Hi! I'm Lesley. I have experience caring for children of various ages and have had the opportunity to work with many wonderful families over the years, including several repeat families. I enjoy building positive relationships with both children and parents and creating a safe, fun, and supportive environment where kids can feel comfortable and engaged. Over the past several years, I've built a professional career in business and operations, which has strengthened my organization, communication, problem-solving, and responsibility skills. I bring those same qualities to every family I work with and pride myself on being dependable, patient, and attentive. I especially enjoy spending quality time with children through games, crafts, outdoor activities, reading, and helping with homework or daily routines. My goal is always to make children feel supported while giving parents peace of mind when they're away. Outside of work, I enjoy traveling, staying active, exploring Los Angeles, and spending time at home with my two cats. I'm also very comfortable around pets and am happy to help families with cats and dogs as needed. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your family, and I would love the opportunity to help. Please feel free to reach out with any questions. I look forward to connecting with you!

Hi, I’m Emily! I have worked in childcare for about 10+ years, I have been a sitter/nanny, a counselor, a swim coach/instructor and a day care worker.
