About Elana

I am a junior at UCSB studying bio psychology with the goal of becoming a pediatrician. I have been babysitting on my own for the past five years, and babysat alongside my older sister starting at age 10. I've watched kids from as young as 5 months old to as old as 10. In addition to babysitting, I spent many summer and winter breaks working as a camp counselor and teaching swim lessons. I am CPR and lifeguard certified. Additionally, I understand Russian fluently and am able to speak pretty proficiently, although my American accent will come out :) Outside of babysitting I love exploring the outdoors! I love to surf, swim, hike and go on walks by the beach with friends. Something babysitting has taught is to be more creative. Any sort of arts and crafts and music bring me so much joy!
