I am a dedicated and nurturing childcare professional with over 5 years of experience working as a live-in nanny, babysitter, preschool teacher, and tutor. I have cared for children from newborns to 12 years old, and I truly enjoy supporting their growth, development, and daily routines through engaging, age-appropriate activities. I am fluent in English, isiZulu, and seSotho, and I am also a strong swimmer. While I do not currently own a personal car, I am fully comfortable driving children if a vehicle is provided. I maintain a clean driving record, am a U.S. citizen, and have held my driver’s license since age 17. I was born in South Africa and moved to the United States at age 13. Now 23 years old, I bring warmth, structure, and professionalism to every family I work with, along with extensive infant and toddler care experience.

If you're looking for someone who embodies compassion and empathy, look no further than Lelo. Over the past year, she has been a remarkable caregiver for my daughter, and our journey together began through our church activities, where Lelo generously volunteered in the children’s church sessions. Since then, she has become an irreplaceable part of our family, providing not only exceptional care but also warmth and joy in our home. We cannot recommend Lelo highly enough. Her dependability, nurturing spirit, and respectful demeanor make her a standout caregiver. If you have any questions or need more information, please reach out to us.
