Find nannies in Dana Point, CA

Hello! My name is Elyse and I have nearly 10 years of experience in early childhood care. I have worked with children from infancy through age 13, including neurodivergent children, and held an au pair position abroad for 11 months. I am kind, patient, and energetic, and I enjoy getting to know the children and families I work with to build meaningful & lasting relationships. I believe these strong connections help create a supportive and nurturing environment where children can learn, grow, and thrive. Additionally, I love animals, being outside (hiking, surfing, biking, etc.), and spending time with loved ones. If you are looking for some help with your little ones or pets, please feel free to reach out! Best, Elyse

Hello! I’m a nanny with 7 years of experience caring for children from newborns to 10 years old. Before nannying, I worked as an assistant teacher at a Montessori preschool, where I gained valuable experience in child development and early education. I truly enjoy helping children learn, grow, and have fun in a safe and nurturing environment. I love planning engaging activities, encouraging creativity, and supporting each child’s unique personality and developmental needs. Building strong relationships with both children and parents is important to me, and I’m committed to being a reliable and positive part of your family’s support system. I’d love the opportunity to connect and see if I’d be a good fit for your family!

Profile Image: features me and my nephew whose parents have given permission for the use of this photo. ——————— I don’t am a passionate childcare professional (taught K-8 Art and 7/8 History) who fosters nurturing, engaging, and inclusive environments where children can thrive. With a background in teaching and curriculum development for young learners, I prioritize hands-on, creative experiences that meet the unique needs of every child. My expertise includes crafting individualized lesson plans, using trauma-informed approaches, and promoting social-emotional learning through art and play. I value strong communication with families and collaboration to create a supportive community for children. In my free time, I enjoy rock climbing, hiking, painting in the park, crafting, and visiting museums—activities that reflect my love for creativity, exploration, and making meaningful connections with the world around me. I am also currently a full-time student at SFSU, getting my M.A. in History. Fluent in English and Spanish, I bring a multicultural approach to childcare that supports diverse and inclusive experiences (by exposing a child to a new language, you open neural pathways that aid in speech, cognitive ability, and overall communication).

I'm a warm, fun-loving, and enthusiastic nanny with over 10 years of experience caring for children from newborns (including preemies) through school age. Ive had the privilege of working with multiple families, which has given me a deep understanding of child development, patience, compassion and the importance of creating a safe nurturing environment. As the oldest of three, caring for others has always come naturally to me. I truly love all aspects of childcare -- from hands-on playtime and mealtimes to outdoor adventures and supporting them through age appropriate milestones. I strive to create a positive, engaging and loving experience for every child in my care. Im happy to provide references upon request and am also very comfortable with family pets.
