About Elita

Experience: 8 yrs

I have been nannying since I was 12, but my passion for childcare goes back to when I was six and my brother was born. I have always been very protective and responsible as the oldest child. I love playing with children and helping them grow in my own small way, whether that means exploring outside or reading them a book. I recently came back home from living in Italy, and prior to that I worked at TD Bank as a banking specialist. However, my true passion is to work with children, especially in smaller numbers so that I may have a greater understanding of the children's needs, wants, and personality. My goal is to someday open a small childcare business that emulates the "forest schools" seen in Germany as I believe it is very important for children to explore and grow in a naturally stimulating environment. I attended a babysitting class and I am certified in CPR. I graduated Cum Laude from Cheverus High School.
