Meet Elaina

I am an occupational therapist living in Ravenswood and looking to establish connections with families in the area. I have a master's degree in occupational therapy from Rush University and I have over 15 years of experience babysitting and nannying, including two summers spent nannying multiples. I have also worked with both typically developing and special needs children in schools and private clinics. I love working with kids of all ages, from infants to adolescents! I am responsible, patient, flexible and fun. I have received both COVID-19 vaccine doses and practice proper mask-wearing and hand hygiene. Looking forward to meeting you and your family!

Elaina has been sitting for our twins(b/g) for a few month now on a regular date night . We asked she she could help for the twins first birthday party and had quite a few kids over. She was amazing! The kids just love her and take to her instantly.
