About Elaine
Experience: 10 yrs
COVID-19 vaccinated
I bring experience, education and wisdom to caring for your children and making your days easier. My goal is to enrich the lives of all family members. I brought up my sons while teaching in public and private schools. I look forward to every day spent with children, accompanying them as they teach us who they are! Each child is unique, with different needs and capabilities. Nurturing children as individuals shows respect, inspiring confidence and trust. Of particular interest is developing a sense of humor, which I hold is a learned attribute benefiting children throughout their lives. I also emphasize courtesy, as mannerly children are afforded more opportunities. Of import, too, is the recognition of talent. Talent is often displayed before the age of five.

Elaine is our current nanny and she is truly one of the most amazing people I know. I still pinch myself after 2.5 years that my family is so lucky to have her in our lives. She has the ability to connect with children of all ages and her connection with babies is something special. My kids are 2,9 and 11 and she can keep up with them. She swings my 9 year around better than I can! She plays for hours with my 2 year. She makes each child feel so special. As a working mom she lightens my load which gives me more time with my family. I could go on and on about what a true blessing she is.
