I have always loved working with children; I have over 16 years experience working as a babysitter and nanny. My first summer job was babysitting, almost full-time, at the age of 15. Sidetracked by college, I earned Bachelor in Science at University of Cincinnati's Design Art Architecture and Planning school, meanwhile traveling to Santa Fe and San Francisco to earn credits, working as an intern. After two years working at an architecture office, I decided not only to change my career, but to relocate from my hometown in Kentucky to Los Angeles where I could make a living doing the job that I love—nannying! My passions lie in art, design, music and poetry. I hope to join a family that values creativity. My ideal family would also place importance in environmental issues, humor and food! Did I mention I like to cook? I worked as an assistant to a nutritional Read more counselor and prepared meals for the family for three years! I'm active, I like to organize and decorate, and I even enjoy cleaning!

We have had experience with several nannies over the last 5 years for our two young daughters (6 and 4). Lena has been among the very best. She is a mature individual whom we can count on, and has a fun and balanced approach with the girls. We highly recommend working with her! Please contact me if you have any questions, Rebecca R.
