know them first, observe their interests and from there created a curriculum. In the first year being their nanny I noticed they were into space! So from there I created space related activities and art projects. My favorite moment was when the parents were would tell me how impressed they were that their kids at the age of 2.5yrs knew all the planets and the order they are placed in. These moments fill my heart!

Dion R. - Seeking Work in Fair Oaks

Part-Time Nanny Available in Fair Oaks, CA: Dion R.

My name is Dion Regan, I've lived in Sacramento, California my whole life. I have a husband and two children that I adore. I have worked for San Juan unified school district for 20 years and I have a great amount of experience in caring for children of all ages in lots of different environments. I started working in childcare at the age of 11, I taught Sunday school for 7 years at my church, and I drove a school bus for special needs students as well as regular ed. Caring for children has always been a passion of mine, as I thoroughly enjoy doing different activities with them like reading, arts and crafts, cooking, singing, dancing, and a myriad of other fun things. Over the many years I've spent in childcare, I've developed a certain approach to interacting with children. In my own personal experience, children are their own individuals who deserve a degree of respect. When you meet them on their level they're more likely to listen to what you have to say.
