Hi! My name is Elena and I’m pursuing a Master’s in School Counseling. I’m 32 years old and grew up in a big family here in Chicago. I’ve loved the experience of helping my friends with their young kids, and have volunteered as a summer camp counselor at Camp Odayin for children with heart disease for the last 8 years. Managing my own chronic heart issues over the course of my life has instilled in a general caution, thoughtfulness, and responsibility that I hope to bring to every interaction with families!

With over 19 years of experience in childcare and education, I am passionate about creating safe, nurturing, and engaging environments where children can thrive. Throughout my career, I have been dedicated to supporting each child's emotional, social, and academic growth while providing exceptional care. I currently serve as a high school educator and have previous experience as a nanny for three children and as a daycare provider, caring for children from newborns through 12 years of age. These diverse roles have given me extensive experience adapting to the unique developmental needs of children at every stage. As an English and literacy teacher, I am especially passionate about fostering strong reading and writing skills. I have also volunteered as a literacy tutor with a nonprofit organization, helping elementary students build confidence and strengthen their reading abilities. I believe that developing a love for literacy early in life provides children with a strong foundation for lifelong learning and success. My goal is to provide families with dependable, compassionate care while encouraging children to grow, explore, and reach their full potential in a safe and supportive environment.

I have over 13 years of professional childcare experience caring for children from infancy through adolescence, including extensive experience in private, high-profile, and ultra-high-net-worth households. Throughout my career, I have provided everything from newborn and toddler care to supporting school-aged children and teenagers, often serving as a trusted partner to parents in busy, dynamic family environments.My experience includes developmental milestone support, overnight care, travel nannying, household management, family assistant responsibilities, and caring for multiple children simultaneously. I have traveled domestically and internationally with families, managed complex schedules and routines, coordinated activities, prepared healthy meals, and helped create structured, nurturing environments where children can thrive.I am passionate about fostering independence, confidence, curiosity, and emotional intelligence in children through engaging, age-appropriate experiences. Families often describe me as warm, proactive, dependable, and highly intuitive. I take pride in anticipating needs, maintaining professionalism and discretion, and building lasting relationships with the children and families I support. My goal is always to create a safe, enriching, and supportive environment where children feel valued, encouraged, and empowered to grow.

Hi! I’m currently finishing up my bachelors in exercise science! Looking for longer hours and a consistent schedule if needed. I have lots of experience with children of all ages and am looking forward to assisting your family!
