I'm Elena, I'm an American designer and writer with experience cooking professionally, so I'm especially equipped with many of the diverse duties necessary when nourishing and helping educate children and nurturing their creativity. I have an extremely flexible schedule of freelance work so I'm looking to supplement my income and have the chance to hang out and have fun with some really intelligent and cool kids. I do have some experience with children experiencing some neurodivergence but am not specialized and therefore uncomfortable caring for children with more advanced needs unfortunately. In my spare time I'm writing essays, painting, going to galleries, having dinner with my friends, reading novels, and playing games! I'd love to explore these kinds of educational and creative projects with your children as well. J'ai déménagé à Montréal depuis trois ans et demi, alors mon français n'est pas parfait mais j'ai déjà complété le cours complet de francisation. Je peux bien sûr communiquer mes idées et avoir des conversations, mais s'il vous plaît ne me demandez pas à discuter la philosophie. ;) J'ai aussi juste eu mon education en français, pis je peux faire le tutorat aux enfants qui ont juste commence leurs education en français ou je peux bien sûr faire le tutorat en toutes les niveaux en anglais. Hoy también cómoda en español, creo que yo puedo ayudar con la educación de los niños. Cuando estuve en Estados Unidos, tomé muchos cursos de español porque crecí en Colorado.

I have held previous positions working at a pre-school as an assistant to my mother and as a long-term nanny for a family with three children. One of the children was 10 months old when I met her, and I had the privilege of watching her grow into her toddler years. The other two children were 4 and 6 years old when I began nannying and it was truly a joy to witness their growth.
