Hello my name is Elena! I have been working as a nanny and babysitter for 10 plus years now! I am CPR and first aid certified for infant, child, and adult. I have watched kids anywhere from 4 months to 15 year olds. I have worked at several summer camps including pedal heads and church camps! I am studying business and minoring in early childhood education. I always put the safety of kids first as that was the way I was taught my whole life and shown. I love dancing and being active and out in nature. I used to be a referee for kids soccer and a couch for 5-7 year olds! I used to teach dance to toddlers as well as directing a play at alki elementary school! I can clean and help out with any basic needs like laundry and meals!
I have been a pet sitter, house sitter, and dog walker for over 10 years now. I have grown up with animals including big dogs like my lovely Great Dane and my big 25 pound Maine coon kitty. I am well trained in lease training and handling as well as cat and dog CPR and first aid. I have gone through training at shelters to learn how to administer medicine and shots and provide very experienced care to all sorts of animals including reptiles, birds, chickens, goats and a lot of other furry friends! I also was a volunteer at woodland park zoo as well!
