Hello! My name is Leona and I have been working with children for nearly 20 years now. my love of caring for children started way back in high school. I started with volunteer work and baby sitting then moved on to working as a toddler teacher in a licensed child development center. I have over 5 years experience as being a early education teacher with a focus on working with the ages of 1-3 years of age. I have experience working with children from 6 weeks to 12 years.
Leona has been a valuable part of our family for a year and a half, joining us when our daughter was around 18 months old. She possesses remarkable qualities as a nanny—kindness, responsibility, and trustworthiness—making her someone our daughter adores spending time with. I’ve also appreciated Leona’s patients and ability to stick with routines while gently holding boundaries. In fact, we’ve enjoyed her so much, that we plan to continue hiring her for occasional weekends. Leona was also the first caretaker that my husband and I felt comfortable leaving our daughter with while we went out for date nights; knowing she could navigate bathtime, dinner, and even putting her down - which at times could be a challenge. She has been very reliable, rarely missing a day of work, and if she ever needed to be late, she communicated it promptly. We have truly cherished having Leona as part of our family and believe any family would be fortunate to have her.
