About Elana
Experience: 10 yrs
COVID-19 vaccinated
I am a graduate sculpture major, artist and nanny, and am enthusiastic about working with children. They keep it real, and I have found I learn just as much from them as I hope they do from me. I have worked as an artist, educator, and caregiver since high school - I have a decade of experience and pride myself on being engaged and creative with children, as well as responsible and patient. Each child is different and I care-give accordingly. I moved to LA three years ago and am considering going back to school at some point to be a midwife. I was a PT nanny in LA for two years for two different families, and before that, a FT nanny for three years in Baltimore taking care of a darling girl starting when she was 4 months old. I also have experience with older children as a violin tutor all through high school. I am flexible, loving, naturally playful, and focused on rich development through education, the outdoors, and art. I'd love to hear from you if we sound like a good fit.

Elana has been working for my family for over a year, since my youngest was only 2 months old. I hired her to help with my 2 children, now ages 1.5 and 4 years old. She has worked for us in a nannying capacity and also helps out around the house wherever she can. I am so lucky to have found Elana! She is caring and very loving towards the children. She is so reliable and always on time. She is very clean and organized, our house is spotless when she leaves. She is also flexible in her schedule. She continues to work for us more as a babysitter now that the kids are in daycare/preschool and she has a great relationship with the kids.
