About Leanne

Experience: 10 yrs

COVID-19 vaccinated

My name is Leanne. I have almost 30 years professional nanny/doula experience. I have worked with children of all ages and have additional experience with multiples, preemies, ADHD, autism, cerebral palsy and speech delay. Sleep and potty training whiz! I'm a mother of 2 wonderful grown children. I enjoyed raising them and watching them become the amazing people they are. I am college educated (Master's in SLP) and I've spent a large part of my life traveling the world. I am Montessori trained and pull from RIE and Waldorf disciplines. I have a clean background report and driving record as well as a newer model car. I'm CPR/first aid certified. I offer the best childcare money can buy. I'll keep the kids healthy, happy and educated and because I must stay busy, I'll clean, organize and keep your home running smoothly.

Annie was our newborn care specialist for the first 6 weeks of my daughter's life. She has 30 years' of experience and it shows, and as a pediatrician I was so grateful for her experience and for her knowledge that she shared with me. She cared for my daughter from 10pm-7am five days a week for 6 weeks, with option to extend her contract based on how my daughter was doing. She was dependable and punctual every night and kept in close communication with us through text message throughout the entire process. She also checked in on me each week leading up to delivery, which was such a lovely touch. Not only did she care for my daughter wonderfully and help us set up strong foundations for sleep training (thanks to her my daughter was sleeping through the night at 6 weeks of age) and breastfeeding (she even baked me lactation cookies!!!!), she also cared and advised us first-time parents on all things parenting. She's up to date on all the new research and evidence around parenting and caring for newborns, and is incredibly generous with her wisdom and thoughtful about advising us on all those things that make new parenthood easier (brand of sterilizer, bottle warmer, types of bottles, etc.). One could not ask for a better, kinder, more experienced newborn care specialist or childcare expert in general. I plan to have her come back for date nights, for sleep training in the future, and perhaps also infant swim rescue classes (as she is also a swim instructor)! Annie is a multi-talented person. I would highly recommend her for caring for your little ones.
