Babysitter Available in Northampton, MA: Leila G.

"Leila is someone you can trust to engage with your child meaningfully, kindly, energetically, and thoughtfully. She is mindful, mature, and a respected sitter to our eight year old son, who quickly gained a good rapport with her. She is naturally a teacher and an artist, and colors the world with the love she has for the things she cares about, which also includes my son. I love how she shows up, follows up, and wants to know how your kiddo is doing beyond the context of the day ahead, but she looks at their personalities and growth as a trajectory, a journey she takes alongside the parent. Before working with Ethan, Leila spent many years caring for her younger sibling as well as forming a unique bond with a family as an au pair. She is an incredible person and resource for parents--I love her perspective and dedication to giving my child a great experience."

"Leila is kind, attentive and very engaging with our kiddo when she babysits. She understands how to effectively communicate with young children and has a strong understanding of child developmental stages. As a caregiver, she encourages child-led play while encouraging activities that are creative, educational and age appropriate. Most importantly, I can tell my child feels safe and cared for while with Leila and I trust her completely. She has my highest recommendation and any family would be lucky to work with her."
