We are incredibly fortunate to have Elena as part of our family. She is truly a modern-day Mary Poppins—her nurturing nature, boundless creativity, and unwavering dedication make her the perfect fit for our home. From the moment she stepped into our lives, she has taken such wonderful care of our son and, on occasion, our toddler, creating a warm, engaging environment that fosters their growth and happiness. Her ability to come up with new, fun activities that keep our son entertained and stimulated has been amazing. Whether it’s a craft project, an outdoor adventure, or an educational game, she is always coming up with fresh ideas that not only capture his attention but also teach him valuable skills along the way. It’s clear that she genuinely cares about making each day enjoyable and enriching for our little ones. In addition to her incredible skills with the kids, she’s been an immense help around the house. Her thoughtful contributions make my life so much easier. She does everything from organizing a chaotic play area to tidying up after a day of fun to lending a hand with household tasks. She truly cares about the well-being of our family and supports us in so many ways. She’s not only a nanny, but also a top-notch party assistant and planner! When it comes to throwing kids' birthday parties, Elena has truly shone. Her knack for party planning is outstanding—she’s always researching the latest party decoration trends and fun, unique activities that make every celebration feel special. Working together to plan the best parties has been so much fun, and her ability to turn every event into a magical experience is something we’ll always treasure. From the themed decorations to the custom games, no detail is ever overlooked, and the results are always beyond my expectations. When there aren’t parties to plan, she’s working to decorate the home and liven things up. She has inspired me on countless occasion and has motivated me to make the interior design changes I’ve always wanted. Our friends and family credit me for all the fantastic parties/decorations but I couldn’t have accomplished nearly so much without Elena’s help. She makes me feel like an amazing mom! It’s hard to put into words just how much of an impact she’s had on our lives. Her presence in our home gives me the freedom to focus on my work and other responsibilities, knowing that my children are in the very best hands. She has been an incredible addition to our family, and you would be lucky to have her taking care of your children.
