A little bit about me

Hello! My name is Leana, and I'm a college student majoring in healthcare studies on the pre-med track. I'm deeply passionate about healthcare and medicine, and I'm currently working towards my goal of becoming a physician.

In addition to my studies, I have a strong love for working with children. I find immense joy in nurturing their growth and development, and I believe that my background in healthcare studies equips me with valuable skills and insights that can benefit the children under my care.

I understand the importance of providing a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment for children to thrive in. Whether it's organizing educational activities, assisting with homework, or simply being a caring and attentive presence, I am committed to ensuring that the children I care for feel loved, supported, and happy.

I believe that being a nanny is not just a job, but a meaningful opportunity to make a positive impact in the lives of children and their families.

More About Me

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

One of my favorite things to do is to explore the outdoors with them. Whether it's going for nature walks, having picnics in the park, or simply playing games in the backyard, I find that outdoor activities encourage them to stay active, appreciate nature, and learn about the world around them.
I'm also a big fan of arts and crafts! From painting and drawing to making homemade crafts with everyday materials, I enjoy sparking their imagination and helping them express their creativity. Another activity I love doing with children is cooking and baking. I find that involving them in the kitchen not only teaches them valuable life skills but also provides opportunities for them to explore new foods and flavors. Of course, I also enjoy quieter activities like reading books together, playing board games, or doing puzzles. These activities not only promote literacy and critical thinking skills but also provide opportunities for bonding and quality time together.

The most important part about being a nanny...

The most important part about being a nanny is undoubtedly the bond that I form with the children under my care. Additionally, I recognize the importance of being a positive role model for the children. I aim to embody qualities such as kindness, patience, and empathy in my interactions with them, knowing that I play a significant role in shaping their values and behaviors. Beyond that, I understand the responsibility that comes with being a nanny. Ensuring the safety and welfare of the children is always my top priority, and I take every precaution to create a secure environment for them to thrive in.

My experience with special needs children...

As a nanny, I've had the incredible opportunity to work with special needs children, and it has been an immensely rewarding experience. Each child is unique, and I've learned so much from them about compassion, patience, and resilience. One of the most important aspects of caring for special needs children is understanding and embracing their individual strengths and challenges. This allows me to tailor my approach to meet their specific needs and provide the best possible care and support. I've had the privilege of assisting children with a variety of special needs, including autism spectrum disorder, ADHD, Down syndrome, and physical disabilities. Whether it's helping them with daily activities, providing sensory stimulation, or implementing behavioral strategies, I approach each day with dedication and a willingness to adapt to their ever-changing needs.

The most important part about being a nanny...

One of my favorite nanny moments was when I organized a surprise outdoor treasure hunt for the children I was caring for. I spent hours setting up clues and hiding small treasures around the backyard, and the anticipation of their reaction filled me with excitement.
