I enjoy working with kids, not only taking good care of them but also expending quality time with time. I like to include activities and games that not only entertain the little ones but also help with their cognitive and motor stimulation. I have experience with toddlers and also can take care of younger babies. I can provide help with house duties.

I am from the west side of Chicago and I have been taking care of children since I was a young teenager. I have worked with a company for a little over 2 years, working with kids who attend school. I can help with chores around the household, homework, or any other tasks that will create a comfortable space. I own a dog and know why or how a task involving a dog will be handled. If I have questions I communicate well with the guardians and able to figure out the situation.

Very good and patient

Booked by 6 families in Lyons, IL

Hi there! I’m Elena — a caring, dependable, and bilingual (English & Spanish) nanny with over 10 years of experience working with children of all ages, from infants to teens. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology with a minor in Hispanic Studies, along with a Master’s in Business Administration. My passion for childcare started early — I have 17 nieces and nephews (yes, 17!), and I’ve been helping care for them since I was young. Since then, I’ve worked with many families, creating safe, fun, and nurturing environments where kids can grow, learn, and just be themselves. I’m fully up to date on vaccines and always prioritize safety and open communication. Whether you need help with homework, meal prep, bedtime routines, or fun educational activities, I’m here to support your family however I can. Looking forward to meeting you and your little ones!

She was very caring and very helpful! Definitely recommend her 100%! Me and my son love her. Amazing help. Thank you so much!
