Hi! I'm Elsa and I'm a 24 year old Certified Nursing Assistant and Certified Patient Care Technician. I am also CPR and First Aid certified. I grew up in a big family so my experience with babysitting began in my own home and with close family. Over the years I have worked with many families with all kinds of backgrounds. I have been a babysitter, dog walker, tutor and mother's helper. I have experience in working with children that range from a toddler to teenager. With that being said, I love being around kids, babies and pets! I have also been a camp counselor, and a Montessori school teacher's assistant in the past. I work at Johns Hopkins which consists of working in every unit in the hospital with the main ones being Pediatrics and Psych. I'm an energetic responsible individual who goes out my way to provide a fun, safe/clean, and stimulating environment for children. My outgoing personality and background with arts helps me connect with the imaginative and creative sides that all children have. I’m starting school again therefore I look forward to go back to being a babysitter/nanny again. I hope to speak soon :)!

I love children and it fills my heart to know that I can be part of the growth of future generations whom I have been able to positively influence in some way.

Thank you for taking the time to view my profile! I am excited for you to learn a little bit about myself. The Lord has blessed me to have a deep passion to care for and support children. I love God. I am a young and hardworking lady. I am a health, fitness, and nutritional guru. I have a passion for learning and educating children and peers on the basic benefits of maintaining a healthy lifestyle. I have a passion of arts, music and poetry. I believe children need to explore their creativity and imagination because it helps with problem solving and self awareness. With that being said, I would be honored to taking your child on field trips to the zoo, aquarium, museums, historical parks, indoor playgrounds such as sky zone, and many more! My true foundation of childcare started when I myself was a child. From babysitting little siblings, to babysitting cousins, I realized it is not an easy job but it is rewarding. Watching children grow before your eyes and helping them along the way is the most beautiful thing I have done. I have a background working as a teachers assistant at Julia Brown Montessori Schools for the past three years and I have gained a certification in CPR and Childcare and Development, and a Communication course on children. I have learned how to work with children of all personalities with constant patience and assertiveness. I am looking for something more personal now and beneficial to me in order to jumpstart my adult lifestyle and career. I hope this brief finding will allow you to trust me enough to help you with the growth of your children!

Hello! After 16 months caring for a wonderful baby girl who is now starting daycare, I am looking for a new full-time position with a loving family. I have a soft spot for babies and truly enjoy caring for them. I bring over 19 years of experience, and caring for children is more than a job for me — it’s something I do with my whole heart. I also help with light housekeeping and cooking to support the whole family. I am a fluent French speaker and speak limited English. However, many families have found this to be a positive — the little girl I’ve cared for recently now says several words in French! I don’t just meet a baby’s basic needs — I actively engage with them through creative play, singing, and activities that support early language development. I love singing to babies and watching how they light up with joy during interactive play. Helping little ones learn and grow through connection and care is something I truly enjoy. I’m reliable, nurturing, and ready to bring love and support to a new home. I’m happy to provide references from my current family. Please reach out if you’d like to learn more. 💕
