About Leanna
Experience: 3 yrs
**I am currently employed through fall 2019-spring 2020 and cannot take on new clients at this time!** I am currently in the Ph. D. program at NIU for clinical child psychology, and am looking for a caregiving position over the summer. I have experience caregiving with infants and children. I grew up babysitting younger cousins, ranging from when they were infants to preteens. In 2015-2016 I was a caregiver for a 2 and 4-year-old, one of whom had special needs. In my graduate program, I have worked with toddlers and young children, including helping with behaviors related to autism, anxiety, ADHD, among other. I am confident that I can create a happy, rich environment, handle problem behaviors and special-needs related issues, and have lot of fun. I love kids and animals, have flexible hours, and am looking forward to the experience!

Leanna has been babysitting my two children for the past three years. She's great! She gets them involved in activities every time she comes over. They look forward to seeing her every time. Leanna has a great personality and genuinely enjoys being around children. Would highly recommend!
