Hi! My name is Leslie and I have over 10 years of experience working as a nanny in private homes. I’m a certified Newborn Care Specialist with a nursing background, and I hold current CPR and First Aid certifications. I have extensive experience caring for newborns, infants, and toddlers. I’m calm, patient, and attentive, and I take pride in creating a safe, nurturing, and peaceful environment where children feel comfortable and parents feel at ease.

Hi my name is Lexi and I am 25 years old. I just moved back to Scottsdale after being on the east coast for a year! I graduated from Arizona State University with my Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN, RN) in May 2023. That being said I am CPR/BLS certified and am a RN (Registered Nurse) with a year and a half experience working at a Level 1 Trauma Center in the Emergency Room and now working in a surgical setting at a Level 1 Trauma Center. I work 4 days a week M-F and am occasionally on-call for weekends and nights, so I have occasional availability! I grew up with two younger siblings and have been watching over them from a young age. I have had several babysitting jobs throughout the years and still continue to do it for my love of the job. I have experience watching ages ranging from 4 months-11 years old. I am a reliable, friendly, caring, and look forward to meeting your kids! :) Please feel free to message me with any questions!
