Meet Elysa

  • Comfortable with pets

Hello! My name is Elysa, and I am a former Reggio-Emilia preschool teacher now seeking a position as a nanny &/or family assistant. Over the years, I have had the privilege of working with children in a classroom setting, where I learned the importance of fostering creativity, emotional intelligence, and a sense of belonging. My work has been guided by the principles of the Reggio Emilia philosophy, which encourages a child-centered approach to education and views children as competent, curious, and capable of driving their own learning. Outside of teaching, I have also babysat & provided light housekeeping for multiple families! In my career as an educator, I developed a deep understanding of how to meet the individual needs of children & their families. I always prioritize building strong relationships based on trust and open communication. Whether through encouraging free play or simply being present for a child when they Read more need support, I believe in being a consistent and caring guide through their developmental milestones. I am also highly organized and adaptable, with experience handling day-to-day responsibilities such as preparing meals, managing schedules, and providing a safe, stimulating environment for children. I strongly believe that the power of play, exploration, and curiosity shape the early years of a child’s life. I am deeply committed to creating a welcoming, creative, and dynamic environment for children & their families. Outside of my professional life I enjoy boxing, reading, cooking, spending time with family, & hiking! I am excited about the opportunity to apply my knowledge & experience in a more personal, individualized setting. I look forward to meeting you & learning how I can support your family’s needs! :)
