About Elaine

Hi families! I'm Yelena. I previously fostered up to 10 children, giving me deep, hands-on experience caring for kids of all ages, backgrounds, and personalities. I'm able to provide thoughtful, well-rounded care for children ranging from infants to teens. I'm patient, creative, and easy to connect with, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with kids-- whether that's playing outdoor sports, board games, educational activities, or reading together. I'm comfortable caring for up to four children, and I am happy to assist with transportation, light housekeeping, travel, crafts, and swimming supervision. I respect each family's unique approach and follow the parent's lead when it comes to household rules, while maintaining clear and consistent communication through your preferred method. Being able to support families while helping children feel safe, happy, and encouraged is something I truly value.
