Meet Leslie

  • Comfortable with pets

Hello! I live in Chicago and have a full-time job as an Implementation Business Analyst for a software company. I work one day a week at the front desk of the Bar Method fitness studio greeting clients and setting up before/after classes. I don't have any children of my own, but love being around children of all ages watching them react to new things and explore the world. I consider myself to be optimistic, friendly, energetic, creative, and firm when necessary. Outside of my full time job, I avoid screen time as much as possible. I much prefer to be out doing new things - love the arts, baking/cooking, and being active. I babysat regularly in high school and college - ages from infant to elementary. While in high school I volunteered at a local fitness center in the day care center, caring for children as their parents used the Read more gym. I participated in Big Brothers/Big Sisters in college and enjoyed mentoring children in underserved communities. I have three nieces (infant and toddler age) and a 5 year old nephew that I frequently care for and enjoy spoiling :) I am generally available evenings and weekends.

Leslie is so wonderful, we have had her come multiple times to watch our 2 year old and 4 month old. She made us feel so comfortable and dealt with toddler tantrums and infant bottle refusals with grace :). Would recommend her highly!

Leslie is amazing. The best sitter we have ever had - my 3 children (2,5 &7) absolutely love her!

Leslie has been wonderful with both our boys. She’s so patient while they warmed up to her and put us at ease when we were out of the house knowing they’re having fun and we’ll cared for under her care. We will continue to use Leslie.

Leslie has been truly a wonder with our three year old who she has watched several times. Communication and responsiveness are always excellent and we highly recommend working with Leslie!

Leslie has been so great with our 3 year old. She is always very warm with him and makes him feel comfortable. He is typically apprehensive when he senses we are leaving and it never phases her. She gives him time to acclimate and every time we leave, he is happily playing with her. She is also very patient and flexible with him depending on his mood of the day (which you never know with toddlers!). We always are thrilled to have her over and could not feel more comfortable leaving for a date night. We have also recommended her to friends who have had great experiences as well. We highly recommend Leslie!

Leslie is kind, professional, flexible and everything we wanted in a sitter. She was the first sitter we have hired for our 8 month old (besides our parents) and I was nervous. I won't hesitate to call Leslie for our date nights. She is great and our little guy was safe and sound in her care.

Leslie was very kind and accommodating. She brought great energy and was very interactive with my 1 yo daughter. I would definitely hire her again.
