A little bit about me

Hello! My name is Elyse. I am a dedicated childcare professional based in Anaheim with over nine years of experience nurturing children from infancy through school age. My background includes six years in a structured preschool environment and over three years as a private nanny.

I hold a Montessori Certification (Ages 0-2) and have completed 18 units of Early Child Development coursework. This allows me to bring an educational lens to my care, focusing on hitting developmental milestones through exploration and play. As a lifelong Disney enthusiast, I love using storytelling and imagination to connect with children on their level. (Sorry in advanced if I turn your child(ren) into a little Disney lover). I am passionate about building lifelong, trusting relationships with families and watching your little ones grow into their own unique personalities. If I seem like a good fit for your family please do not hesitate to reach out anytime.

The most important part about being a nanny...

For me, the most important part of being a nanny is the opportunity to be a steady, intentional anchor during a child’s most formative years. As someone with over 9 years of nurturing children, along with my Montessori Certification and 18 units of Child Development coursework, I don't just "watch" children; I actively partner with them as they navigate the world. By integrating my love for Disney and storytelling, I am able to meet children exactly where they are, using imagination as a bridge to help them reach their various developmental milestones. Ultimately, the most rewarding part of this career is the deep bond I build with the entire family. To me, a successful nannying relationship means becoming a trusted extension of the home—someone who doesn't just provide care, but who truly invests in the joy, growth, and long-term well-being of the children I am lucky enough to call my "work family."

The most important part about being a nanny...

My favorite part of being a nanny is serving as a front-row witness to a child’s rapid development. There is nothing more rewarding than supporting the journey of language acquisition—watching a child transition from their first babbles to speaking in fluent, confident sentences. I am deeply passionate about early literacy and take great pride in helping children bridge the gap between sounds and symbols as they learn to read and write. Additionally, I love incorporating music as a multi-sensory developmental tool, using rhythm and song to enhance memory, coordination, and phonetic awareness. I find that my extensive knowledge of the Disney universe is a powerful tool for cognitive development; by engaging children with familiar characters and complex storylines, I help them strengthen their recall and memorization skills in a way that feels like play rather than a lesson.
