A little bit about me

Hi! I’m Leah. I am a fun, compassionate, and kind person and I absolutely love being a nanny.

I started my career as a nanny when I was living abroad in Holland and upon moving back to The States decided to continue pursuing it professionally and have never looked back.

For the last 10+ years I have worked for a family in Austin and helped raise their three children from birth to school-age. It has been an honor and a joy. I am hoping to once again join a family and help them on the wild ride that is parenthood!

Please reach out if you’d like to connect! Resume and letters of recommendation available upon request.

*My current employer has left her letter of recommendation and would be willing to speak on my behalf; she simply didn’t want her number on the site so please let me know if you would like to contact her and I can get you in touch.

"Handing our five-month-old to someone new wasn't easy, but Leah McConkey was everything we hoped for. She was our nanny for nearly two years (Oct 2024-June 2026), three days a week in our home. As an infant, Leah kept our son's schedule diligently, caring for him through wake windows and naps, and helping with housework in between. As he grew, she planned outings to the park and library, and made mealtimes something he looked forward to. She stayed calm and attentive in every situation, setting clear, caring boundaries and explaining things to our toddler rather than enforcing rules. She communicated openly and welcomed feedback, so we felt like partners in his care. Above all, Leah is playful and fun, and our son adored her. Every day we knew he was safe, happy, and loved. We recommend Leah without reservation to any family seeking a warm, attentive nanny."

"Leah has worked for our family of three kids (ages 8, 6 and 3) for over 8 years, which has included childcare, preparing dinner, laundry, grocery shopping, tidying the house, taking children to school, and supervising playdates. Leah is reliable, adaptable, compassionate, respectful, joyful, and acts with initiative and integrity. Leah is very direct and receptive in her communication. She is reliably on time. She demonstrates awareness of the differing needs of each family member, helping without having to be directed at every turn. Leah’s love of children, abundance of compassion, respect, self-awareness, and confidence make her an incredibly positive presence in our children’s lives. She is joyful and playful with the children, supporting and championing them in their growth and play, and accepting each exactly as they are. Leah is able to set and hold clear and consistent boundaries with compassion and firmness, and her redirection and discipline are carried out with respect."
