A little bit about me

Howdy! I'm Lo! 🤠 I've been working with kids for years and genuinely love creating fun, engaging, and safe environments where they can learn, play, and be themselves!!! I was a full-time live-in nanny for a little boy from ages 3–7, cared for twin infant boys from birth to 7 months, and have years of babysitting experience with children of all ages.

I'm very hands-on and love crafts, baking, library trips, outdoor adventures, games, and creative projects. I believe kids should be included in everyday life (not just entertained) so I love finding ways to turn grocery runs, cooking, errands, and daily routines into opportunities for learning and fun.

I'm endlessly curious and passionate about books, learning, and helping kids build confidence by exploring the world around them. My goal is always to bring warmth, joy, and a little whimsy into each child's day while giving parents peace of mind that their little ones are safe, loved, and well cared for!

A little bit about me

Hi parents! I’m Leslie, 19 years old, fluent in Spanish, and a big believer in creating a safe and happy environment for kids. I’ve traveled around the world, so I bring a lot of patience, attentiveness, and creativity into how I connect with children.

I know how important it is for parents to feel that their kids are not only safe but also cared for with genuine love and attention. I’m the type of sitter who gets on the floor to play, helps with schoolwork, and makes sure bedtime routines feel fun and comforting. At the same time, I’m responsible, reliable, and protective so you can truly relax knowing everything is under control.

I'm not just “watching kids” I'm giving families peace of mind and making children feel seen, secure, and happy.
