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.
