About Elle

Every family has its own rhythm; my role is to understand it, and become part of it without imposing my own.

Over the years I've cared for children across Europe, the US, the UAE and beyond. From newborns to school-age children, through quiet weekdays at home and spontaneous afternoons in a new city.

My priority is to integrate naturally into each family, understanding their habits, expectations and language, so that the transition feels seamless.

Testimonials

What families who have trusted me say

Excellent 5.0 · Based on 16 reviews on Google
"My wife and I recently booked Elle for our travels in Barcelona with our 2 year old daughter. We were so thankful for the assistance so we could take a beat and have time to ourselves while knowing our daughter was well taken care of. Our daughter who is usually a bit timid with new caregivers immediately took to Elle and was playing within minutes. We'll definitely look to hire again in future travel to Europe and would recommend to families headed abroad for babysitting or travel nanny services!"
— Phil
"I had a work trip to Barcelona and took my girls and found Elle online (Facebook) and she had great reviews. We did an interview with her and felt really good about her. She planned an amazing (but flexible) agenda and picked up the kids from the hotel everyday and then took the kids while I worked. I felt at peace knowing my kids were well taken care of and having SO MUCH fun that I got jealous! She sent great updates throughout the day and also did a great job tracking receipts for all expenses. Months later and my kids still talk about Elle and how much fun she had and how she had so many entertaining lines."
— Suel
"We had a lovely experience working with Elle on our two week holiday. She is proactive, kind, flexible and was really good with both of our babies (5m and 18m). Besides being caring, energetic, hygienic she is service oriented, dependable and easy to work with. We would definitely recommend her. Thank you Elle for making our holiday stress-free."
— Rahat
"We hired Elle while in Costa Brava for a wedding where our kids were onsite but couldn't be at the festivities. From the moment she walked in our hotel room, our kids took to her. She brought activities for them and got to playing. We felt absolutely confident they would be well taken care of. Our middle is typically our tough nut to crack but he was the one calling for her when he got upset about something. She stayed in contact as needed throughout the evening and got all our kids to sleep. We are grateful to have found her as she truly made our night out stress free."
— Sarah
"Elle was an incredible nanny for our family during the month we lived in Barcelona. She was caring, dependable, and truly amazing with our two kids (2 & 6) from day one. She quickly became part of our routine and planned fun, creative outings like trips to the aquarium, science museum, and local playgrounds. At home, Elle kept the kids engaged with cooking, crafts, and games, and never relied on screen time. I can't recommend Elle highly enough!"
— Jordan
"We were in Barcelona for a nearly 3 week trip. Elle helped us nearly every day. When we ask our daughters (4 and 6 at the time) what their favorite part of the trip was, they exclaim: 'ELLE!!!' Elle was extremely professional. We had absolutely no concerns with leaving our daughters with her unattended and romping throughout the city. She even prepared for our trip and helped us plan before even arriving! I could not recommend her any more highly!"
— Noah
"Extrêmement compétente et professionnelle, Elle a régulièrement gardé notre fille pendant un an. C'était un vrai bonheur de l'avoir à la maison. Elle est vraiment douée avec les enfants et les animaux. Elle cuisine très bien et range tout derrière elle. Nous la considérions comme un membre de notre famille ! Je recommande ses services à 100 %."
— Julie
"We've had the pleasure of working with Elle twice now - one week in Switzerland and another in the Hamptons, New York - and both experiences were great. Elle is reliable, caring, fun, energetic, and wonderfully proactive. Keeping up with our very active boys is no easy task, but she did it effortlessly. Perhaps what stood out most was how intuitive and helpful she is. Elle made our holidays so much more relaxing and enjoyable."
— Kateryna
"We used Elle several times when we had to travel to Barcelona for work. She could easily manage my 1 and 3 year olds routine. Took them out to the park, prepared lunch and did nap time. My 3 year old loved getting to meet her golden retriever. We will definitely use her again when we are back in Spain."
— Delaina
"My husband and I had a fantastic experience with Elle in Barcelona. She looked after our nine-month-old child for two days while I was working, and we could not have asked for better care. From our first video call Elle was organised, kind, and communicative, and in person she brought such fun, friendly energy. We would highly recommend Elle to any parents looking for someone reliable, attentive, and genuinely caring."
— Soraya
"Best ever. Our kid is 4y old and super active, but with Elle so much fun and meantime safety never seen before. Thank you. You are the best."
— Koka
"Elle is absolutely amazing! She took wonderful care of my 4-year-old with such patience and empathy. She has a rare gift for finding structure in unstructured play - turning everyday moments into creative learning experiences. The kids are always excited to see her. I couldn't recommend Elle more highly - caring, thoughtful, and truly great with children."
— D
"Our kids love Elle, always excited for spending time with her. I am pleased to recommend Elle as an exceptional nanny & English teacher for young learners. Her dedication, creativity, and warmth have made a lasting impact on my child's early English education. Blending Montessori-inspired methods with dynamic play-based learning, she has worked with our family twice weekly for months."
— Amber
"We had a fantastic experience with Elle when she babysat for our 4 month old while we attended a wedding in Sitges. She was highly responsive and very easy to communicate with. While in Sitges, she did a great job giving bottles, changing diapers, and swaddling our baby to sleep, sending pictures and text updates throughout the night. I feel lucky to have connected with her and would happily use her again!"
