A little bit about me


I AM your Mary Poppins!
Well, ok I can’t do magic and my name is Kathy Leal.
I have been married to a fantastic man (most days) for 18 yrs., proud mom of 3 kids (19,22,24) and super proud GiGi to my perfect granddaughter.
Nannying was literally the most amazing time for me!
I started as a regular ol’ babysitter. Then, BAM…my first nanny job at age 21. Caring for 6 mos. old twins; full time 8-7, Monday- Friday.
I went on to be a private nanny for the next 10 years….loving every second and each person that came into my life.
I worked with 3 families over these years. I have NEVER been “let go” or fired from any position. My first 3 families I worked for found me I have only worked through 1 nanny agency, A Choice Nanny/Wyckoff.
I have raised my kiddos. They are well off on their paths; I am just here for guidance.
I am open…I am dependable….I have had the joy of helping to raise kiddos for the past 30 years of my life.
Like I said….Mary Poppins.

Lisa Massardo (Michael, Rachael & Alex’s mom 🧑 n Woodcliff Lake )& Jill McGovern (mom of Alana & Nicole in Wyckoff) I do not have a number for…we keep in touch through Facebook weekly.
I lost contact with Ben’s mom when they moved to Chicago.

Joanne Kramer [phone number hidden] Glen Rock
Mom of Joey, Ruth & Jack

I did not keep in touch with the Osei family in Ridgewood(Gabby, Reese & Avery)…I do not have a contact for them.

I also was the aftercare director for Aaron Decker Schools YMCA program.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

Music, arts & crafts, play at the park, go for nature walks, experience new outings (within parental guidelines). One of my absolute favorite things is plan a “Surprise Day” with Mom & Dad. I take the kiddos on a day adventure zoo, aquarium, picnic in a new fun park, something or somewhere they have never been!
These are some of my favorite days!
I also love playing on the snow with kiddos. If the can make it past 1/2 I am thrilled!
I am honestly up for just about anything!

The most important part about being a nanny...

To me, it’s all about the family dynamic. The partnership btwn Mom/Dad & myself is so very important. The consistency of day to day routines for children, everyone in the same page.
When you are caring for kiddos, you show them the world around with safety and excitement.

My experience with special needs children...

The second family I nannied for, Mom reached out to me after seeing me with the twins….ling story short; the twins moved and Ben came early! A NICU preemie. Ben was a joy! I was there for literally every Dr visit, his bris, holidays & birthdays. Hearing 1st coos, laughs, Words ;he was a true chatterbox).
Read that after Ben turned 2, Mom and Dad moved to Chicago. Unfortunately I was not able to keep in touch.

The most important part about being a nanny...

When I had the children I nannied for as flower girls and ring bearer at my first wedding. That was 1999….still in touch with them today.
More recently, watching a kiddo while she passed her “deep water test” at the pool!
Ice Cream for all
