I’m an experienced childcare professional with over seven years of hands-on experience working with children of all ages. I’ve been both a live-in and full-time nanny, and I’ve supported multiple families over the years with everything from daily routines to developmental activities. I also worked as an after-school program leader for middle school students, giving me strong skills in homework support, behavior management, and creating fun, structured activities. I have experience with children from 2 months up to 12 years old, and I’m confident handling schedules, meal prep, light cleaning, naps, school pick-ups, and creating a safe, warm environment. I’m very organized, reliable, and clean, and I have my own car with a valid driver’s license. I am also CPR certified/infant first aid certified. I love helping families feel supported and making sure their kids feel cared for, engaged, and comfortable!

I have 20+ years in housekeeping and have great reputations with all the people I’ve worked with in the past. Every day I come in with a great attitude and wanting to make my clients day by attending to their housekeeping needs.

Lupe was phenomenal! We will look forward to working with her in the future!

I am a dedicated Medical Assistant with over a decade of experience working with children ages 2 to 12, fostering their creativity through art, crafts, singing, dance, and play. I also have experience providing senior care in a hospital setting. I am familiar with ADLs, companionship, and supporting adults' needs. Additionally, I am comfortable with pet care, particularly around large dogs, as long as they are friendly. Outside of work, I enjoy reading and staying active by going to the gym. I find joy in engaging with others and learning about their life stories.

Hi! I’m Leslie, I understand how important it is for parents to feel their child is truly cared for. I’m naturally patient, and detail-oriented (comes with being a paralegal) and I bring that same energy into childcare. I love creating calm, safe routines, being attentive to emotional needs, and making sure families feel supported. I’m big on communication, I handle unexpected situations with a clear head, and I genuinely enjoy helping little ones feel secure, understood, and loved. If you’re looking for someone dependable, and easy to work with, I’ve got you!

Very good with small children, highly recommend her!
