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!

I'm CPR trained and always make safety a priority (while still keeping things fun and positive). I have my driver's license and my own car, so I'm flexible and can help with things like school pick-ups or errands if needed! I'm also super comfortable with pets, so that's never an issue! I try to create a relaxed, fun environment while still sticking to routines and helping out wherever I can. I'd love to be someone your family can count on!
