About Elena
Experience: 10 yrs
COVID-19 vaccinated
*References and full resume available upon request* I am a highly experienced night nanny with a MA in Clinical Social Work from the University of Michigan, a graduate certificate in Infant Mental Health (in progress) from Erikson Institute, and a BA in Linguistics and Education. I have experience caring for children of all ages, but my passion is supporting infants and their families as a night nanny. I've worked with premature babies, twins, and infants with feeding challenges, always meeting each family where they are with warmth and attentiveness. My goal is to provide parents with peace of mind, ensuring their baby is cared for as if they were my own, so they can rest and recharge. I understand that the postpartum period is a transition for the whole family. I strive to support parents emotionally while creating a calm, steady presence in the home. If you're looking for a dedicated night nanny to guide you through this precious time with gentle care I would love to help.

Elena is, without a doubt, the most wonderful nanny one could ever imagine. She cared for my son periodically from the age of 4 to 11, and I couldn’t have asked for a better person to trust with his well-being. She is incredibly caring, genuine, and responsible, always handling every situation with kindness and sensitivity. Elena has a special way with children—they simply adore her! She creates a warm and loving environment where kids feel safe, happy, and engaged. Whether it’s educational activities, creative play, or simply making sure they have a fantastic time, she does it all with thoughtfulness and dedication. Elena is also highly dependable—she always ensures that children are safely transported to their activities and takes their comfort and happiness to heart. She treats every child with the utmost care, making sure they feel valued and supported. In addition to my own experience, a couple of my friends have also turned to Elena for help with their newborns, and they couldn’t be more grateful. Her patience, warmth, and expertise in infant care provided them with much-needed support and peace of mind during those early months. I wholeheartedly recommend Elena to any family looking for a nanny who will not only take care of their child but also nurture and inspire them. She is truly exceptional!
