Hi! I am Leigh. I have been working with children for over 20 years. I have the most experience with newborns and infants. I've worked in varying environments and with diverse families throughout my career. I've taught children nutrition & culinary education, worked in daycare centers and with private families. The families I've helped have come from all backgrounds withy varying different needs; colicky infants, parents in medicine working overnight shifts, foster families, LQBTQ+ families and special needs, just to name some. Additionally, I have experience providing healthy meals and meal planning for picky eaters, busy parents, and breast feeding Mom's with special caloric needs. I also love animals and have experience with pet sitting! I LOVE working with children and pride myself in offering the highest level of quality caregiving for each and every family I've worked with. I understand how stressful it can be to leave your child Read more with a new caregiver and will do everything I can to make sure your child/dren are safe, nurtured, and loved as if they were with family while you are away. I have references from highly established professional that I would be happy to share upon your request.
