Ela Lovalvo
New York,NY
Summary
Highly motivated and culturally diverse 32-year-old with extensive experience in childcare and a strong background in international cultures. I was raised abroad, educated in an international school, and later studied at NYU in Manhattan. I am very familiar with the city, and reside in Murray Hill area.
My professional journey includes working in the tech industry in Los Angeles, transitioning into Life Coaching, and currently pursuing a Master’s degree to support individuals in psychotherapy. My flexible schedule and residence in Manhattan allow me to provide consistent and dedicated care.
My nurturing background, influenced by a seasoned executive father and access to exceptional education, equips me with the skills and empathy necessary to support young minds effectively.
I have a very playful and kind spirit, and can connect with children very easily. I left a successful tech career to follow my passion for nannying and child psychotherapy, and I am eager to contribute to the growth and well-being of children.
