"Monica was an assistant teacher in the infant room that I was a supervisor. She was so loving and caring for all the infants from age newborn to 18 months. She made sure that all their needs were met and they were as happy as they could be. The kids all loved her. She also worked in the other classrooms at the preschool all the way to school age. She was very reliable and would help in any area they needed. She would be a very great nanny, any family who has her as a nanny is so lucky ❤"

A little bit about me

I'd describe my personality as gentle, loving, genuine and fun!

I enjoy working with children because being apart of their growth and development is impactful and meaningful. I have 8 years of childcare experience.

I started working with children about 7 years ago, I worked at a child care center. I also provided care for various families. Ages ranged from 4 months to 7 years.

In my spare time, I like to practice and teach yoga. Hiking, beach days, nature immersion.

One thing you should know about me is I am great around children. I have a huge capacity to empathize and understand children of all ages. I genuinely enjoy being of service. I focus on the happiness, comfortability and growth of your child/children.

My goal as your nanny is to create a safe and developmentally appropriate environment to compliment your child's nurturing and maximize their growth and potential. As your nanny, my hope is that I become a part of your family, as your child will become a part of mine. I have 11 yrs of nanny experience, have been a full-time nanny for 7 yrs and have run multiple nanny shares. Most recently, I've worked as a preschool teacher at our local church and have been with an incredible family whose son is heading to preschool. I also have two children of my own, a 6yr old daughter and a 15mo son! We love spending time outside, attending parks, museums and age appropriate activities for children, as well as crafting, reading, exploring, and any other classes or activities you have in mind! I have 3yrs of healthcare experience as a CNA. My certifications and experience include: CPR/FA , CNA, Newborn Care Specialist, Epipen training and dietary restrictions. I'm looking forward to hearing from you!

"Leanna has become such a cherished member of our family and has had such a positive impact on our child and our own lives. Her qualities of compassion, patience, and a positive attitude are truly invaluable. The fact that she is able to handle both our 1-year-old son and her own toddler with such ease and create a strong bond between them is a testament to her caregiving skills.The way she treats both boys equally and nurtures their strengths while boosting their confidence is truly commendable. Children thrive in an environment where they feel loved, supported, and encouraged, and Leanna provides just that. Her excellent accountability and communication are crucial traits that gives us confidence and reassurance in her ability to care for our child. She is always open minded and flexible with accommodating our family's needs. Her high energy and playfulness definitely create a joyful atmosphere for the children, and her smiling face can undoubtedly brighten up everyone's day."
