Kayeann Leesburg
$25 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Kayeann and I have been working as a nanny for 41 years and I love what I am doing. Children are a blessing to work with in my eyes, I adore working with newborns through five years old because that is the most important years of their lives. During the first five years children are a sponge and learn so much. Children over all are just a pleasure to work with. I love working with the future of the world and inspiring them to be the best they can be.

Hi! I’m Stavroula (Lula for short!). I recently graduated from George Washington University and will be starting my master’s program this fall. I’ve always loved working with children and have years of hands-on experience caring for my two younger twin brothers while growing up, as well as babysitting many of their friends. I’m patient, dependable, and energetic, and I enjoy creating a fun, safe, and positive environment for kids. Whether we’re playing outside, doing crafts, helping with homework, reading stories, or just finding creative ways to stay entertained, I love keeping children engaged. I’m also happy to prepare simple meals, help with light housekeeping related to the kids, and assist with bedtime routines when needed. I understand how important it is for parents to have someone they can trust, and I take pride in being responsible, reliable, and attentive. I look forward to getting to know your family and providing the best care possible!
