Hello there, I'm Elaina! A proud graduate of the University at Albany, holding a degree in History and Political Science. My genuine affection for children has been a lifelong passion, fostered by my experience as an older sister to someone 10 years my junior, offering me the delightful role of a built-in, and of course, unpaid babysitter. My journey into formal babysitting began at the age of 14 and has continued unwaveringly since. The joy I find in engaging with kids, facilitating their favorite activities, and fostering outdoor adventures for their energetic spirits is something truly special. Equally, I appreciate the importance of indoor relaxation, ensuring children have the chance to unwind. My knack for storytelling is a point of pride, consistently garnering praise from the kids I've had the privilege to babysit for. Their glowing reviews speak to my commitment to creating a safe, fun, and enriching environment.
