Hi, I hope this message finds you and your family well. I am a creative, reliable caregiver with a passion for childhood development. I’ve recently relocated to Virginia Beach after 5 years in eastern Long Island, New York, and am eager to use my skills to provide cooperative support within your household. Going on my 8th year of babysitting/nannying, I feel very natural around kids and am excited to engage in a unique relationship with each family and child that I meet. I am CPR, First Aid, and AED certified, fully vaccinated, and have completed a semester of childhood and development family studies courses during my time at Mississippi State University. I am very comfortable with children of all ages and encourage fun, developmental play while maintaining a schedule! I love to add in sensory experiences, creative arts and crafts, lots of outside time to enjoy the fresh air, and Read more provide an all around safe, encouraging environment for the children that I work with. My work with kids extends into the water, as I am also an experienced swim teacher of 6+ years! I teach water safety and proper swim technique by building trust and having fun in a way that’s unique to each participant. Please message with any inquiries. Warm regards, Elaine
