About LeLani
Experience: 10 yrs
Hi, I'm LeLani! I have been taking care of children for over 35 years. I have experience with children of all ages. I have worked as a live-in nanny, daycare assistant & special needs nanny. I have experience with CP, Epilepsy, Hydrocephalous, Dwarfism, all Spectrum disorders, blindness, deafness, MD, CF, medication dispensing and G-tube feeding. I currently nanny 7 children in three different families & have been w/ them for 2 1/2 years. One family: 4 children all with special needs, ages 8, 9, 9 & 12, (Lompoc), one family has 2yr-old twins, in (Lompoc) and the other is a single, typical, 2 1/2-year-old child in (AG). I teach infant sign language, am a Mandatory Reporter, I have been CPR certified many times & am just the test away from being an RBT. I am currently looking to fill the gaps in my hours because I don't like free time & enjoy working all the time. I'm looking for someone who needs help M-F 2-6, date nights, weddings, special occasions. I have lots of references.
Most recent review
Lelani is the nanny every family hopes to find for their children. She has worked with our family (4 kids) for the past three years. Our kids range in ages, including two whom have disabilities; all our kids adore her. Lelani brings great creativity and enthusiasm to the home and engages each child based on their individual needs. She is fully focused on the kids when working, and they are her sole priority. Lelani is accepting of all families. The children she cares for quickly become like family to her and she treats all with an expressive love and kindness. We would recommend her for any families, and strongly recommend her for families who have children with disabilities or extra needs. Her heart and dedication to these kids is unwavering and reliable.
