A little bit about me

Hi My name is Leilani Perez, I am 20 years old and I am a Junior at Wentworth Institute of Technology studying computer engineering. I was born in New Jersey and was raised in Hyde Park since I was 5 years old. I attended Boston Public Schools up until middle school then I switched to be apart of the METCO program where i finished middle school and high school in Bedford, MA. I worked a part time job for about 5 years but I wanted to try something different that will fit with my school schedule.

A little bit about me

Life is always so serious, with society in uproar I couldn’t find a better way to spend my time! I truly love children and think they’re the inspiration of what we all want and what the future holds. But the real question is how can they peruse this without having loving and supporting people around them? As your nanny I can ensure your child will be taken care of and cared for in all aspects. I have experience with children, adults, pets, anything you can think of.. so that means I have a lot of patience lol!

A little bit about me

Hi, I’m Kat! My experience began in the Boy Scouts of America as a counselor, and my area of focus at my magnet high school was early childhood education. I’ve participated in and lead youth leadership training courses for the BSA and for the Family Career and Community Leaders of America. Service is a part of who I am, and these organizations granted me the skills to efficiently, compassionately, and responsibly serve the best interests of the children I care for. I was a part time teaching assistant for 2 years at a pre-school where I helped with classroom organization, homework, mealtimes, and more. I received my BFA in musical theater in May of 2020. I’m always looking for ways to integrate my passion for early childhood education with my passion for music and the arts. One day I’d like to teach music to children with special needs and to those who have limited access to arts in their communities. For the past year I’ve been nannying a 10 year old boy! Reach out and ask me more! :)
