The Elevated Nanny

Certified Early Educator Support

What is “The Elevated Nanny”?

Intentional play and inclusive care, brought right into your home — specializing in neuro-inclusive support and sensory engagement, serving Edmonton & Area.

A welcome letter

Dear families,

Thank you for considering The Elevated Nanny to be a part of your child’s journey. As a certified Alberta ECE, I know that choosing someone to step into your home is a significant decision. My mission is to bridge the gap between high-standard educational care and the comfort of your child’s own environment.

This is more than just a list of services; it’s a look into my philosophy of intentional play, inclusive communication, and specialized engagement. Whether we’re practising new signs, exploring a sensory bin, or simply following a calm bedtime routine, my focus is always on making your child feel seen, heard, and supported.

I look forward to the possibility of growing with your family and creating many “Elevated” evenings together.

Warmly, JanFounder & Lead Educator — & The Elevated Nannies

Janet, founder of The Elevated Nanny

Meet the founder

Janet

The Elevated Nanny was founded by Janet, a certified Alberta ECE professional who brings daycare-standard expertise into the home. Unlike traditional sitting, her care is rooted in child development, safety, and intentional engagement — she doesn’t just “watch” children, she partners with families to support their growth. Today, that same philosophy guides every nanny on the team.

Our approach

Expert-Led Care

Every Elevated Nanny brings certified, daycare-standard expertise into your home. Care is rooted in child development, safety, and intentional engagement — they don’t just “watch” children, they partner with families to support their growth.

Inclusive Communication

Every child deserves to be heard. The team specializes in diverse communication styles, including Sign Language (ASL) and sensory-based engagement. Whether a child is neurotypical, on the spectrum, or simply a late talker, their specialized background helps every child feel understood and empowered.

Screen-Free Engagement

Our nannies arrive with custom-curated “Engagement Bags” designed to spark curiosity. From sensory bins to literacy-rich play, they provide high-quality, screen-free entertainment that aligns with each child’s interests and developmental stage.

The Evening Specialist

The “6:00 PM to Bedtime” window is a specialty. The team are experts in maintaining calm, consistent evening routines — including nutritious meal prep and gentle wind-down rituals — so you can return to a peaceful home and a sleeping child.

A Partnership Built on Trust

The Elevated Nanny believes in total transparency and professional excellence — sharing a clear look into safety certifications, service philosophy, and business policies, so you always know exactly who is caring for your family.

Play with a purpose

A child’s work is their play

Every activity in an Engagement Bag is intentionally chosen to spark curiosity, build confidence, and support your child’s developmental journey. Our play is organized around four developmental pillars.

Fine Motor & Logic

Developing problem-solving and spatial awareness.

Sensory Exploration

Supporting emotional regulation and tactile discovery.

Gross Motor Play

Building strength, coordination, and a love for movement.

Creative Expression

Focusing on the process of creation over the final product.

Engagement activities

When we arrive, the “boredom” ends

The secret to a peaceful afternoon is preparation. Our Engagement Bags arrive packed with everything from process-art supplies to complex building sets — you get to focus on your work (or your coffee!) while we engineer a new city in the living room.

Themed Sensory Bins

To help with regulation and focus.

STEM Builders

Like our favourite magnetic tiles, for logic and spatial skills.

Interactive Literacy

Books and puppets that make storytime come alive.

Monthly Activity Calendars

A custom calendar for your family, plus an agency calendar with 1–3 activities a week.

Snapshots in action

Inside an Engagement Bag

Every visit, your nanny arrives with a custom-curated bag of screen-free activities — sensory bins, literacy-rich play, communication tools, and outdoor fun, matched to your child’s interests and stage.
