With over 5 years of experience in the childcare world – including as a camp counselor, theatre instructor, and nanny – Elena has been able to combine her passions for kids and helping people in her role at Westside Nannies. She originally joined our WN team as a nanny in 2016, and we were over the moon when she returned as our brilliant Recruiter in 2020!
A creative New Yorker, Elena is a lover of people, nature, and the arts. She started in theatre when she was only 7, went on to graduate from the American Musical and Dramatic Academy, and now doubles as a Recruiter and musical theatre star! Her willingness to grow, learn, and evolve makes her the type of person you want to surround yourself with. It is rare to catch Elena without a smile, and hard to conceal yours once you see hers!
Her empathy and ability to form lasting connections with people are just two of the many reasons why she’s in the perfect role – she gets to meet new faces every day, learn about candidate’s backgrounds, and assist in the matchmaking process. Whether something falls within her ‘job description’ or not, she’s always willing to go the extra mile, all while spreading warmth and positivity amongst our team!
In her free time, you can find her outdoors, cooking her favorite vegetarian meals, traveling (she has been to over 30 countries!), or smothering her pit bull mix with love. Elena has truly redefined the term “teammate” within our company, and we know you’ll love her just as much as we do!
