I have a BS in Art Education and a BFA in studio art. I started working with PreSchool age children in 2005. In 2012 I began working as a career full-time Nanny. September 2020, I moved from Brooklyn to Philly to start over and am now ready to start looking for another family to grow with. I have over 10 years collectively of childcare experience, working with many types of children including those with special needs. My preschool room in Brooklyn was 12 students for 2 teachers, all in dipers. I assure you; any sort of mischieve a child likes to get into, I have already dealt with at least once. I write, I paint, I enjoy my garden and living in my apartment. I am from Western North Carolina (Asheville) origionally. I am extremely Appalachain in temperment; I am cool headed, earnest, and truthful. I enjoy keeping extremely organized- Read more I write everything down- and feel confident I can meet the needs of a family in the area. If you are considering a full time Nanny for your child including infants and multiples, I hope to hear from you.

Heather (goes by Lela) is awesome, we are so glad we found her, and highly recommend her to any of our friends that are looking for full time or date night sitters. She is very experienced working with young children, and accommodating to many different parenting styles. Our toddler absolutely adores her, and Lela navigates the fussy and moody moments that most toddlers express very calmly and professionally.
