A little bit about me

Hi!
I am currently looking for a new family to help. I have to sadly say goodbye to my current lovely kiddo who is headed to preschool. I have done a mix of gardening, motherhood and a nanny for 20+ years.
I enjoy doing art, music, and connecting with nature. I have had personal and professional caregiving experience with children of all ages. I am also comfortable working with special needs kids and have references to show experience with this. I am confident going on adventures around town such as story times, Omsi, zoo,plays etc.
I will provide a safe, structured, kind space for them. I am CPR/First Aid certified and fully vaccinated. I have 2 daughters age 13 and 20 and hope to find a good fit so I can still help pick up from school. My happy place is when I'm with children, and I am hoping to meet my next best buddies.

"We hired Elfina to care for our son and we couldnt be more grateful to have had her. She worked with our family for nearly 4 years until we moved places. She always had a great attitude. And came up with different activities, games and books to play that helped my son developed his curiosity for reading, learning and boosted his own creativity. I highly recommend Elfina, she is very reliable, caring and positive"

"Elfina was our son’s nanny for over a year and a half. Our son has some special needs and she is amazing with him. We cannot say enough good things about her. She is reliable, caring and creative. She took our son on all sorts of adventures around town! I never once worried about my son when he was in Elfina’s care. Any parent knows that there is enough to worry about with kids and to have childcare that you trust is invaluable. My husband and I routinely still talk about how INCREDIBLY lucky we are to have had Elfina. Any family would be lucky to have her care for their children."

"Elfina is absolutely who you want watching your child. She’s watched our little one for almost 2 years now, and he always has the best time with her, while we have complete peace of mind. Elfina is gentle, knowledgeable, playful, and creative. Sometimes we’ve come home to cookies, and one time we realized Elfina had taught our son how to get down from a tall bed safely! Many times Elfina has taught our son something new. It’s clear Elfina loves children. We feel really lucky to have found her and I couldn’t recommend her more."
