Lee is a gem of a human being and caregiver. She is a warm, funny and overall wonderful person who truly loves children, and she's taken exceptional care of our toddler and baby many times over the past several months since we found her. She really connects with the kids and it's obvious she truly enjoys being with them, and she reports back on any developments, often sending pictures and videos. She is a special-needs advocate and particularly helped with our son in that regard. On top of that, many times we hire her to help with bedtime and to stand guard at night while our kids are sleeping, and - without any request on our part - she's often taken it upon herself to help organize our stuff (toys, kitchen, etc), which is such a gift to come home to for a couple of exhausted parents. She has our full and glowing recommendation.

Lee is amazing! Definitely go for her. Our nanny was out of country for a week and so we had asked Lee to baby sit and she was wonderful. She made my son comfortable and took extra efforts to ensure he is feeling safe and happy. She kept on sending me pictures of the baby through the day which was super helpful. She is always willing to provide extra help and support if baby is taking a nap.

Thank you! It was an absolute pleasure working for you! You are so lovely and easy to work for. I miss Viru hope to see everyone soon!

I had the pleasure of having Leonides take care of my 9 year old son for four straight nights in the city. Not only was she responsible, reliable, on-time, professional, and extremely nice, but by the last night she felt like family. It is hard to find somebody you can trust with your own child, but Leonides made me feel at ease. I was able to go out and enjoy my vacation without having to worry about the safety of my child. Leonides sent photos of my son throughout the night and checked in with me to see if there was anything she could do to make my vacation more special. I highly recommend Leonides for any babysitting/caregiver needs. Any trip we take to New York I will make sure Leonides is available before I book my trip.

My 4 year old son really enjoyed spending time with Leonides and he was willing to give her more than 5 stars. She did a great job of not only playing with him, but also of trying to teach him. He was very impressed by the singing of a book as well.

Lee was one of the most communicative sitters we've found through this site. She was prompt, sent us photos of our daughter during the night, and took the initiative to bring some of her own resources to play with her when we mentioned that we were currently on vacation. Our daughter warmed up to her quickly.

Lee took wonderful care of my bunny Chloe while I was away. She was professional, reliable, and I felt comfortable on vacation knowing she was well taken care of. I highly recommend Lee!

Lee is so lovely. I would still be using her but I am moving so no longer need her. She is great with my baby and very considerate of how I want to raise him. She is a pleasure to have around.
