I have been babysitting since I was 13 years old for parents in my neighborhood. I also helped at both at my mom and my dad's house, watching my numerous little siblings, giving me experience with all different age groups. I was a nanny throughout high school working with infants to teenagers. I have been an Au pair in Croatia, Spain, and Wales. In the summer months I coach and run the gymnastics program at a sleep away camp in Pennsylvania. I have a degree in Political science and have begun applying to grad school to pursue a masters in Global Affairs. I love to cook and bake as well as do arts and crafts and read. I enjoy being outside as much as possible so long as the weather allows for it. Feel free to reach out with any questions you may have.

I had the pleasure of having Elayna as a nanny for my autistic son during the holiday season, and I cannot express enough how grateful I am for her exceptional care and support. Elayna's warmth, dedication, and genuine love for her work truly set her apart. From the moment Elayna joined our family, it was evident that she had a natural ability to connect with my son. Her engagement with him was not only heartwarming but also essential for his well-being. Elayna's understanding of his unique needs was impressive, and she consistently tailored her approach to ensure he felt comfortable and secure. What truly stood out was Elayna's unwavering support. She went above and beyond to create a nurturing environment for my son, fostering his confidence and independence. Her patience and kindness were evident in every interaction, making the holiday season a joyous and stress-free experience for both my son and me. Elayna's culinary skills were an unexpected bonus. Not only did she attend to my son's emotional needs, but she also took care of his nutritional well-being by preparing delicious meal and brought cookies. The effort she put into providing a well-rounded and balanced experience showcased her commitment to holistic caregiving. As a parent, having Elayna by my side allowed me to entertain during the holidays with peace of mind. I could enjoy the festivities knowing that my son was in the best possible hands. Elayna's professionalism and dedication to her role made her an invaluable part of our family during the holiday season. In conclusion, I wholeheartedly recommend Elayna as a nanny, especially for children with special needs. Her genuine love, engaging approach, and all-encompassing care create a supportive environment that goes beyond expectations. Elayna is not just a caregiver; she is a true gem who made a significant positive impact on our family, and we are incredibly fortunate to have had her with us during the holidays.
